Easy Key Lime Pie

I found this recipe on Cooks.com. It is so easy and really, really good! Would make a great dessert for St. Patrick's Day.

Easy Key Lime Pie

1 pkg. cream cheese (at room temperature)
1 14 oz. can Eagle Brand sweetened condensed milk
1/2 Cup lime juice
1 8 oz container of cool whip
3-4 drops of green food coloring

Mix the ingredients with a hand mixer and pour into a 9 in. graham cracker crust. Refrigerator for about 3 hours before serving.

HINT: Tell the kids it's green and disgusting so they won't want any and you can have it all for yourself! Ohhhh...and then hit the gym like you've just begun your New Year's Resolution.

Cheesy Chicken & Rice

This is a great recipe for busy days. It takes very little time to throw together and I always have these ingredients on hand. Plus it's yummy!

Cheesy Chicken & Rice

3 cans cream of chicken soup
1 1/2 cups water
1 1/2 cups regular long grain rice
1 Cup cheese
6 chicken breast halves
Paprika
Pepper

In 9X13 pan mix soup, rice water and cheese. Put chicken on rice mixture (you don't have to cook it first) Sprinkle chicken with paprika and pepper. Bake at 375 for 1 hour or until chicken is no longer pink.

Hamburger Vegetable Casserole

This is similar to a meatloaf only with a great sauce and lots of hidden veggies. My kids really love it. My 7 year old just barely realized that it has vegetables in it. Of course, she is my veggie lover so she was happy about that. (I actually have to hide the celery if I need to use it for a meal or she will eat it all!)

HAMBURGER VEGETABLE CASSEROLE

Meatball mixture:

1 lb. hamburger
2 grated carrots
2 grated potatoes
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup bread crumbs
2 eggs
1 tsp. salt
pepper

Sauce:
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1 can cream of chicken soup
1 can milk


Combine ingredients for meatball mixture. Make medium size meatballs and fry a little until browned and balls hold together as well as possible. Put meatballs in a casserole dish and pour sauce over. You can also add cheese. Bake at 350 for 1 hour. This is also a great recipe to freeze for later.
