By popular request, a chit-chat thread for my extended family & friends on SD.

Welcome everyone. A lot of you have been telling me you miss having friendly talks so here we are in my own little campground at SD. Come on in, pull a chair or a stump up to the campfire, and stay a spell. hug

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.

Wave Good morning, Blynk. I hope you're feeling better and got a good night's sleep. Hug2 Flowers2
A little late responding but thank you and actually I had a wonderful night's sleep first in a very long time. Feeling much better! Blowkiss

I also requested those cards so we'll see if they come, they do I'll send them to you as I won't use them. Thanks for the info on your company, my dad has always been a loyal consumer I doubt he'd drive a vehicle from any other company. Wink Hope your day has gone well and your evening goes even better. Love

I called Ana and she sounded good. Her performance for the seniors went well too. Flowers2

I called Janet and there was no answer other than voicemail. Sadwalk






Blynk - thanks for your well wished and ordering the deck of card for me. Kiss

Claudia - I envy your ability to be able to travel. It looks like my trip for the year is falling apart despite having won those two airline tickets. I'm facing the loss of taxes on the tickets being cheaper than going. Job losses, pay cuts, and so on are taking the wind out of the sails on a trip before June 30th when the airline tickets expire. Sadwalk

Karen - how are the critters doing on the farm?

Lindy - I hope you made it through work today and your worries are less. We're here for you, sweetie.

FD - I always enjoy your posts and hope things are better. You're like rays of sunshine on a cloudy day. You warm the spirit and brighten things up.

GG - I hope things have calmed down. Made any friends? How's the extended family?

PC - I hope you are well. How's your sister? Have you been up to any trouble lately?

Springfield - Sad news - if you don't already know - Speedway no longer gives rewards points on coupons. I'm so bummed. Annoyed I did well with some coupons today using free and $1.00 off wyb coupons. Making money on free items is a SD. Greedy

LLoyd - I hope you have a pleasant surprise and find your PSP.

Froggy - Nice to have you stop by more. wave

Steller - Thanks for being so nice to all of us in here.

SB - miss you

OGG - Hugs and well wishes, friend.

Lori - I admire you. What more do I need to say.

Lori & Snavem - I'm still saving Sobe Life Water labels, but I have the new bottels and shrink to fit labeling.

Havaack - Good luck on the job hunting front. I wish you well, but that's one club membership I don't want to have in common with you. Nothing personal of course. May things get better for you and Springfield very soon.

Bottle caps around my building are hardly worth the effort any more. Not finding many and when I do, they are not worth much when entered.

Rain over night. Rain

Grouphug Hugs and warmth to you all and appologies to those not named.
