Colorful Chicken Casserole
This is a good basic recipe but you need to add things to it to make it more flavorful. I added red bell peppers and yellow squash to the veggies. I added about 1/4 c. white wine when I added the chicken and pasta. I noticed I needed more broth so I added 1 can of cream of celery and about 1/3c more broth. The pasta would have absorbed all of the broth had I not added extra. I seasoned with salt and pepper then put it in the oven. The cooking times are RIGHT ON. I only made 1/2 a serving and it seriously made enough for 4 people with left overs. It's a good quick recipe to use left over chicken. Thanks so much.

Beef Stroganoff with White Wine
This recipe is pretty good but it's not really a "stroganoff". It would work better with rice than pasta but we really felt like pasta so I thickened it more. In my opinion, the wine sauce should be reduced down about 1/2 way before adding the cream/flour mixture. I added 1c heavy cream and 1c sour cream since I didn't have half n half. I also used left over steak from the weekend and chopped it up in 1" chunks. Since it was already cooked, I just threw everything in the onion mixture together. I omitted the mushrooms because my hubby hates them. I added peas, 1TBS of worscheshire sauce and a tad of crushed red pepper to give it another dimension. This was a good recipe. I'm not one that can just throw things together, though once I have an idea I never stick to the recipe. So, thanks for the wonderful idea. It made leftovers. :)

Stir-Fry Spicy Green Beans
These were really good. I only used 2 tbs of fish sauce and low sodium soy sauce. I simmered covered for 5 minutes then removed the cover. I tossed in a bit of crushed red pepper for a little spice. It was definitely a 4.5
