Tuscan White bean soup http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/giada-de-laurentiis/tuscan-white-bean-and-garlic-soup-recipe/index.html

Beef Enchiladas

1 lb ground beef, browned and drained

1 (7 oz) can El Pato Salsa de Chile Fresco sauce 

1 (8 oz) can tomato sauce (for extra spicey, omit tomato sauce and use 2 cans of above)

1 tsp cumin

1 tsp paprika

10 - 12 corn tortillas (taco size)

10 - 16 oz Shredded Cheese

Mix sauces and spices in a bowl, and set aside. Warm the tortillas in the microwave for 30-60 seconds until flexible.

Spray a 9x13 rectangular baking pan with oil. To assemble the enchiladas, place tortilla in the pan, fill with a spoonful of beef, sauce mixture, and a sprinkling of cheese. Roll the tortilla up with the open side down. Repeat until pan is full. I usually do 12 total - 8 down lengthwise, an two sets of two on the side of the pan. Spread the rest of the sauce mix over the top. Sprinkle with cheese.

Heat in 350F degree oven for about 30 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the middle is hot.

NOTE: the sauce is spicy, taste before mixing. If you prefer less spicy you can substitute more tomato sauce or use canned enchilada sauce instead.

Pierogies and Kielbasa http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/grilled-pierogies-and-kielbasa-recipe/index.html?oc=linkback

Parmigiana Chicken Sandwiches
4 Tyson Chicken Breast Patties
4 hamburger buns
Mrs. Dash Italian Medley (or similar Italian seasoning)
Kraft Parmesan Cheese
Garlic Salt
Butter
4 (1/2 inch) slices of fresh mozzarella cheese
1 cup Marinara Sauce
Olive Oil
Coat cookie sheet with olive oil. Sprinkle patties with Mrs. Dash and parmesan cheese. Place patties on cookie sheet and cook in oven according to package directions for oven.
Meanwhile, butter buns and sprinkle garlic salt on them. Toast using toaster oven or in oven with patties. Warm marinara sauce.
When patties are cooked, assemble sandwiches: place patty on bottom bun, place cheese slice on patty. Spoon sauce on cheese then place top bun on. Serve immediately.

Shepard's Pie
1 pie shell (just bottom part) dotted with fork (optional)
1 cup left over pot roast, shredded or chopped
1 cup frozen mixed veggatables
2 cups left over mashed potatoes
1 cup left over pot roast gravy
Oven at 350 bake shell 1/2 way - about 8 minutes. (If you prefer a crust-less pie, just omit the crust and butter the pan.) Then arrange meat on bottom, sprinkle in veggatables, spoon over gravy. On the top, spoon over the mashed potatoes. Bake until hot and top is browning on edges.
