.spinach cheese swirls.

The yummy and simple recipe was found in my 5 ingredient recipe book. I added chicken to this recipe, which made it a bit more hearty. Im sure adding some other stuff would also be nice :) The prep time on this recipe was my favorite, took practically no time at all! (vegetarian)



Ingredients
1 tube (10 ounces) refrigerated pizza crust
1 package (10 ounces) frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
2 cups (8 ounces) shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
1 cup finely chopped onion
1 garlic clove, minced
Chopped chicken (optional)

Preparation
On a lightly floured surface, roll pizza dough into a 14-in. x10-in. rectangle. In a large bowl, combine the spinach, cheese, onion and garlic; spoon over dough to within 1 in. of edges. Roll up jelly-roll style, starting with long side; tucks ends under and pinch seam to seal.

Place seam side down on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Bake at 400 for 25-27 minutes or until golden brown. Cut into slices.

.bbq beef biscuit bake.

Chopped onion

.tuna sandwich.

We are big on tuna in the Schneider household and this is by far our new favorite way of eating it. Instead of using bread I bought the biscuits that come in a can. Make sure to buy the "flakey" ones so they come apart really nice. I also like to make the sandwiches quickly after the biscuits come out of the oven so they are nice and warm.



Ingredients
*Add each to taste and consistency of your liking.
Tuna
Mustard
Mayo
Celery chopped
Relish
Onion chopped
Pepper
Garlic powder
Shredded cheese to sprinkle on top

.tikka masala.

These 3 fabulous ingredients were given to me by my lovely friend Alisha. She new of my love for tikka masala and brought these over so I could see how easy it was to make. In addition to these ingredients (all found at your nearest fresh & easy) I added some chicken and poured it all over steamed rice :) So tasty! To make I just followed the directions on the back of the package, such a quick meal for only $5 or less (not including meat). Plus the hubby said its his new favorite :)

.cheese soup with wild rice.

This amazing recipe was given to be again by my mother-in-law. She put together a recipe box for my hubby and I with all his favorite recipes :) I changed the recipe a bit by adding some broccoli and regular white rice in addition to the wild rice. Also, I do not add bacon when I make it, just to make it a bit healthier. However, I am posting the original recipe, so feel free to add bacon, broccoli or whatever you please, just have fun with it! Also, since it is a crock pot recipe its perfect for those busy days! Super tasty with beer bread :) Mmm mmm good!





Ingredients
1 jar or bag crumbled bacon
1-2 onions, chopped
1 lb. Velveeta
3 c milk
2 cans cream potato soup
2 cans cream chicken soup
1/2 c washed raw wild rice
2 chicken breasts, grilled with garlic powder (depending how long you cook you can put in raw)*optional

Preparation
Put all ingredients in crock pot and cook on low for several hours until hot. Or simmer until hot over the stove. (I will add the broccoli in the last 30 mins or so :)

.ranch potato salad.

This is another recipe out of my fabulous magazine, 5 ingredients or less. I made this for a pot luck to celebrate my friend Kim's birthday. My first pot luck where I actually made something, instead of just running to the store and buying something! The hubby loved this and devoured the leftovers which we actually reheated and turned it into a warm mashed potato side dish. Also, I have never boiled potatoes before..and apparently if you boil them for too long the skins fall off. opps!




Ingredients
2 pounds red potatos
1 bottle (8 ounces) ranch salad dressing
1 cup (4 ounces) shredded cheddar cheese
1 package (2.8 ounces) bacon bits
1/4 teaspoon pepper
dash garlic pepper

Preparation
Place potatoes in a large saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 20-25 minutes or until tender,

In a large bowl, combine the remaining ingredients (dressing will be thick). Drain potatoes and cut into cubes; add to the dressing and gently toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours or until chilled. Refrigerate the leftevers.

.ginger iced tea.

This is my absolute favorite drink as of a week ago. I know many of you have probably tried something like this before but if you haven't please do! I discovered this recipe in a" taste of home" magazine. I am loving this magazine because it has hundreds of recipes that only have 5 ingredients! This magazine was given to me by my thoughtful mother-in-law, she has been very helpful in my new adventure in cooking by giving me more recipes than I know what to do with. Its very exciting :) Look forward to many more posts that are 5 ingredients or less, pretty amazing!

I cup iced tea mix with lemon and sugar
4 cups water
2 liters ginger ale, chilled
Ice cubes

Preparation
In a pitcher, combine the iced tea mix and water, refrigerate until chilled. Just before serving, add ginger ale. Serve over ice. (Makes 3 quarts)
