Yummy pork ribs!

If you haven't tried Jane's ribs, just wait! They are sooo tender and sooo yummy! Definitely a meal that I will want to make again!!! Thanks Jane!

Sorry I skimped on the soup!

I have to apologize about the amount of soup I gave all of you. We had the soup I made the other night and it probably wasn't enough for some of your families. I'm sooo sorry! I won't let it happen again!

Change to Spaghetti Casserole

I decided not to cook it. I think it will come out too soft. So you will need to completely thaw it and then cook it for about 45 mintues to an hour. Take the foil off the last 20 minutes. Also I left the clear lid underneath the tin dish so that it was more sturdy...do not forget to take this off before cooking!! Love ya.

Extra Chicken Flautas???

I ended up with an extra chicken flautas so if you are missing that meal from collette, please let me know. -Tami

Chicken Soup and Corn Muffins

Hey ladies, the soup is fully cooked, just reaheat. I usually add egg noodles but did not this time (for obvious reasons) so if you want to just cook some on the side and add in once you've reaheated the soup, that should work out fine (you may just want to add a little milk or water to thin it down).

Corn Muffins:
Place dry ingredients in a bowl. In a separate bowl, combine 3/4 cup milk, 1 egg, 8 tsp. oil, and 4 tsp. melted butter and mix well. Add wet mixture to dry mixture, just until blended. Pour into prepared muffin cups, filling about half full. Bake 18-20 minutes at 350°. (if they brown on top, they've gone too long). Yields: 10 muffins.

ravioli or tortellini

I made some homemade red sauce for these frozen pre-made tortellini or ravioli's. Just cook pasta as directed. Heat up sauce in a pan. Spoon a little sauce over the pasta and add cheese as desired. (mozzarella or Parmesan) We had this last night with a green salad and everybody loved it.
Sauce:
sauteed onion
garlic
diced tomatoes(italian style)
tomato sauce
italian seasoning
salt pepper
a little sugar
simmer for a few hours on low

Chicken Flautas

I made Chicken Flautas this month. I guess it is the month for mexican food. They should be pretty easy to put together. Hope you enjoy.
Thaw in refrigirator over night. Heat meat on stove top or in micro. Soften corn tortillas in microwave. Put a heaping talbespoonful (or 2 if desired) of meat in warm tortilla, roll up tightly. (Can insert toothpick to close before frying.) Fry in hot oil on both side; top with sour cream, salsa, and guacamole. My family also like refried beans with this meal. I usually add a little cheese and taco sauce to the beans to spice it up a bit. Enjoy your fiesta!
