1 stick melted butter
1 cup self-rising flour
1 cup milk
1 cup sugar
1 can of any fruit, I usually use peaches - the 30 oz size -- drain about 1/2 juice

Melt butter in large casserole or baking dish. Mix flour-sugar and milk, will still be a little lumpy and thin. Pour into melted butter. Add peaches (just pour in). Bake at 375 for about 45 minutes or until golden brown. Great with ice cream or just milk, while warm. Instead of peaches, your can use a large can of any pie filling, apple, cherry etc. People will think you worked hard on it. Sometimes I use a few chopped nuts or coconut on top, before baking.

1-16 oz. package of cole slaw
2 packages of Ramen noodles - beef flavor
2 bunches of scallions, diced into ¼" slices (use green tops also)
1 cup slivered almonds
1 cup sunflower seeds

Brown seeds in 400 ° oven for 5-10 minutes. Check so they don't burn. Pound noodle packs to crumble them and to separate them. Mix cole slaw, onions, noodles, almonds and seeds in large bowl.

DRESSING Mix 1 cup oil (vegetable or Canola), 1/3 cup white vinegar, ½ cup sugar and contents of the 2 flavor pouches from the noodles. Whisk thoroughly and pour over salad. This is crunchier and best when first made, but it lasts a long time and is still good days later.

1 large package Mahatma red beans and rice mix
1 large onion diced - or package frozen chopped onions
1 pound or more any variety smoked sausage - like Hilshire Farms - cut into pieces - can have the meat guy at the market slice it for you.

Combine all ingredients in a large casserole dish and follow the microwave cooking directions on the Mahatma package. Serve with a salad or vegetable, maybe some crusty French bread and a bottle of Tabasco sauce for those that like it hot.

dash of pepper
2 tomatoes (cut into half inch cubes)
parmesan cheese

Cook spaghetti. In another pot melt butter and then add the shrimp, green pepper, onion, garlic, salt, oregano, and pepper. Cook 7 minutes or until shrimp are pink and green pepper and onion are cooked. Add spaghetti to the shrimp mixture, and toss to mix all the ingredients together. Remove mixture from heat, add the tomatoes, stir to mix. Cover and let sit for a minute or until tomatoes are heated. Serve after sprinkling with parmesan cheese.

and the rest of the recipes...

5 large cloves of garlic
2 cups of sour cream or thick yogurt or a mixture of both

Blend the garlic and 1/3 cup of sour cream/yogurt in food processor or blender until the garlic is thoroughly blended - do not over-process yogurt, it turns to liquid. Fold the mixture into the remaining sourcream/yogurt, being sure to keep your head back so you don't inhale the fumes. Let stand in refrigerator for several hours.

SERVING SUGGESTIONS: drizzle over any cooked vegetable, dip breadsticks into it, dip french fries into it, marinate almost any meat in it, pour it over almost any cooked meat. In fact you can use this sauce with any food except chocolate, though we may try it soon.
NOTE: IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT YOU DO NOT EAT THIS SAUCE BEFORE GOING ON A JOB INTERVIEW, MEETING THE MAYOR OR GOING ON A FIRST DATE.

potatoes-washed and diced or run through any type of food processor that slices, dices or juliennes. About 6
olive oil
garlic-one clove for every 6 potatoes
thyme- 2 tsps. of fresh for every 6 potatoes- use considerable less if using dried
parsley-small handful of fresh-about 1 tbls. if using dried for every 6 potatoes
rosemary-1/2 tsp. of dried
salt and pepper-to taste

Cut up potatoes and put in hot skillet with olive oil, add all ingredients and cook to desired doneness. Serve for breakfast, brunch or toss in left over meats for a fast dinner. You can use any herbs you like, these are just may favorites, I occasionally add onions as well.

4 bananas
small amount of orange juice

Cut the bananas into 1" pieces, then place them in a bowl. Pour the orange juice over the bananas and stir gently until the bananas are coated with the orange juice. Freeze the banana pieces until needed. Remove the bananas from the freezer 10 minutes before you want to serve them. After they have been out of the freezer for 10 minutes, blend then in the food processor until smooth like ice cream. Serve. Garnish with a slice of fresh banana, if you wish. We have even served this to company in crystal goblets.

1 lb of shrimp (peeled and cleaned)
1 stick of butter
half a cup of olive oil
1 onion or scallion (diced)
2-3 tsp of minced garlic (garlic powder can be used)
pasta (any pasta can be used, I like angel hair or linguine)

Melt butter in the microwave in a 9" x 9" dish. Add the olive oil, onions, garlic, and shrimp. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, this recipe is easy to get ready the night before or even in the morning before leaving for work. Cook your pasta and at the same time place shrimp mixture, still covered with saran wrap, in the microwave and cook on high for 4 minutes. Stir mixture, and cook another 3 minutes or until shrimp are pink and cooked. You can either mix the shrimp and pasta together or just top your pasta with the shrimp. Super easy and very good. Recipe is very adjustable. Measuring doesn't have to be precise.

1 Roll Pillsbury Cookie Dough (Whatever flavor of white, delightful, flowing goo you like.)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place teaspoon dopplets of dough on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake for 9-14 minutes. Remove with mittens or imminent Fibromyalgia "DUH!" burns will occur on hands. Enjoy!

If in flare, eat that gooey, carcinogenic dough right from the damn tube.

Buy a whole chicken [(or parts you like, or backs and necks), if you like white meat chicken this will give you a good stock] approx. 3 lbs
Use a 6 quart pot, (bigger is ok but do not use more than four quarts of water) put the chicken in and fill the pot to an inch of the top.
Add salt and pepper and turn on to low heat.
Clean at least two carrots (three or four if you like carrot taste better than celery) and cut into thirds
Two pieces of celery with tops (three or four if you like celery taste better than carrot), cut up
Use cleaned parsnips (2 small, one large)
Cut Leek (one stalk) well rinsed
Onion (one large)
Clean bunch of parsley - hold on the side

Start to add the vegetables, to the water do not let the water come to a boil (it will overflow. Cook slowly until the water is turning yellow, add the parsley and cook for another hour. Remove the chicken and vegetables. Cut up and save the vegetables you like as well as the chicken. Place in a covered bowl or baggie and refrigerate. Allow the stock to cool and then refrigerate. When cold remove the solid yellow fat. Heat and serve. You can use it fresh but you have more fat that way. I usually make it at night and serve the next day.

In the international food section of the grocery store, on the jewish food shelf find a box of Matzoth Meal.
4 eggs beaten to light and fluffy and add 1/2 c stock or water with a bouillon mix in 1 cup of matzoth meal, salt and pepper. Mix all together, refrigerate for 30 minutes, add some club soda if it is very thick. Coat your hand with oil and form loose balls, drop into a pot of water at a rolling boil, cook uncovered for about 1 hour. Remove from water with a slotted spoon and place gently into your heating soup. If you have floaters you did it just right, if you have sinkers you tell those eating that that is the way they are meant to be. Beating the eggs and using club soda keeps them light, my best efforts some time still result in sinkers

This is really easy since it can be done "over time". Let someone else put it on the grill. And make at least a double recipe because it freezes well.

Ingredients:
water
celery stalks
carrots
onion
bay leaf
thyme
oregano
basil
celery salt
garlic (as much or little as you please)
lemon
one whole chicken (not cut-up)
and Orzo pasta, if you choose

Start boiling the water in a big enough pot to accommodate all ingredients. Cut off ends from (a couple of stalks) celery, (a couple of) carrots, onion, and garlic (if desired), take off skins, and cut into chunks and throw into the pot of water. Add pinches of herbs to taste and about a tsp. or less of celery salt. When water and all veggies come to a boil, add the whole chicken and bring back to a rolling boil. Once rolling boil is reached...with a long fork, remove chicken to a plate to rest for a moment. Add into pot of water, the Orzo pasta (resembles grains of rice) and bring pot back to a rolling boil. Put chicken back into pot, bring back up to boil and then remove from heat source, squeeze juice of half a lemon into pot and cover with a lid and forget about it. That way, we're sure the chicken is truly cooked to the right temp. Later, (about an hour or so) after pot has cooled, it's time to eat. You can either pull chicken out of the pot and dice up for chicken salad sandwiches with the Orzo soup as a side, or just reheat everything all together, remove chicken to a plate to cut up and serve, however you wish. This is an old Greek recipe and is ideal for someone with fibro, cause you get to rest in between the starting and the finishing and the thing that is the most amazing is how sweet and tender the chicken ends up. Serve with somebody's hearty, homemade bread. MM-mmm

1 stick margarine, melted
1 box powdered sugar
2 eggs
1 (8 oz.) package cream cheese

I cook this a lot in the winter when I want something hearty to warm me up (when I am sick of canned soup and grilled cheese sandwiches) but hurt too bad to spend a lot of time in the kitchen. It is quick to prepare, tastes great and does not mess up the kitchen. Give it a try!

I use the packaged baby carrots because it is easier and faster.....really just a matter of if you want to pay for the convenience. Pain will make you do that sometimes! Either way, I think this will become a stand-by dish at your home, too!

1-2 cans plum tomatoes chopped or whirl briefly in processor(they cannot be regular-too bitter)
a splash olive oil
2-5 cloves whole, peeled garlic
sugar or packet artificial sweetener, to taste
fresh basil coarsely chopped, to taste (about 6 leaves)
about 1/2 c.
Red wine pepper

Heat oil in pan. Add garlic and sauté 'til lightly browned. This happens quick so watch it! Add tomatoes, sugar, and wine, bring to boil. Add basil and pepper. Heat another 1-2 mins. This dish takes about 7-10 min total. Don't overcook. Serve over pasta.
