OLD CLASSIC FASHIONED GOULASH
1/2 lb macaroni
1 1/2 lbs ground beef
1 large onion, diced
garlic salt, pepper, chili powder, & hot sauce to taste
2 (14.5 oz) cans whole stewed tomatoes, undrained
2 tablespoons ketchup
Tomato juice as needed

Cook the macaroni to al dente according to package directions. While it’s cooking, brown the ground beef and onion together in an extra-large skillet or in a dutch oven. Drain and season with spices to taste. In a large bowl, mash tomatoes with potato masher and add to beef along with the ketchup. Drain macaroni and add to the beef mixture, stirring well. Taste and add additional seasoning as needed. I didn’t need to add any tomato juice to mine, but if you like yours very juicy you can add as much tomato juice as you like. Phyllis adds it to her leftovers, which I would also recommend, because the noodles tend to soak up all the juice with time.

A box of Angel Food Cake ❤ mix (just the contents of the box, no need to follow the directions on the box), and combine it with a 20 ounce can of crushed pineapple in its own juice. (No need to use a mixer, just stir it by hand) When you do this, something magical happens. The mixture starts to froth and it turns into an amazingly airy, fluffy bowl of deliciousness right before your eyes. Once it’s all mixed up, simply pour it into a 9 x 13 baking dish and bake it at 350 for 30 minutes.

Broccoli & Cheese Soup Slow Cooker
Ingredients
5 cups chopped broccoli florets about 16 ounces
1 cup grated carrots, you can grate yourself or use bagged, pre-cut julienne carrots
1 medium yellow onion finely diced
3 cloves garlic minced
2 ounces reduced fat cream cheese do not use fat free
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
2 1/2 cups reduced sodium chicken broth or vegetable broth
1 can 2% evaporated milk (12 ounces)
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
8 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, grated* (1 block)
Instructions
Place the broccoli, carrots, onion, and garlic in the bottom of 5-to-6-quart slow cooker. Top with the cream cheese, oregano, nutmeg, and chicken broth. Stir to evenly distribute the ingredients. Cover and cook on high for 2 hours or low for 4-6 hours, until the broccoli is tender.
Remove the lid and stir in the evaporated milk. With an immersion blender, puree about 3/4 of the soup, so that it is mostly smooth but still has a few chunks of broccoli remaining. Alternatively, you can puree the soup in 1 cup-sized batches in a food processor or blender. (Be careful—it's hot and prone to splatter!)
Recover the soup and let cook on low for 10 minutes until warmed through. Stir the salt, pepper, and grated cheese. Taste and add additional salt and pepper as desired. Recover and cook on high until the cheese is fully melted and the soup is hot, about 5 additional minutes. Serve warm.

𝐋𝐄𝐌𝐎𝐍 𝐆𝐀𝐑𝐋𝐈𝐂 𝐁𝐔𝐓𝐓𝐄𝐑 𝐂𝐇𝐈𝐂𝐊𝐄𝐍 𝐀𝐍𝐃 𝐆𝐑𝐄𝐄𝐍 𝐁𝐄𝐀𝐍𝐒 𝐒𝐊𝐈𝐋𝐋𝐄𝐓

INGREDIENTS YOU NEED FOR THE LEMON GARLIC BUTTER CHICKEN AND GREEN BEANS SKILLET

3 – 6 skinless, boneless chicken thighs
1 pound (450g) green beans, trimmed
3 tablespoons butter, divided or (ghee for paleo diet)
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon salt and fresh cracked black pepper
Juice of 1/2 lemon + lemon slices, for garnish
1/2 cup (125ml) chicken stock
1 tablespoon hot sauce (we used Sriracha)
1/4 teaspoon crushed red chili pepper flakes, optional
1/2 cup fresh chopped parsley
DIRECTIONS

1. To make the lemon garlic butter chicken thighs recipe with green beans: In a small bowl, combine onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Season chicken thighs generously with the spice mixture. Set aside while you prepare green beans.

2. Arrange green beans in a microwave-safe dish with 1/2 cup (125ml) water. Cook in the microwave for 8-10 minutes, until almost done but still crisp.

3. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Lay the seasoned chicken thighs in one layer in the skillet. Cook for 5-6 minutes then flip and cook another 5-6 minutes, until cooked through and a cooking thermometer displays 165°F (75°C). If chicken browns too quickly, lower the heat. Adjust timing depending on the thickness. Transfer chicken to a plate and set aside.

4. In the same skillet, lower the heat and melt the remaining tablespoon of butter. Add chopped parsley, garlic, hot sauce, red crushed chili pepper flakes, and pre-cooked green beans and cook for 4 to 5 minutes, stirring regularly, until cooked to your liking. Add lemon juice and chicken stock and reduce the sauce for a couple of minutes, until slightly thickened.

5. Push green beans to the side and add cooked chicken thighs back to the pan and reheat quickly. Adjust seasoning with pepper and serve the lemon garlic butter chicken thighs immediately, garnished with more crushed chili pepper, fresh parsley, and a slice of lemon if you like. Enjoy!

A delicious tomato sauce.
I posted this pic last night and I have been asked for the recipe. Took me about 20 minutes to pull dinner together and it was as always delicious. I hope you make it and I know you will love it.
You’ll only need-
•1-28oz can whole plum tomatoes crushed with your hands
•1-tbs butter
•1/4 cup chopped onion
•1-garlic clove sliced
•2-tbs olive oil
•5 basil leaves plus more for serving
•1-tsp salt

1-add the oil to a large skillet medium heat add the garlic and onion sauté for a couple minutes be sure not to burn the garlic.
2-add the tomatoes, butter, salt and 5 basil leaves
3-once the sauce begins to bubble stir and lower to a simmer un covered for 15 minutes stirring along the way

Always add sauce to a skillet and move your prepared pasta from the water to the sauce, toss for 2 minutes to marry the pasta with the sauce. Finish with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and some fresh basil
