Jan. 17th - 23rd

I had a few repeat recipes this week but will print the new ones for everyone!

GRANDMA'S STEAMED CHICKEN

This is one of my favorite meals that brings back such sweet memories. The smell alone takes me back to running around my Grandma's house with my cousin while Grandma made this meal.

1 lb. Chicken thighs or legs
2 bell peppers sliced
8 C. water
1 tsp. pepper
2 tsp. salt
Cooked white rice

Place all ingredients (except rice) into a large pot and bring to a boil. Reduce hit to simmer for another 20 min. Serve chicken, peppers and little of the juice over the rice. My boys always add the soy sauce and debone the chicken to eat.

BEEF & BARLEY SOUP
(This one calls for the crock pot!!)

1lb. Stew Meat
1 C. chopped mini carrots
2 stalks diced celery
1 small chopped onion
4-5 diced red potatoes
1 can Beef broth
1 can Chicken broth
2 cans water
1 Tbs. A-1 Steak Sauce
1-2 tsp. Salt
1 tsp. Pepper
1 tsp. Thyme
1 C. Barley (NOT instant!)

Brown meat in frying pan with 1 tsp. oil. Do NOT fully cook! Just enough to brown on all sides. Place ALL ingredients in the crock pot on high for about 6 hours.


CHICKEN TETTRAZINI

My BF Becca suggested this one and when I make it, I NEVER have leftovers!!

2 C. leftover roasted chicken (The Rotisserie chickens from your Deli are great!)
2 Boxes Tuna Helper Tettrazini flavor
1 C. frozen peas
1 C. sliced fresh mushrooms

Follow instructions according the the box for OVEN preperation. Add all ingredients EXCEPT the peas. Add the peas the last five minutes and mix in well.


YUMMY CHOCOLATE CREAM PIE

1 C. sugar
1/3 C. flour
2 C. Whole milk
2 (1 oz.) squares Bakers Unsweetened Chocolate
3 egg yolks
2 TBS. Butter
1 tsp. Vanilla
1 Ready Made Pie Crust baked and cooled

Prepare pie crust according to directions and cool completely. In medium saucepan, combine Sugar, Flour, milk and chopped Bakers squares. Place over Med. heat and stir with a whisk. When mixture begins to bubble, stir constantly for 2 min. and then remove from heat. Have egg yolks in a separate bowl. Scoop out 1/4 C. of chocolate mixture and pour into egg yolks. Mix immediately to prevent yolks from cooking. Once thoroughly mixed, add back to pan. Place back on heat and begin stirring well and cook again for 1 min. Pour into pie shell and place in fridge. Once cooled, add whipped topping and chocolate shavings for a pretty garnish.
