Hi!
I make a salad with peanut sauce. It taste good!
Boiled potato, boiled eggs, lettuce, del monte sweet corn.
You mix the peanut sauce with mashed garlic, salt to taste and hot water until it makes good sauce.
Mix them and enjoy!

I have tons of them but here is what I made for dinner tonight. It makes a huge batch. It feed my husband, my 3 year old and me for about 3-4 days.
Vegatarian Navy Bean Soup.

1cup soaked dried navy beans.
1 peeled diced potatoe
1 can stewed tomatoes.
2 diced carrots
2 diced celery stalks
1 diced onion
3 cups shredded cabbage
3 cups tomatoe juice
3 cups veggie broth (you can use chicken if you want)
3 cups water (or more or less depending on how thick you want it)
1 tb cumin
1/3 cup prepared mustard
1 tb chilli powder
salt to taste
Bring to a boil then cook on low intill the beans are soft (about 3-4hrs) purree 1/3 of the veggies and beans and add back to the soup (this thickens the broth without adding starch or flour.) Add 1/2 cup brown rice or 1 cup instant brown rice. cook for another 30 minutes to an hour till rice is done.

Lentils with Bulgur & Balsalmic Vinegar

1 1/2 cups washed/strained/picked over lentils
1 cup coarse bulgur (consistency #3)
5 cups of vegetable broth
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp thyme
1/8 tsp black pepper
1 Tbs grapeseed oil (or whatever oil you use)
2 onions, diced
1 carrot, thinly sliced
3 Tbs balsalmic vinegar

Combine broth, lentils, bulgur, salt, thyme & pepper in a large pot. Bring to a boil, cover & simmer for 25 minutes. In 12 inch dutch oven heat oil, add carrots & onions and sautee over medium-low heat for 20 minutes, until onions are browned & carrots are soft. Gently mix the lentil/bulgur mix into the veggies. Cook for 2 more minutes. Add balsalmic vinegar & mix. Serve immediately. Makes about 8 servings (yay for leftovers!!)

My kids are really annoyingly picky eaters, but last night they all (5 yrs, 3 yrs & 1 yrs) gobbled it up. It was the first time I made it.

My mother in law assumes i cant cook so she gave me this reall super simple recipe. You might have already had this one.

Cream of mushroom chicken.

Boneless chicken in a whatever size bake sheet you want. For how much chicken you cook.

Season to taste (I like mccormick garlic seasalt and mccormick lemon & pepper) salt, garlic and pepper would be good too. Whatever you prefer.

Then stir together one can of cream of chicken w/ 1/2 cup of milk

Poor that in pan w/ chicken

Then add graded cheese on top.

You can add any veggies you like. I like tomatoes and onions.

Cover with foil. Maybe poke a couple holes in there with a fork

Preheat oven to 350 (maybe you should do this first :)

Cook for about 50 min. Check on it. Mine is usually done but time varys for every oven. May another 10 to 20 minutes.

Serve this with a bag of green giant veggies you find in the frozen section. Just throw it in the microwave, some wheat toast and a glass of milk and you got a healthy very easy (even i can do it) meal.

I was rereading my answer and realized it may not sound that good but it is the best chicken i have ever had.
