While my babes were out playing in the snow and I was thinking how warm my non-frozen butt was...see
past SNOW post! I found a great recipe in my
Kraft Foods magazine! If you don't get this magazine - you need to. The cover price is $4.95 but if you sign up online it is COMPLETELY FREE! The recipes are so good and the whole premise is that you can make great recipes from ready-to-eat, semi-prepared groceries.
So, I found a great recipe that would be easy, quick to prepare while watching my 2-year old bounce off the walls and something that I could keep warm while the snow bunnies played without the fear over overcooking.
It is called
Shipwreck Dinner and this is what you do....
Brown 1 lb of lean ground beef and drain.
Add a box of Mac n' Cheese dinner (unprepared) noodles and powdered sauce
Add a can of stewed tomatoes (I used Italian diced tomatoes) with liquid
Add 1 cup of frozen peas
Add 1 cup of milk
Bring to a boil then reduce heat and cover.
Let cook for 12 minutes or until noodles are cooked.
Sprinkle 1 cup of mozzarella cheese on top and let melt.
Everyone loved it! That's always a good thing!
Check out that Kraft Foods Gig! I save every single issue with my cookbooks! It is a phenomenal resource!!

Will keep you updated on Julian as soon as I have today's news.
Will shout from the mountain tops when that agent says..."sign on the dotted line!"

Hmm....shipwreck dinner. I'll have to remember that name as I'm sure it'll be the next "mystery in a ziploc baggie" contest.

We had snow, too, but it was too powdery for snowmen. I'll have to check out that website. I'm always looking for quick, easy and kid friendly. Thanks!
Let me know when the agent calls I'll shout from my mountain top!
I get those magazines too. I don't use all the cream cheese or salad dressing that their recipes call for but there are some yummy dishes in there.
Just don't try making the chocolate candy cane cookies from December's magazine. Let's just say ours didn't look like candy canes. I think I'll have to post the pictures on my blog.
