Tuesday: Chicken salad croissant sandwiches and broccoli cheese soup
Soup:
1 onion; chopped
2 T. butter (I actually use a little less)
6 c. water
6 chicken bouillon cubes
8 oz. pasta
1 tsp. salt
2 (10 oz.) pkgs. chopped frozen broccoli
1/3 tsp. garlic powder

Saute the onion in the butter. Add water and chicken bouillon cubes; heat to a boil. Add pasta and salt. Boil for 3 minutes. Stir in frozen broccoli and garlic powder. Cook for 4 minutes. Add milk and cubed cheese. Stir until cheese is melted.

Chicken Salad:
2 cooked chicken breasts; cubed
Mayo and few squirts of mustard ( I use reduced fat mayo--tastes the same to me). I combine it in a cereal bowl until it is pale yellow.

pinch of dill

I serve it on croissant bread with lettuce.

  1. I got the recipe for your Catalina meal from your mother-in-law ages ago!! We call it Mexican Salad and do not use pasta!! A favorite at our house! I like mine with black olives and sour cream...I'm bad, I know!
    Your hamburger casserole is like Jon's Grandma Harding makes but we use green beans. I was just thinking this week of fixing that! Yum!! I should try it with corn as Matt likes corn better than green beans!

  3. I find myself coveting the craft rooms as well, (and the ability to craft in my case). I'm so glad i decided to meander over to Tina's blog and check to see if you updated...had you ever! :) Now i'm sitting here coveting your organizational skills of planning meals :) No really, i'm going to have to steal some of your recipes and try them around here. Now, get on your sister and get her back to blogging! ;)
