Chicken Tetrazzini
Ingredients
While the noodles are boiling, melt butter on a low heat in a frying pan. Add garlic, onion, zucchini and carrots. Sauté for about 3 minutes. Add soup, sour cream, milk, cheese and chicken. Stir over low heat, until noodles are done boiling. Drain noodles and add to the mixture. Toss well and serve immediately.

I was supposed to post this recipe last week , but with all my technical difficulties it didn’t happen.
Bee Rocks
Ingredients
Brown ground beef, when the beef is almost down browning add onions, cabbage, salt, pepper and garlic. While you are cooking the beef make your mashed potatoes. Add a little extra milk so the potatoes are not as thick as normal.

Add potatoes and corn to the mixture and stir in while the stove top is on low.

Remove from heat.
Take your dough (I use a basic pizza dough recipe) and roll out into circles the size of a small tortilla.

Add a scoop of your beef mixture.

Roll up like a burrito and tuck the ends under.

Bake at 400 degrees for about 20 minutes or until the outside of the dough is golden.

These freeze wonderfully and can be wrapped individually for a quick lunch.

Kate’s Week
Breakfasts
Lunch
Dinner
Honey Chicken over Veggie Rice
For Rice:
1. Heat oil and butter over medium-high heat in a medium pot until butter is melted. Add rice and season with salt and pepper. Cook rice, stirring often, until it is just begginning to turn brown, about 3-5 minutes.
2. Add chicken stock and lemon zest to rice. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover, and let simmer, 15-18 minutes for white rice; 40-45 minutes for brown rice. During the last 5 minutes of cooking, lift the lid and add the veggies on top of the rice. Do NOT stir. Return lid and let veggies steam while rice finishes cooking.
For Honey Chicken:
1. Heat oil in a large skillet. Add the chicken to the pan and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring often, until chicken is done, about 5 minutes.
2. Add the red pepper flakes, onion, garlic, ginger and honey to the pan. Cook, stirring frequently, until the onions are translucent.
3. Add the chicken stock to the skillet, making sure to deglaze the bottom of the pan. Bring to a boil and let simmer.
4. When the chicken begins to simmer, mix together the arrowroot powder or cornstarch with a splash of water. Stir until smooth. Stir into chicken and continue simmering until sauce is thickened. Serve over rice.
