this is my mother-in-laws recipe. they are SUPER yummy, really easy, and fairly cheap to make. for a little more flavor i either boil them in chicken stock, or cook them in the oven with a little salt, pepper, and garlic powder. you can also shred a store bought rotisserie chicken. i usually add more cheese than called for, and sometimes i mix regular jack with pepper jack cheese. i use one can of regular green chili enchlada sauce, and one jar of really good green salsa, pica de gaillo, orsalsa verde. it definately add alot of flavor that way

my husband is the biggest meat eater ever, but CONSTANTLY requests this meatless dish. it seems like alot of vegetables (about 2 cookie sheets) and sometimes i even add a little more than called for, but they really shrink down. make sure to use a good quality parmesan, as it is a key flavor component.





Pasta Primavera:


3 carrots, peeled and cut into thin strips


2 medium zucchini or 1 large zucchini, cut into thin strips


2 yellow squash, cut into thin strips


1 onion, thinly sliced


1 yellow bell pepper, cut into thin strips


1 red bell pepper, cut into thin strips


1/4 cup olive oil


Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper


1 tablespoon dried Italian herbs or herbes de Provence


1 pound farfalle (bowtie pasta)


15 cherry tomatoes, halved


1/2 cup grated Parmesan





Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.


On a large heavy baking sheet, toss all of the vegetables with the oil, salt, pepper, and dried herbs to coat. Transfer half of the vegetable mixture to another heavy large baking sheet and arrange evenly over the baking sheets. Bake until the carrots are tender and the vegetables begin to brown, stirring after the first 10 minutes, about 20 minutes total.





Meanwhile, cook the pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water until al dente, tender but still firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain, reserving 1 cup of the cooking liquid.





Toss the pasta with the vegetable mixtures in a large bowl to combine. Toss with the cherry tomatoes and enough reserved cooking liquid to moisten. Season the pasta with salt and pepper, to taste. Sprinkle with the Parmesan and serve immediately.

you can use any nuts you like, really. i used mixed nuts the first time, but now i'm going to just use pecans and cashews. you will probably need to go to the bulk section of your store. make sure the nuts are roasted, but not salted.





Rosemary Roasted Mixed Nuts:


1 1/4 pounds mixed nuts


2 tablespoons coarsely chopped fresh rosemary leaves


1/2 teaspoon cayenne


2 teaspoons dark brown sugar


2 teaspoons kosher salt


1 tablespoon melted butter





Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.


Place the nuts on an ungreased baking sheet and bake for about 10 minutes until they are warmed through. Meanwhile, combine the rosemary, pepper, sugar, salt and butter in a large bowl. Toss the warm nuts with the rosemary mixture until the nuts are completely coated.





the rosemary will smell really strong, and you might think you've used to much, but don't worry it's just the right amount. make sure to use fresh rosemary, dried will not work for the proper effect.

Sorry, not a lady, but I have a meal set that will keep you changing things up for a little while. Tyson makes a sleeve of frozen chicken patties (you can get yours at walmart, or even the walmart brand). So lets use that as our base...





--Add swiss cheese and ham-Chicken Cordon Blue


--Add a table spoon of pizza sauce and mozzerella-chicken marinara


--Add ranch and bacon-YUM


--Add bbq sauce and some american cheese


--Add buffalo sauce on one side, and blue cheese or ranch on the other


--Add Alfredo sauce





There are a lot of ideas, there are some to wet your whistle the entire sleeve of chicken, and you can come up with others. Hope that helps.
