Answer 1

lasagna

12 lasagna noodles
1 (12 ounce) container cottage cheese
1 box frozen chopped spinach (thawed and WELL drained, I dry by squeezing out with paper towels or cheese cloth)
1 lb ground beef
1 lb ground sausage
1 (67 ounce) jar spaghetti sauce (I use Prego vegetable medley)
8-10 ounces shredded monterey jack cheese
8-10 ounces shredded cheddar cheese

Boil noodles in water until tender.
Brown ground beef and sausage until well done.
Add spaghetti sauce to meat.
Mix together the cottage cheese and drained spinach.
Spray bottom of lasagna pan with no-stick spray.
Layer:Noodles, meat sauce, noodles, cottage cheese/spinach mixture, noodles, meat sauce, noodles, cottage cheese/spinach mixture, noodles, meat sauce and top with cheese.
Bake 350 for 40 minutes covered and about 15 minutes uncovered.

Answer 2

I can sympathsize with that! For a while I was eating too much pasta because I couldn't afford anything else!

Iced tea

6 regular tea bags (I use Lipton)
1 herbal tea bag (My preference here is Tension Tamer, but others will work well too)
1 sprig mint
3/4 cups sugar
dash cinnamon
a quart or more of water

Bring the water to a boil, then turn off the heat and dump in the other ingredients. Let steep for about half an hour, more or less. Strain out the mint and teabags, and put your tea into a gallon container with enough cold water to make a gallon. Or use ice, if you're in a hurry to chill the tea down.

Stir-fried vegetables

1 onion, sliced
1 squash, sliced
1 stalk celery, sliced
1 bell pepper, diced
optional additions: red or green peppers, hot peppers, mushrooms, eggplant, or zuchinni
salt and pepper to taste, garlic, chives, tarragon, basil, and oregano

In a skillet melt shortenning or butter, or some combination thereof. Add your vegetables and seasonings, then stir until the vegetables get a hint of transparency in them. Serve as a side, or over pasta. This recipe is extremely flexible, so experiment!

For a desert or snack, try a batter like pancakes but thinner. While the cakes are frying, in another pan heat together syrup, honey, nuts, and a hint of peanut butter. It's rich, but very tasty!

Answer 3

If you've been making a lot of hamburger helper you probably want something less casserole style. I would reccommend the following simple menu as a starter.

Roast chicken with potatoes and carrots.

Ingredients
1 whole chicken (5-6 lbs)
1/4 cup vegetable oil
2 Tbsp flour
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 tsp dried thyme leaves
2 lbs red skinned potatoes, washed
1 lb baby carrots, washed

Heat oven to 350 F. Open up chicken package and drain juices and throw away the stuff inside it. (These things do have uses but since you seem to want simple stuff just chuck it out) Mix up oil, flour, garlic, salt, pepper, and thyme. Brush mixture on chicken. Place chicken on roasting pan on rack. You can use a cookie sheet if that's all you've got and construct a rack out of celery sticks or onion slices, the point is to lift the chicken out of it's juices. Put the chicken in the oven and cook 1/2 hour. Open oven door and place potatoes in pan around chicken. Roll potatoes around a little so that juices coat potatoes. Spoon some juices over chicken. Close door and cook 1/2 hour longer. Open oven door and add carrots to pan once again rolling them around a little so that juices coat carrots. Spoon some juices over chicken. Cook 30 minutes longer. The chicken should be nicely browned. I like the chicken cooked until the drumstick moves easily. If you have a meat thermometer you want the breast meat at 170 and the thigh meat at 185.

I would also reccommend checking out a few cookbooks from the library. They have great ideas on menus, desserts, etc. You will quickly find one that suits your families tastes and comfort level! Fannie Farmer and Betty Crocker are both excellent.
