This recipe is a winner. Whenever I make it I never have any leftover because my son and my husband both have second and third helpings every time.

1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
2 (14.5 ounce) cans chicken broth

Answer 3

I soaked chicken quarters in chiavettas overnight and grilled it over a bed of hot coals. I also made potato salad last night so it was nicely chilled and full of flavor by the time dinner was ready. I threw together a nice garden salad with romaine, spinach, cherry tomatoes, sliced cucumbers, and chopped baby carrots. For desert we had straberry shortcake topped with whipped cream! It was very yummy and a great meal for a hot day.

I don't really have a recipe for the potato salad. But it includes potatoes, diced red onion, sliced green olives, bacon, chopped celery and mayo.

I used this recipe for the Strawberry Shortcake (it's fantastic!)

3 pints fresh strawberries
1/2 cup white sugar
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
4 teaspoons baking powder
2 tablespoons white sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup shortening
1 egg
2/3 cup milk
2 cups whipped heavy cream

Slice the strawberries and toss them with 1/2 cup of white sugar. Set aside.
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Grease and flour one 8 inch round cake pan.
In a medium bowl combine the flour, baking powder, 2 tablespoons white sugar and the salt. With a pastry blender cut in the shortening until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Make a well in the center and add the beaten egg and milk. Stir until just combined.
Spread the batter into the prepared pan. Bake at 425 degrees F (220 degrees C) for 15 to 20 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool partially in pan on wire rack.
Slice partially cooled cake in half, making two layers. Place half of the strawberries on one layer and top with the other layer. Top with remaining strawberries and cover with the whipped cream.

Cheese or chicken and cheese quesadillas. Easy.

Cut into wedges, top with salsa and sour cream and sliced olives. Yum - and quick!

Answer 6

Chicken.
Poach your chicken pieces in some stock and set aside, until cool enough to handle, and de-bone.
Pasta.
Place in salted boiling water and cook until you get the degree of cooking you like.
Penne or Elbows will do very well here.
Sauce.
Make a normal white sauce and add some grated tasty cheese, remove from heat and stir until it is smooth.

Combine everything and place in an oven proof dish, sprinkle with more cheese and bake until it is bubbling and the cheese has melted and started to brown.
