1 can black beans
1 jar of salsa ( we use mild but can use whatever you like) 2 cups of frozen corn approx 2 cups of cooked chicken shredded or cut up shredded cheddar cheese for top. Drain beans then mix the first 4 ingredients together in a bowl and transfer to casserole dish. Sprinkle however much cheese you want on top. Bake in oven for approx 25 mins. Delicious, quick, easy, and we all like it. good for leftovers too. |

Zucchini (the round ones work best)
Rice Cut up and seasoned chicken Peppers Little bit of tomato sauce Mixed cooked rice and cooked chicken with the peppers and tomato sauce. Stuff into zucchini rounds. Sprinkle with olive oil and sea salt and stick in the oven for 20 min. I also tend to put some cheese on mine to melt in the oven |

leftover cooked rice (you can use leftover takeout rice)
garlic, minced soy sauce scallions eggs Beat the eggs. Fry until you have a thin omelet- or pancake-type egg. Remove from skillet and cut into strips or else dice. Saute the minced garlic (I usually use a couple of cloves). Add the rice to the skillet and warm through. Add soy sauce to taste and mix until thoroughly distributed. Add the cooked egg pieces and the scallions (chopped) and mix. Easy to add lots of stuff to this depending on what you have in your fridge/pantry: pieces of cooked shredded/diced chicken or beef, other cooked veggies like peas, corn, broccoli, snow peas, etc. |

Butter, chicken (or salmon), lemon, fresh sage
Make thin medallions of chicken or salmon. Brown in butter until chicken is nice golden brown (salmon cooked to taste, but I prefer rare, cooked on the outside). Make a chiffonade (essentially chopped) of sage, add about 3/4 and cook about 30-60 seconds until the sage is nicely wilted. Plate the meat, either individually or on a serving platter, pour the excess butter and loose sage on top. Squeeze one half of a lemon over all the meat. Cut the other half into quarters for people to squeeze a little more on to taste. Sprinkle remaining sage over meat. The wilted sage adds flavor when eating. The raw sage will add a wonderful aroma when it gets lightly heated from the meat. |

Ingrediients:
Brown Rice, chicken breasts, italian dressing, asparagus and fruit Steam some brown rice (we have a rice steamer) Keep portions small Marinate chicken breasts in Italian dressing (the longer the better- but I have done it for less than 5 minutes when in a pinch- which is most of the time) Cook on 350 for about 35 minutes (flip the chicken ne time while cooking) Cut off the ends of the asparagus put in a pantoss with some olive oil and salt- cook at 350 (in with the chicken) for about 15-20 minutes Add fruit and/or another veggie (I try and get as many colors on my plate as possible) Usually I will do a combo of pineapple, strawberries and blueberries - but it just depends on what I have on hand. An alternative to the asparagus is spinach - toss with some crushed garlic olive oil and maybe a touch of salt and garlic powder- cook on 350 for 7-10 minutes (my 8-month old loves this - minus the salt) |

Mujadara - it can be made many ways, but the three base ingredients are rice, lentils, and carmelized onions.
Google around for various recipes - spices can be more Indian or more middle eastern in nature, depending on your preference. But this is amazing, and it's good either as a main dish or as a side. |

Frittata
5 eggs splash of milk onion frozen spinach cheese not counted as part of my five: oil, salt and pepper Whisk together eggs and milk with some salt and pepper. Saute the onion in a little oil then add the spinach (other veggies are just as good, and a little spicy sausage or bacon is awesome but not necessary). Pour eggs on top, sprinkle with cheese. Cook on the burner until eggs are mostly firm, then put under the broiler for a minute or two to lightly brown the top. We do a variation of your bean recipe too but without chicken and served over rice. It's also a favorite here. |
