Shake n' Bake Wings
Day 4, Week 11
Unlike the shake n’ bake fish, the chicken version is quite delicious! And this time my sister was here so she showed me the error of my ways… apparently only 1 piece of chicken goes into the bag at a time! Yes, my friends, the looser that I am, I put all of the meat into the bag at once and wondered what was ‘great’ about this!
Ingredients:
chicken wings
Shake n’ Bake
chicago chicken seasoning
herbs
Guidelines:
Season chicken wings with the chicago chicken seasoning and your choice of herbs
Follow the directions on the Shake n’ Bake package… very simple, fill the bag with the mixture, then place one wing at a time in the bag and shake!
Then bake until the wings are fully cooked
Served with fries and biscuits

Lamb in Creamy Mushroom Sauce
Day 3, Week 11
It’s been one of those weeks, where I just don’t feel in a particularly ‘domestic’ mood, and as such I am making dishes that take less than 15 minutes preparation time! This dish was unexpeditly tasty, albeit kinda weird!
Ingredients:
1 can condensed cream of mushroom soup
lamb pieces
paprika
herbs
Guidelines:
Season the lamb with paprika, your choice of herbs, salt and pepper to taste
Add in the cream of mushroom soup and mix well
Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit in a glass baking dish, covered with foil, for about 1 1/2 hrs or until fully cooked
I served with rice and carrots.

Paprika Gnocchi
Day 2, Week 11
Until about 2 weeks ago, when I discovered it at the grocery store, I had no idea what Gnocchi was… yes, I can be kinda ‘fobby’ like that! It’s apparently a well-known Italian dumpling-ish dish.
You can see the professional way to make it or you can just buy the frozen version at the grocery like I did! 
I just followed the directions on the package and then put it in a medium saucepan with butter, paprika, garlic powder, salt, pepper, mixed herbs, and grated cheese.

Kebabwiches
Day 1, Week 11
I mentioned before that I don’t eat processed foods, well frequently anyways… So I don’t really like the idea of giving the kids hotdogs, although I do give it to them on occasion. I needed to find a substitute and came up with easy kebabs! The 4 year old LOVED it!
Ingredients:
ground chicken (or other meat)
lemon pepper seasoning
paprika
chopped spinach
cilantro
bread crumbs
1 egg
Guidelines:
In a mixing bowl, combine the meat with an egg and the bread crumbs (1 cup of crumbs to 1 lb of meat)
Add in the chopped spinach and cilantro, mix well
Add in the paprika, lemon pepper seasoning, salt and pepper to taste
Roll the mixture into hotdog-like shapes
In a saucepan on medium heat, add some oil and once hot, cook the kebabs until golden-brown
Remove kebabs and bake in the oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 30 minutes or until the meat is completely cooked
Add to hotdog buns and serve with steamed veggies
