What you cooking today
I need to go the the store today to get groceries so I am at a loss of what exactly I will cook but I know it will be chicken..lol.. I will post a recipe in a bit when I decide what I will be making.. hmmm.. I am making spag. for tommorrow at grandmas.. that takes me all day.
Spagetti
1 pound ground beef
1 package of hot italian sausages.
1 pound of steak cut in small pieces
4 cans of diced italian style tomatos
2 cans of stewed tomatos
1 large can of tomato sauce
3 gloves of garlic
bunch of italian seasonings.. you preference..
can of sliced olives
Mushrooms (cut bunch to taste)
I also dice up a few tomatos in there myself.
(if you want to make it easier.. instead of stewed tomatos and tomato sauce use on jar of ragu).. does cut the time a bit.
Brown meat. Combine all other ingredents. put meat in and simmer for 4-6 hours. My family doesnt like meatballs so I dont make them.. you can add meatballs if you like. I wish i could..
serve with you choice of noodles, spaggetti squash. etc..

2/3 cup reduced sodium chicken broth

1/4 cup sugar free apicot jam
2 Tablespoons fresh lime juice
2 teaspoons grated lime zest
salt and pepper to taste
1. heat the butter in a large heavy saute pan over medium heat until the foam subsides. Add the hens and cook, turning once for 5 minutes per side.
2. Add the chicken broth, wine, jam, lime juice, lime zest, salt and pepper to the casserole and bring to a boil. Partially cover the pan, reduce the heat to low and cook for 15 minutes, or until the hens are cooked through. Serve Immediately.
