Madam X's Recipe for
FIBRO SPAGHETTI or MACARONI
and Madam X's Chicken

water
spaghetti or macaroni
Prego spaghetti sauce can of
Contadina or Del Monte stewed tomatoes (substitution for above stewed tomaters: use those that are flung your way by the folks on this here Wall, for your bad jokes, ...my personal supply is huge, call if you need some).

Now, boil enough water, then add enough spaghetti or macaroni, bring back to boil and simmer until done (we prefer "al dente", which means chewy). Put Prego sauce and tomatoes (stewed or otherwise) into a bowl and heat up in microwave. Drain pasta and add to bowl of sauce & tomatoes, mix well. Serve up on Dixie paper plates and eat up. When done eating, do the dishes (as in, throw 'em away!). Doneness has set in.

Now if you want the above as a side dish, then add the following.....

MADAM X's CHICKEN

buy nice, fresh chicken tenders
1your favorite spice blend
cooking spray

Shake your favorite spice blend on one side of the chicken tenders. Spray cooking spray into a Teflon-coated fry pan. Heat the pan. Put chicken tenders in pan (unseasoned side down first). Lightly brown. Turn to other side and brown until done. Cooks are allowed to blow on one and eat with fingers to make sure they're done. Remove to paper plates when done, and eat heartily.

NOTE:
Both of the above are low fat recipes... a bowl of spaghetti is about 3 points on a diet and three tenders are worth about 2 points. Leaving enough room to eat a Dilly Bar (3 more points) for dessert! Enjoy!!

PARMESAN CHICKEN

Ingredients
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
1/4 cup mayonnaise (or equivalent)
1 tsp to 1 tbsp oregano (depends on how strong tasting your oregano is. Oregano powder is sometimes stronger than flakes. Experiment to your own taste.)
Some seasoning salt
Take the chicken breasts and cut off all the excess fat, cartilage, and any ugly parts that need cutting off. Rinse and pat dry.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees
Turn chicken breasts upside down with the "flat" side up and liberally salt with the Seasoning Salt. Place them into baking pan that you can cover with lid or aluminum foil. (When you pick them up, place them with the Seasoning Salt side down and the rounded side up.)
Mix together parmesan cheese, mayonnaise and oregano. Evenly cover the tops of the chicken breasts with this mixture. Use all of it
Cover pan and bake for approximately 1 hour depending on thickness of chicken breasts. Or you can leave uncovered and bake for 10-15 minutes. They will be browner, but also drier.
