My easy chicken cacciatore recipe with onion, green pepper, stewed tomatoes, wine (optional) and oregano

INGREDIENTS:
1 cup chopped onion
1 cup chopped green bell pepper
2 medium cloves garlic minced
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 cans (14.5 ounces each) stewed tomatoes
2 teaspoons dry oregano
2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper, or to taste
4-6 chicken breasts cut up to bite size
3/4 cup dry red wine

PREPARATION:
Heat olive oil over medium heat in a large skillet.
Brown chicken on all sides.
Remove chicken and drain off excess grease, leaving a tablespoon or two.
Add chopped onion, green pepper, and minced garlic to hot skillet; sautuntil onion is tender.
Stir in tomatoes, wine, oregano, salt, pepper.
Add chicken back to sauce and bring to a boil.
Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for about 20 minutes.
Serve with hot cooked wheat spaghetti or any other pasta you like.

It should serve about 6 or 4 very hungry people LOL

If you like it on the spicey side, you can substitute the
2 cans (14.5 ounces each) stewed tomatoes for
1 jar of Classico Spicey Tomato & Pesto pasta sauce and omitting the wine.

Bon Appetit. Hope you like it.

Omlets In A Bag

Ingredients:
One or Two or three Eggs
precooked Bacon pieces (canned, bottled, or from a previous meal)
ham (sliced lunch meat, cubed, or other)
precooked sausage pieces
shredded Cheese
onion - diced or minced
green or mixed peppers
salt
pepper
other seasonings
diced fresh tomatoes
sliced fresh mushrooms
other toppings you might like

Method:
In a sandwhich sized Ziploc bag, pour in one or two or three eggs (no shell!).
Add shredded cheese, bacon, onion, whatever you like and seal the bag removing as much air as possible.
Squish the ingredients to mix (milk or water not needed - use sparingly if you do).
"Burp" the air out.

Recommend that you double bag. Slips with names or pieces of packaging can be put in between the bags so you can tell whos is whos. Everyone can make their own - exactly as they like. This gives everyone something to do too.

Gently Drop in a pot of boiling water.

Boil 3 min-1 egg, 4 min. for 2 eggs. 5-6 minutes for 3 eggs.
"test" the baggie - the more toppings you add you may need more time. You can not over-cook them (generally) and they will not brown/burn unless the pot boils dry.

Open bag & roll omelet onto plate. YUM!.

You can top with more shredded cheese or toppings and serve.

Little clean up (if any).

Perfect fluffy omlets without over-cooking every time. It's the only way I make omlets now. At home or camping - very easy and it involves everyone. You can make/cook lots of them all at the same time too.

Taco Tot Casserole

1lb lean ground beef
1 - 1.25oz pkg taco seasoning mix (or more to taste)
minced onion if desired added to meat
1 - 15oz whole kernel corn, drained
1 - 11oz can nacho cheese soup, undiluted (or chedder or southwestern or other soup)
frozen tater tots (regular size, mini size, or popcorn potato)
shredded cheese (sharp cheddar, monteray peper jack, mexican blend, taco, or other(s))
salsa (opt)
sour cream (opt)

Preheat oven to 375.

In a skillet cook beef until brown. Drain. Stir in taco seasoning mix and add water, cook as directed on package of taco seasoning. Spoon meat mixture into an un-greased 2-quart casserole dish. Spread soup mixture undiluted over meant. Spread drained corn over beef. Spoon undiluted soup, if using two soups, over corn. Spinkle shredded cheese over top. Arrange tater tots in a single layer over this.

Bake for 40-50 minutes or until bubbly and potatoes are lightly browned. If desired, serve with salsa and sour cream.

Yield: 5-6 servings.

We like to mix up the soups and cheeses and often do. Onion flavored tater tots work great, the smaller ones are better than the larger.
Tonight I made it with McCains popcorn potato and it was great.

Extra packing?
My 32" feels like it weighs a ton.
According to the DHL site, weight is as reported by the shipper and may be more or less than actually reported. The invoiced amount will be for actual weight shipped.

So - I still don't know. Dontknow I just have to wait until it arrives. Sadwalk I just hope that they don't require signiture on delivery. I had it shipped to my parent's house hoping that they would be home when delivered. Now I'm thinking that I also need to hope they HEAR the driver knock AND that they stay home until delivery happens. laugh out loud


"Note on weight

The weights displayed on this website are the weights provided when the shipment was created. Actual chargeable weights may be different and will be provided on the invoice."

But it could get worse if you don't take them. True story. 4 yrs ago when I lived in Oregon, I picked up a stray cat. It was acting all cute and lovey.When I got him/her half way to my face it started biting the shit out of me EEK! I threw it down when into the house and started to clean the bites. It bit my left hand pretty bad.I was using peroxide and neosporin. That night my hand swelled up bad. I went and showed my brother and he said go the DR. I don't like DR's either, so I kept putting it off. About 5 days later I could not stand the pain anymore.My brother took me to the hospital and they said I had to have surgery. Turns out the cat was Feral. I had to have 4 surgeries. I was really lucky I didn't loose my hand. As it is now,from the infection that was in it.It ate all the flexor muscles in my index finger, I can't move it. It justs sticks out all the time LMAO Eventually I will need to have it cut off, As I can't tuck my pockets in etc, It's hard to do things when you can't move your finger, But I'm not ready to face that yet EEK! When this happened I had no insurance, I owe over $40,000 just for picking up a cute little cat. I wish now I would of listened to my brother and went in right away
