Italian-Style Meatloaf
I am trying this meatloaf tonight since it looked a bit easier than the one I usually make.
1lb. ground chuck
1 small finely chopped onion
2 cloves chopped garlic
1 cup tomato sauce
1/4 cup fresh parsley (I didn't have this)
1 large egg
1 tsp salt (I left this out since I thought the Worcestershire sauce would probably have plenty)
1/4 tsp fennel seeds (didn't have this either)
1 cup cooked rice
I added some bread crumbs and a couple Tbs of Worcestershire sauce
1 - preheat oven to 350
2- Combine all ingredients with your fingers in a large bowl. Do not over mix.
3- Pat into a 8-by-4 inch loaf and place on lined baking sheet. Bake for 1 hour and 15 min or unil thermometer registers 160 and meat is no longer pink.]
Let stand 10 minutes before slicing.
Do you have a favorite meatloaf recipe? I'd love to hear about it.

Dutch Baby with strawberries and cream cheese topping = Yummo!
I bought a huge amount of strawberries last week and I was trying to figure out what to do with them all. So I perused some recipes and combined a few ideas. It turned out awesome!
I started with a Dutch baby. To me it tastes like a thick crepe. We usually make one at least once on the weekend sprinkled with cinnamon and powdered sugar.
Heat oven to 400. While oven is heating place 9x12 glass pan in oven with a stick (or T less) of butter so that the butter melts.
Mix 1 cup flour, 1 cup milk, 1/4 cup sugar, 4 eggs, a sprinkle or so of cinnamon, a t. of vanilla. (Check on butter. Take it out of the oven when it is almost all melted.)
Pour batter into pan.
Bake for 15 minutes
Sift some powdered sugar on top.
This alone makes for a tastey treat.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I had already sliced up a bunch of strawberries and put 2-3 T of sugar on them so that they were making a nice syrup.
Next I took 1 package of cream cheese, a 1/4 cup or less of sugar, a dallop or so of plain yogurt (optional) and whipped until smooth.
I spread this mixture on the puffed pancake (Dutch Baby) and spooned the strawberries on top. Oh it was Heavenly.

Chicken Ole
Chicken Ole Crock pot or 40 min in a 350 degree oven
This is a dish that my sister-in-law and her mom made for us soon after my daugter was born. It was so yummy! I had to have the recipe. This is one of my favorite crock pot recipes for chicken but I often make it in the oven because I don't plan well enough in advance. So I turned it into one of my favorite quick chicken breast recipes.
-one cooked whole body chicken, in bite size pieces. Cook a whole body chicken on the stove with an onion by bringing cold water to a boil and then simmering it on the stove for 1 1/2 hour-2 hours. (I have boiled 2-3 breasts and then shredded them. Much faster and easier. I have also had baked chicken on the first night. Then the next boiling the remaining chicken and taking all the meat off.)
-12 corn tortillas, torn up in bite size pieces (I have used flour when I didn't have corn- works very well also)
-mix together a part of a small can of mild green chilie salsa (to taste), 1 can of cream of chicken soup, 1 can of cream of mushroom soup, one small container of sour cream (I think it's 6 oz) I use light. I often substitute plain yogurt for the sour cream and it comes out just as great.
layer the chicken, cream mixture, and tortillas. I do about 6 or 9 layers
cook on low for about 4 hours
You might also like this chicken breast dinner or this chicken and stuffing dish. I make them both about once every month or so. I am always on the lookout for easy chicken dinner recipes. If you have any go ahead and comment or put your link in the comment box.
