Lemon Pepper chicken and rice
Ingredients:
1lb of chicken breast fillet or boneless whole
1/2 c butter (melted)
Lemon pepper seasoning
1c uncooked basmati rice (or whatever kind you like)
2 c water
Preheat oven to 350
Pour melted butter into 8x8 dish. Season chicken to taste with LP and put in dish. Cook covered for 20 to 30 minutes until almost cooked
Cook rice on stove top in 2 cups of boiling water for 20 mins. Add LP and salt for extra flavor if want.
Remove chicken from casserole dish and add in rice, mixing with butter left in dish. Place chicken on top of rice and cook uncovered about 10 more minutes or until chicken is done
VOILA!
Preheat oven to 350°.
In a large cast iron skillet, brown beef over medium to medium-high heat, breaking up any large chunks. Once beef is browned, remove it to a plate with a slotted spoon. Discard beef fat and then add butter to the pan. Once butter is melted, add the onion and garlic. Stir to incorporate. Cook until the onions are transparent and nicely softened, about 6 to 10 minutes.
Add cream of mushroom soup, soy sauce, Frank's RedHot Sauce, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir to fully incorporate and then cook until the mixture is warmed and bubbling, stirring regularly. Add sour cream, half of the parsley and thyme, and the salt and pepper. Stir to incorporate. Then stir in the frozen vegetables. Level mixture out in the pan. Then top with frozen tator tots. Place pan into the oven and bake for 20 minutes. Remove pan from oven and sprinkle evenly with cheese and plenty of freshly ground black pepper. Place pan back into the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes. Then place pan underneath the broiler for a few minutes, until tator tots and cheese are browned to your liking. Remove from oven and sprinkle with remaining parsley and thyme. Serve hot. I like to eat mine with ketchup or Frank's RedHot Sauce, or a mixture of these two condiments.

edited for another question: I had a roommate in college from New Ulm, MN who spoke of something called, "cookie salad." Is that a real thing?!
And yes. Cookie salad is real too.

Good thing tomorrow is grocery shopping day.
2. Um, we have all kinds of sweet salads and jello salads in the south! @mrsallikat, your H has clearly forgotten ambrosia, jello molds, apple salad, etc.
Here's my basic curry recipe:
1 onion, diced
2-3 carrots, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 jar green curry paste (I like it spicy, add less if desired)
3 or so cups veggie, chicken, or shrimp stock
1 15 oz can coconut milk
1 tsp-1 tbsp fresh minced ginger, to taste
2 tbsp-ish chopped cilantro
2 bay leaves
Plain Greek yogurt
Olive oil
Other "filler" ingredients, include any as preferred:
1 russet potato, diced/chunked
1 head cauliflower/broccoli, small florets
1/2 cup green lentils
Shrimp
Chicken
In about 2 tbsp olive oil, sauté onion and carrots about 5 mins until soft. Add garlic, ginger, curry paste, cook until fragrant--1 min or so. Add coconut milk and stock, stir, bring to boil. Add potatoes/cauliflower/lentils, cook until soft (time depends on texture desired: 10 ish mins for cauliflower and broccoli, 30 ish mins for lentils).
If adding chicken, chop into bite sized pieces and add, cook through. If adding shrimp, cook 3 mins until pink.
Remove bay leaves. Top with cilantro and yogurt. Can serve over rice also.
I've also added chopped bell peppers too, just added in the beginning with the onions and carrots.
Here is my recipe that I am renown for:
White chicken chili
Crock pot – 6 hours cooking time, on low- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, thawed (I use 3 chicken breasts and it makes a more meaty soup, it’s up to you)
- 1 can whole kernel sweet corn, undrained
- 1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 can Rotel, spice level of your choice – I usually use Rotel Original
- 1 packet Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing dry mix
- 1 tbsp cumin seed
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 2 green peppers, chopped finely
- 1 8oz block of plain cream cheese (you can use light if you want to be healthy, but who does that?)
____________________________________In a separate bowl, combine the corn, black beans, rotel, dry mix, spices and peppers, stirring to combine the spices with the liquid and vegetables. In the bottom of the crock pot, place the chicken breasts and pour the mixture over the top of the chicken. Place the cream cheese on top of the mixture, but do not stir it in, just set it on top. Turn the crock pot on low for 6 hours cooking time. At the end of the 6 hours, pull the chicken out and shred it with two forks. Once complete, stir the chicken into the soup, making sure the cream cheese is stirred in evenly also. Serves 6-8, though you probably won’t want to share.

Can't wait to make this.....except for the cilantro because cilantro is the worst thing to ever exist.
Ingredients
Directions
These are the brownies I mentioned in Friday Check-in. I sub crushed (no need to crush too finely) mini-eggs for chocolate chips.
Double Chocolate Brownies
adapted from Robin Robertson, 1,000 Vegan Recipes1 cup all-purpose flour
¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
1¼ cups sugar
½ cup vegan margarine (try Earth Balance)
¼ cup water
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
⅔ cup vegan semi-sweet chocolate chips (try Ghirardelli—Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips-- SEE NOTE AT TOP)
Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly oil an 8-inch square baking pan and set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, cream together the sugar and vegan margarine until light and fluffy. Stir in the water and vanilla and blend until smooth.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring to blend. Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Scrape the batter into the oiled baking pan and bake until the center is set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 40 minutes. Let the brownies cool for 30 minutes before serving.
*** Side note- Ambrosia salad (marshmallows and all) is a salad that a lot of my old-school family from up here in Ontario love. They were into lots of jello mould salady things... so it's not just the south! We had ambrosia salad at Christmas dinner and it was about the only thing my stomach felt like consuming.
