Answer 2

If you've got a crock pot...this is a receipe my kids and I love! Simple and smells so good after an afternoon at the park or errands:

1/2 cup cocout milk
1/2 cup water
8 chicken thighs, skinned
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 Tbsp. soy sauce
1/2 tsp. ground cloves
2 garlic cloves, minced

1. Combine coconut milk and water. Pour into greased slow cooker.
2. Add remaining ingredients in order listed.
3. Cover. Cook on LOW 5 - 6 hours.

You can serve over rice or noodles. If you serve over rice, use the remaining coconut milk in place of 1/2 the water used to cook the rice and your rice will be so yummy. Serve with Hawaiian rolls, and fresh fruit. Yummy and no work at all!
Enjoy

Answer 3

Fried bean tacos!
Corn tortillas, refried beans, the cheese of your choice and whatever else you like.

You need a skillet, about 3 tablespoons of oil...

Heat the tortillas so they're soft and pliable. Stuff them with a couple tablespoons of beans, a little cheese and fold them like regular tacos. Saute in the oil until they're getting golden brown and then drain on paper towels.

Dip them in sour cream and guacamole if you like (you can get it already prepared at the grocery store in the produce section if you don't know how to make it.)...pico de gallo or salsa..

It's high in fiber and protein and if you use olive or canola oil it isn't too bad for you...it's quick, easy and tasty!

I just started using a slow cooker. It is really great. New recipies and as most are stews and soups, I just have to put all the ingredients in at about 11 turn it on and it's ready for dinner. My kids loved the chicken and dumplings I made, I even made a cherry cobbler and vegetarian stuffed peppers.

Answer 6

try some international dishes or dishes from different regions of the US. Maybe one nite you can do Southern cuisine and serve up fried catfish & cornbread, another nite do homemade risotto and chicken. Try Indian dishes, couscous, etc. If you (and your family?) are willing to experiment, this should be fun. Try your local bookstore for recipes or www.foodtv.com. This is the Food Network website.
