Spaghetti Chicken

My first “new meal” was Spaghetti Chicken, Chicken Spaghetti, ...I've done this once before, but the other recipe called for lots of Velveeta cheese and it just didn't taste right to me. This one wasn't too bad, but I'm definitely changing something’s up next time. Spaghetti noodles ~8oz Chicken ~2 cups Cream of chicken ~1 can Cream of mushroom~1 can Rotel ~1 can Sour cream~ 8oz Cheese Mexican blend or Parmesan Pre~heat 350 degrees. Boil pasta, drain. Mix all ingredients together except for cheese, add pasta. Bake in 9X13 dish covered with foil for 30 minutes or until hot and bubbly. Sprinkle with cheese, return to oven till melted. First off I used wheat noodles, they are healthier and I like them better. Then, I cut up two chicken breast pieces. I cooked them over medium heat with olive oil and diced onion before mixing it with everything else. Skipping this step can sometimes cause your meal to cook longer. Instead of Mexican blend cheese I used Taco seasoning cheese blend and mild Rotel. My husband liked it just fine…my son did not…I don’t think he liked the Rotel or the Taco cheese so next time I won’t use the Rotel and I will just use regular mixed cheeses, I was trying to prevent the spaghetti from being too bland…I also added shredded Parmesan with the blended cheese. I did not cover it with foil which allowed for some crispiness to the top of the spaghetti bake, which I liked. Worth repeating with a few minor changes…

Let's get started

Whenever I sit down to plan out the weeks menu I ask my husband the same question, and seem to always get the same response..."Is there anything you want me to make for dinner?" "I don't care whatever you want." Not the response I want to hear...I did once hear him tell me to get on Pinterest and find something...I'm tired of cooking the same things over and over! There are a few things I don't mind eating regularly, but for the most part I want something new! I figure between the internet and my collection of cookbooks and friends I should be able to find some new food. I don't want this to be one of those never make the same meal twice 352 days of the year blogs. Honestly, I'm not going to cook 352 days of the year, I like left overs and there may be a meal or two that we like that I'm going to repeat. What this is going to be is a collection of recipes. I like things that are easy and don't take much time to prepare and don't cost me a small fortune trying to buy all the ingredients. So I have picked out three recipes from Pinterest this week, I have a friend that either really likes to cook or is just saving them as back up so I've been fishing through her collection this morning. I've got my grocery list...let's get cooking!
