This Friday at Ginny's House

Just wanted to remind everyone that we will be gathering at my house at 9:00 am this Friday, July 10.  I will be getting meat prep assignments out to most of you today or tomorrow.  If you will please bring those and any large bowls and other kitchen tools you feel might be helpful (Jenna, will you bring your electric can opener?), it would be much appreciated.  I am looking forward to it!

Chicken Pot Pie

 Cook frozen for 1 hour or until crust is browned and sauce is bubbly.

Taco Salad

Warm up mixture on stovetop (add diced tomatoes at this point if you want them warmed).  Serve on top of Fritos and garnish with olives, sour cream, cheese, chopped tomatoes, shredded lettuce, etc.

Ranch Chicken and Rice

 Place chicken and sauce in crock pot, cook all day on low.  Serve over prepared rice.

Lasagna

Cook frozen, covered at 400 for 1.5 hours

Honey Mustard Chicken

 Thaw in fridge and move chicken around periodically to marinade.  Grill as desired or bake in oven for 12 minutes on foil-lined and sprayed baking sheet (can roll in bread crumbs or croutons to make more like chicken nuggets).  I like to make additional sauce for dipping.  (¼ cup each brown sugar and OJ concentrate, 1 T. each Dijon mustard and honey)

Ham and Creamy Potatoes

 Thaw, Cook at 350 for 1.5 hr

Sloppy Joes

 Heat through and serve on hamburger buns.

Chicken Fajitas

Cook meat and veggies in skillet. Add to tortillas with sour cream, salsa and cheese.

Pot of Gold

Thaw and heat sauce.  Serve over prepared egg noodles.

Stromboli

 Thaw and let rise.  Brush egg yoke over top of dough prior to cooking.  Bake at 375 for 25-30 min.  Let stand 5 min then cut on angle. Dip in marinara sauce if desired.

Italian Chicken

 Place chicken and sauce in crock pot, cook on low 6-7 hours. Serve over prepared egg noodles (also good over rice).

Teriyaki Marinade

Thaw in fridge, working marinade around chicken periodically.  Grill as desired.

Pulled Pork

 Combine pork and BBQ sauce and heat in sauce pan or crock pot. Serve on hoagie rolls.

Enchilada Casserole

 Bake frozen, covered at 350 for one hour or until bubbly. Remove cover for last 5-10 minutes to brown cheese, if desired.

Caesar Chicken Casserole

 Thaw. Top with crushed croutons and bake at 350 for 30 minutes or until topping is browned and casserole is bubbly.

Manicotti

Manicotti – Bake at 350 for an hour or until hot and bubbly.

Pulled Pork

Same as last time

Teriyaki Marinade

Thaw in fridge. Grill until meat is no longer pink.

Philly Cheese Steak Sandwiches

Thaw in fridge. Cook meat slices, peppers and onion all at once. Stir the mixture lightly as it cooks. Cook until meat is no longer pink and onions are clear. Be careful not to overcook the meat as it will make it tough. Salt and pepper the mixture to taste. Lightly toast hoagie buns. Let the heat from the meat melt the cheese, or put each sandwich in the microwave for 20 sec.
