Canned tomatoes are very versatile
Not bad with cubed tofu, either. Also, what about vegetarian lasagna, eggplant parmesan, vegetable soup. More recipes are here, some vegetarian, but you can always substitute ground turkey or leave out the beef.

If do beef first, sauce should have more of a beef

Love canned tomatoes!. Here are some ideas.
Put some frozen bean and cheese burritos in cassarole, pour tomatoes (doesnt matter if they are any flavor or not) over them, add cheese on top and bake at 350 til hot and cheese melted and brown. Or mix with chicken broth, chicken, cumin, pepper flakes (optional), other fave spices and make mexican chicken soup. Top with strips of toasted tortillas. Cook shredded chicken in tomatoes with fave mexican spices and serve on tortillas for mexican chicken rolls. Again, doesnt matter if called Italian tomatoes, will work with anything.
Roast Beef and Sauce in Crock Pot
Any kind of roast, but works well with eye roast. You can pan oil quick fry it to seal in moisture, but I have cooked this without pan searing as well.
Stir together, 1/2 cup soy sauce, 2 tbsp ground garlic, 1/4 cup of oil, 4 tbsp vinegar, and about 1 tsp of ground ginger.
Pour over roast and cook in the crockpot. Depending on the size, I would do high for a while, and then down to low. About 8 hours or so. I've made this both in the crockpot and in the oven, so time varies. 
I've used canned tomatoes in tossed salad in the wintertime...
because I can't stand the plastic tomatoes they sell out of season in the store. I also use them in tuna salad, chicken salad, etc. In summer, we grow our own, but for winter the canned ones are great, especially the petite-diced.
I would do pasta salad (I make mine with Ranch and chicken!)
dip for the chips, cheesecake and some kind of potatoes, maybe on the grill?
I've given dry + canned + cubed skinless chicken breasts.
Snacks have been:
1. Generic "beggin' strips" like you.
2. Cheese bits, but little or no other dairy.
3. Now and then (expensive), dried chicken strips that have glucosamine & chondroitin for joints. Otherwise, I use a powder with G & S that says it also adds fiber. A couple of tbsp of this mixed in their food per day.
The chicken I add is one breast between two dogs AM and PM, so they each get one whole chicken breast per day (skinless, removing any fat). I also let them lick the two baking dishes whenever I fix the chicken. Now and then they also do the dinner dishes in order to save on our hot water bill. They're such good kitchen help I've been trying to get them dishwasher jobs, but the only restaurant that was interested didn't offer benefits. :)
Someone posted a recipe for baking chicken in bbq sauce and Italian dressing... SM
Does anyone have that recipe? I am making chicken tonight and need something that I can throw together and stick in the oven while I'm working. I haven't cooked in a couple of days and the natives are getting restless for a home cooked meal!

Got a creamed dried beef question. Do you find it best to saute the dried beef in the butter and
then add all the rest or do the cream part first and then add the dried beef at the end. Seems like both ways are in the recipes and just wondered which gets the best.
pineapple chunks, cloves, and coke.

It says the bacon is cooked and drained.
I almost missed that part, too - reading too fast.
My dad told me that I got the chicken pox from playing in the chicken coop. I believed him for years

Purulent foul-smelling brown liquid was drained...
(during a paracentesis).
Thank you! Actually, the fried chicken is chicken strips sm
breaded and fried that I make from scratch. Yes, I buy the 5 pound bag from Sam's club, fry it up and then toss is with my mom's famous teriyaki sauce cut into small, bite sized pieces. With 5 pounds cut up I can make well over 120 pieces. No big deal! Thanks for your suggestions!
It was wheat from China.........sm
News was that China sprays some of their wheat with a rodenticide and somehow, this spray was on the wheat they shipped over to Canada. I just can't believe the Canadian company didn't check the wheat first BEFORE it went into the food.
Pasta and peas...
When I'm in a bind, like tonight, I take 2 jars of Bertolli alfredo sauce, add a little white wine and garlic powder and a little milk to stretch it, add frozen baby sweet peas and some ham, sometimes I get sliced and sometimes I get a ham steak. Let it cook a little and toss with linguine, top with parm, get a bag of salad and you're good to go. yummmm
I warned you about the pasta
No pasta or beans. More meat. The poo should be much less than with dog food. My dog likes peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and vanilla wafers for treats. Hang in there. You will have a customized diet for your dog in no time, just keep watching the poo and keep adjusting.
That's interesting. I wonder if you have a wheat allergy
as well as being sensitive to milk products.
Pasta Express = junk...sm
Took longer than boiling pasta in a pot, and it came out gunky or undercooked the few times I tried it. The clear plastic container is a nice tall flower vase now.
I looooove Cream of Wheat! thanks for sharing nm

I practically live on pasta salads. (sm)
Warm or cold. Often I start out as dinner, with just-cooked rotini or something similar, add chicken, tuna or tofu, steamed veggies, olives or artichoke hearts, maybe some almonds or sunflower seeds, tasty dressing, and it's good hot for dinner, and cold for other meals. Lasts for several days, takes no talent to make, and yummy!
I've cut out pasta and never gave beans.
PBJ's?? I know she likes peanut butter but thought it was probably bad for her.
So now I have a diet of hamburger-rice and PBJs. She's gonna have to fight me for the food dish!
Free sample Cream of Wheat hot cereal
Thought you might like to know.
I love Mix N Match Pasta for summer meals
Just boil up a big batch of tricolor rotini pasta and add whichever of the following that appeals to you, or whatever you happen to have on hand.
Chicken, tuna, ham, shrimp, crab meat
Celery, carrots, onion, green peas, mushrooms
Ranch dressing, Italian dressing, mayonnaise, Miracle Whip
It's a great "clean-out-the-refrigerator" meal!
I put the egg and cheese in a whole wheat or veggie wrap with some cooked spinach

I switch between soy saugage on whole wheat english muffin and yogurt or
fresh fruit with yogurt and Bare Naked granola. Coffee of course.
I haven't had Cream of Wheat in years. Think I'll give it a try again. nm

Anything canned
Paper products, plastic cups, utensils, toliet paper, diapers, pads, sunscreen, baby wipes for sponge baths, etc. There may be no way to wash dishes.
Water. Fill up your tub and all trash cans so you can flush your toliet.
Bleach... You can't have enough bleach
Brand name trash bags. Wet stuff is heavy.
Lotrimine or anti-fungal cream.. walking in wet stuff..
Soda. They give out ice eventually. Everyone ends up with more ice and water bottles than they know what to do with. Soda is great if the smell of mold makes you sick.
Drink mixes, if you get MREs they all don't come with kool-aid LOL.
Canned fruit, cups of fruit, applesauces, granola bars, chips, cookies, cereal, anything from the processed cereal and snack areas! Granola mix is great!!!! Crakcers and pb are filling too.
Canned meat like tuna and chicken.
Fresh fruit until it goes bad.
Cleaning supplies, with no power the mold gets really bad.
Fabreeze or something to spray your gross clothing with!
ENTERTAINMENT. There is so much waiting.
Canned Food
Have you tried him on mostly canned food rather than dry? Wet is better for cats than dry, particularly CRF cats.
What to do with canned tomatos
I have bought canned tomatos for something which didn't work out. Any ideas so they don't go to waste (p.s. - we don't eat beef). They are S&W tomatoes with italian seasoning. Would it just be too bland to serve them over some cooked pasta? I'm not the most creative cooks and have been known to burn water. HA HA
Don't buy the canned ones. They are gross.
Last year we bought a bag of potatoes, and didn't use them before they started to sprout. Then I baked all of them and froze them in freezer bags. Took one out of freezer and thawed in microwave when we wanted one. Delicious. I just put butter on mine.
Pasta primavera, Oriental stir fry with tofu, potatoes and eggs, quiche and salad. nm

BBQ sauce
simple - sweet baby ray's
not so simple - To start: 1 can of tomato sauce, a little bit of molasses, a little bit of brown sugar, a little bit of onion powder, a little bit of garlic powder, a little bit of dried mustard. Then try, depending on your taste: a little bit of liquid smoke, a little bit of honey, a little bit of beer, or a little bit of whiskey. Not all together, though, just try some stuff. Good luck!
tomatoes
I planted tomatoes in my regular garden and then decided to try an earthbox for planting a cherry tomato plant. WELL, this thing grew up at least 8 feet and was growing onto my roof. I finally put in some hooks on the overhang of my house and these things just keep growing and growing. I must have already picked at least 300 of these tomatoes and there are still more there. Now this is strange but my dog also seemed to like them and has nibbled off the ones that were on the lower branches. Also planted some peppers in this earthbox and it is doing extremely well.
Tomatoes
Sorry about my not spelling tomatoes correctly. I graduated from the Dan Quayle school of spelling. 
I saw a recipe for oven dried tomatoes that sounds good with olive oil, sea salt and garlic. Yum.
canned air not bad for environment today...
Fluoroethanes don't have chlorine atoms. This means they aren't CFCs, and thus they do not deplete the ozone layer. No offense, but unless you have information these dusters contain chlorofluoroethanes (not likely as these have been phased out for quite some time now) or that fluoroethanes are proven to have some other harmful effects, you really need to think before spreading misinformation. By spreading this misinformation, you are giving (knowledgeable) environmentalists a bad name.
Canned meat - the spinach of Dog
(nm)
Mac n Cheese with canned tuna
I know it sounds gross, but it is totally awesome!
Also, a great next day meal for left over pork chops: Pork Fried Rice (my way lol)
Cut the pork chops up in pieces. Cook enough rice for however many are eating, and then in a skillet put a little bit of oil and cook a couple of eggs (I do one per person). Scramble them up and then take them out and set them apart in a bowl. Add a little more oil to the skillet, and throw in the rice. Stir it around for a few minutes, and then add salt and pepper, some terriyaki sauce, and half a bag of frozen mixed veggies (green beans, corn, and carrots). Stir this around until the veggies are thawed but still a little crisp. Add the egg back in and stir it all up. If you have sesame seeds throw those in.
Oh and don't forget to put the pork back in!
That's one of my hubby's faves that I make.
Sorry, did you mean Maul's BBQ sauce? nm

I have a bag of beef
strips and one of chicken strips, both made in China - do you know if the stores are giving refunds or anything? Thanks!
Where's the beef?
That is what I think that cute little doggie is thinking. My dog Misty likes to look at dog pictures on the internet and she finds him (or her) most attractive and she is mesmerized by that food can. Sometimes I let her watch the dog videos on U-Tube when we are bored. My husband thinks we are crazy, but he thinks it is funny watching Misty watch the other dogs. She even barks back if they bark, they are like virtual doggie playmates!
Beef!

Tomatoes gone wild
I have planted 4 tomato plants that have gone crazy. They are crowding out other things and the cages are barely holding them up. I would like to try to transplant them to another area. Anyone have experience with this with a fully grown tomato plant? They already have some tomatoes and lots of flowers. I am planning on starting this afternoon by pruning back many leaves and stems that are not fruit bearing yet.
Yes, canned food is very good for cats SM
I give my 3 cats one can a day. It has water in it, so it keeps them well-hydrated. My cats love the new Meow Mix wet food. They have been eating it for a year without any problems at all.
