Fideo (Mexican Spaghetti)
This was really good! I did modify it just a bit after reading the reviews...I decided not to add chicken to the pot, I grilled some chicken thighs/legs separately. I used olive oil, sauteed 1 onion, 1 garlic clove in the oil, added angel hair spaghetti, let it cook for about 4 min. Then I added 2 cans of regular stewed tomatoes, 1 (15oz) can of tomato sauce, 1 cup of water, 1/2T Cumin, 1T chili powder and 1/2 tsp. salt. I allowed this to simmer for about 20 min. I put shredded chedder, sour cream, olives and green onions in bowls on the table so everyone could garnish their bowls as they liked. Everyone really liked this, I was surprised, it was simple and really good!

Beef Egg Rolls
These were really very good! The whole family really liked them. I made them exactly like the recipe with only one change, I used celery salt, instead of the salt the recipe called for. The rolling up of the egg rolls was a bit tricky at first, but I finally got the hang of it. These were really good, will make again with the restaurant style fried rice from this site. Nice change from the weekly dinner rotation!

Chicken Noodle Casserole I
Okay, this recipe was a real meal saver. With almost nothing in the way of groceries in the house and me not wanting to go to the store (shocking, right!?) this recipe sure came in handy. I did have to admit that I had to alter the recipe a bit just because of what I had or did not have on hand. I did add some garlic powder and onion powder to the chicken breasts as they cooked. I sauteed some onion, used 1 can of cream of chicken soup and 1 can of cream of celery and had to use 8 oz of cream cheese and 3/4 cup of milk. I also added some shredded cheddar cheese and some frozen peas. I did top this casserole with the cracker crumbs and a few very small pats of butter. This was not exactly the healthiest, but it has to be better than fast food, and it tasted waay better too! Everyone really liked this, and had seconds and thirds. Served with a tossed salad, this was a good, thrown together, easy and yummy meal!
