Okay - i'm looking for really yummy dinner recipes that are very cost-effective. During the week it's mainly me and my 7-year-old and I'm sick of spaghettios, hot dogs, and chicken nuggets. Hubby is home on weekends but I get tired of making the same things every weekend, not to mention the cost of groceries sometimes makes it difficult to have the "standard" meat, potatoes, veggie, bread dinner! TIA

recipes
We are going to a family reunion this weekend and I'm looking for some new ideas for something to take. Not anything too complicated since I work full time at home with 4 kids plus mother-in-law and 2 extra family members will be here tonight from Arizona and staying with us. Can be anything - dessert, side, main etc. Just having a hard time coming up with anything really yummy to feed a big group. Have lots of chicken in the freezer so maybe something down that line. Thanks!!
Why would you want recipes when
you find disgusting? That is very strange.
Looking for recipes for...
microwave candies or relatively foolproof stove-top or oven methods, preferrably ones that have been tested. I typically bake and decorate iced cake-mix cookies and make up gift boxes for neighbors, friends, the mailman, etc., but candies would be a nice addition...fudge, divinity, pralines, nut brittles, killer brownies or anything else you may have in your repertoire would be appreciated.
Found some recipes for you :)

many many rotel recipes
go to the below link and enjoy. Ro-tel is a wonderful addition to almost any recipe.
http://www.texmex.net/Rotel/main.htm
Also for an added idea take a brick of softened cream cheese and pour some mexican Ro-tel on and serve with chips. Also add some cooked ground sausage to the Velveeta with Ro-tel.
Rotal adn Velveeta are staples in my home and I live in WA and I can buy it at any major grocery store.
HAVE A GREAT HOLIDAY!!!!
Northpole recipes
I just received an email with some Northpole recipes. I thought I would share.
I was given this link:
www.northpole.com/kitchen/cookbook
have fun!
Lots of recipes at
foodtv.com Everything you ever wanted.
cooking/recipes
Is there a cooking or recipes board available - just curious.
Any recipes/ideas for
leftover roast, besides stew!
Tripe recipes
If you're really interested in tripe recipes there are some in Maya Angelou's cookbook. I haven't tried any of them so I have no idea how good they are.
bread recipes
Would the kind lady who posted her bread recipes please reply to me, even if it is my private e-mail address, with the recipes that she had for 4 loaves of bread. My hard drive crashed and even though I copied the recipe to my word expander, I was not able to print it out.
So, where's those cookie recipes?
Go ahead flood the board with cookie recipes. I can handle it.. I can bake every one of them, while I am listening to one dictator flip pages, and the other pausing..c'mon give me whatcha got. But seriously, I need some new ideas for the kids because pop n fresh dough holiday cookie cut outs. PS: See, I am finally getting in the holiday spirit.
No recipes here, just wanted to say...
 Glad you're gettin' in the spirit and feeling better!
Leftover ham recipes?
I had a big spiral ham Christmas Eve buffet but too much other food and a large portion, over half, not touched. I never leave my food out long, asked everyone if they were sure they didn't want more, put it in the fridge with intent to send some home with them but they had so many cookies, etc., to take that they didn't take any. I am going to a party tomorrow and wondered if along with what I am bringing, should I grind some ham up and make a ham salad to be put on nice crackers or rolls? I don't want it to look like I'm pushing leftover ham from Christmas but it will only be the 6th day and it's only the two of us here, so I hate to waste it. I'm not sure if I should just skip the idea or use it up. I don't want to look like an old cheapo.
Yummy Recipes
I bought two Foster Farms Chickens, on sale, not over $5.00, well I got three meals out of those two chickens, cut each up for frying the best parts, made chicken soup with the less desirable parts, back, etc. adding my last frozen pack of tomatoes from DH garden last summer, and other veggies, bow tie pasta, sprinkled with fresh chopped parsley and parmesan, Yummie. The other two packages, one will be oven fried chicken, recipe on breadcrumb container and the other from my Campbell's Soup Cookbook, something or other. Not bad for the price!
anybody have any good dip recipes
I bought a couple bags of those cornchips called scoops. Last night I made guacamole but now I've got 1 and 1/2 bags of chips left. Anyone have any good ideas of things I could use them for?
New dinner recipes
Hey all........I am sitting here (before lunch) thinking what the heck I'm going to make for dinner....I am sooooo tired of making the same things, week after week.....anyone have any new, easy dinner recipes?? Maybe your same-old will be new to me!
There are a lot of recipes for microwave
fudge floating around. I don't have one but the ones I have eaten are very good.
fudge recipes
Thanks for all the good recipes. My mother used to be the "queen of candy making" until she got Alzheimer's but I never wrote down her recipes if she ever had one; and of course could not remember how she made it or the variations - she just "winged it" and I stirred it because she had severe arthritis in her hands. Thanks for sharing!
Need some Xmas goodies recipes..
Looking for recipes to make some fairly easy yet yummy Christmas goodies for gift giving. No heavy baking or long recipes please. Stuff along the lines of snack mixes, that powdered sugar "puppy chow" (I think that's what it's called lol), etc. Stuff that can be made in large batches ahead of time and not needing refrigeration. There are so many great cooks out here..so this is the first place I thought of to get some great ideas. Thanks ahead to all who respond!! :)
Anyway cook using Rachel Ray's recipes? sm
I'm always looking to try something different and her 30 minute meals sure look tasty and easy.
I love her recipes, but WAY too many ingredients
I had a bunch of her books but ended up selling them on ebay cuz I never had all the ingredients on hand and didn't want to spend a fortune getting them.
Try this site...you can mix and match the different recipes.... : )

Anyone got good low-cal doggie recipes?
I'm looking for both snack and meal recipes for an older dog that's kind of sedentary but LOVES to eat. I'm convinced the food at the grocery store is either highly caloric or filled with a bunch of junk.
Thanks for your suggestions!
Recipes for a newlywed game!!! SM
Hey gang. I've been reading all of your posts about different recipes. I've been married about a year and a half and I'm sad to say that I only have about 10 meals that I know I can make. My problem is...I'm just not creative enough to think up of different things. So, I thought not only as a helpful tool for me, but also for others, could you please post your "go-to" meal for either breakfast, lunch or dinner and lets see how many recipes we can share with each other. Thanks so much and I'll start...
My favorite thing to make for dinner is beef stroganoff. I take about a pound of tenderized stew beef and about a 1/4 pound of mushrooms and brown them in a pan. Then I add two packages of McCormick stroganoff mix (I get mine from Safeway) along with 10 ounces of sour cream. I cook this down until it is nice and thick. Then I pour it over egg noodles! SOO SOO SOO good. Pair it with some garlic bread (my husband's specialty) and you're good to go!
Now...lets see what else we can come up with to help each other out (especially me...lol).
Thanks ladies!!!
Check Oprah for dog food recipes
She had a repeat show on this week about dog training and dog food recipes. She also had an author on, referencing his book on wholesome foods for pets. I would check her website out for sure. I know we have been scared for our dogs after the recent pet food scare. Our vet previously had recommended feeding our dogs plain hamburger and rice. They love it, but we don't feed them that all the time.
Ideas and recipes all sound good...
Now I have to make up my mind which to try tonight! That is a nice dilemma to have.
I need recipes for pretty, fruity, fun drinks
or coffee drinks. My sons, their dates, and two other couples of coming to our house tonight after the senior prom. They plan to play Dance, Dance Revolution and watch movies on the big screen. Of course, they asked me about it only an hour ago! I'm happy to have the kids over, but wish I had a little time to plan. I will stay up when they are here and will make them breakfast. I have one of those waffle makers that you see at hotel breakfast buffets, so they will have waffles and other breakfast goodies, but I thought it would be fun to serve them some pretty drinks in some of my fancy glasses that I never use. Nonalcoholic, of course! I think I'd like to make up two pitchers, something fruit-based and something coffee-based.
Does anyone have any good recipes?
