I love to make two different dishes, but the second is mostly for the adults. The first is real simple, and self explanitory; breaded pork chops with mashed potatoes and gravy, and canned corn on the side. The second is a lot of work, but to me is very delicious and filling, and again I don't think the kids will eat it, mine just like the juice and rice. The second dish is Chile Rellenos with caldo and spanish rice. First you deep fry, or roast poblano peppers so the skin can seperate, as soon as you get one all crispy, or fried you wrap it in a damp cloth and son and so forth. when you have all in the cloth you then peel the skin off and make a small slit and remove seeds ( rinse in water to help make it faster) when all are done you can fill them with cheese any kind will do, but I like monterey jack; or cooked ground beef, or shredded beef, or whatever you think will taste good. After you get one extra egg then chiles (4 chiles= 5 eggs) you then seperate the white and the yolks. you mix up the white till they get airy and then and the yolks and when they are nice and airy you put about 3 teaspoons of flour. You are now ready to cover the chiles with the egg mixture and make sure you have a pan with oil heated up already, you then fry the chiles as if you were frying breaded chicken. The sauce is very simple just empty a 15 oz can of tomatoe sauce with 2 more cans of water, then put 2 tablespoons of chicken boullion and let boil then simmer. The way I make the spanish rice is to first fry slices of onion with about 2 1/2 tbsp of oil, then 2 cups of rice, then (1) 15 ounce can of tomatoe sauce, with same amount of water, and 2 tsp of chicken boullion and let it simmer. For the kids I just make some pre-cooked chicken tenders, or something to go with the caldo and rice. and depending on how many chiles you put it can serve up to six maybe eight ppl. Well hope this is useful.

this is one of my favorites & it is very easy I call it frito pie some call it enchilada casserole
you'll need:
1 lb ground beef (I like to use groung chuck or ground round)
1 regular sized bag of original frito's
2 cans of enchilada sauce (I like old el paso)
about 3 cups of shredded cheese (I use pre shredded jack & cheddar mix)
1 can of black olives (optional)
1 diced onion (optional)
1 average sized casserole dish
I just pre heat my oven to about 350 ,brown my hamburger meat,then in my casserole dish I crush fritos for the bottom layer & go chips, meat, cheese, sauce (I don't use onions or black olives) until I get to the top of the dish last top it w/ cheese & put it in the oven until the cheese melts. It's delicious-I know your family will love it :)

Making homemade pizza is always fun! You can buy the pizza kits at the grocery store and then just add whatever else you want on it. You can let your kids be as creative as they want with their toppings that way! It could be a fun and easy meal to prepare together as a family. I always loved making pizzas with my mom when I was little :)

Hey dont you know coocking. Are you male or female. If you are female then you must know coocking well. In India we do not marry the girl who dont know coocking well.
By the way now time is changing. Weasternization is now all accepted. And now even husbands are also learning coocking to help there out door working wives.

If you have a crockpot you could make Chili, then buy some Jiffy cornbread mix and make that up. Have a salad to begin the meal and you should be full by the time you eat all this. Another easy meal is - buy some pre chopped stew meat, mix it with cream of mushroom soup and let it cook in the crockpot all day til the meat falls apart. Serve this over wide egg noodles -- this is a great short cut to serve Stroganoff.
