My favorite "recipe" is just something I throw together... Melt 1 TBS of butter in a saucepan, add a tsp of minced garlic and some bacon bits - saute. Add a can of spinach, and let simmer for awhile. Add a couple of handfuls of shredded cheese (any kind works) and stir well. YUMMY! I don't know nutritional values, but I'm sure it's high in iron!

Hi Lea...everyone.... One Pan Indian Roasted Chicken with Potatoes General Category : Main Course Food Group : Poultry-Chicken This one-dish wonder is perfect for a chilly autumn evening.

I sure wish I had something to add but I'm recovering from gallbladder surgery and feel yucky.

I love peanuts. I also love having a wheat tortilla with either ham/turkey/chicken with cheese for my breakfast in the mornings on the way to work. It's very easy to prepare and eat on the road, plus I get a good amount of protein in first thing in the morning....that's on top of having 16 oz. of milk while I'm getting ready for work.
