Cook boneless skinless chicken breasts in a skillet with a little oil about 4 minutes per side on medium heat. Add one chopped onion, cook briefly and add 1 cup of chicken broth. Cook about 3 minutes then add one jar of spaghetti sauce. Turn heat to low, cover and let simmer until chicken is done, approximately 20 minutes. Meanwhile, cook some spaghetti following directions on the box. Drain the pasta and serve the chicken and sauce over the pasta. Bagged salad and some Italian bread complete the meal. This is not my recipe – another member of the YA community posted it.
Corny Rice Casserole


1 (5oz) pkg. yellow rice


1 can kernel corn, drained


1 onion, chopped


1 green pepper, chopped


1 can cream of chicken soup


8 oz. sour cream


Salt, pepper, garlic powder, cayenne pepper to taste


1 cup grated cheese (your choice: cheddar, jack, pepper jack)





Prepare yellow rice according to directions on package. I always use chicken broth instead of water to give it more flavor. Meanwhile, saute onion and green pepper in olive oil or butter until translucent. In a large bowl combine the cooked rice, corn, onions/peppers, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, and seasonings. Add in some of the cheese and pour into a greased casserole dish and top with cheese and bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. (You could also add in a jar of drained pimentos or drained English peas- I left them out.)





Cream Cheese Pound Cake:


8 oz. softened cream cheese


3 sticks butter, softened


6 eggs


3 cups granulated sugar


3 cups all purpose flour


1/4 tsp. salt


1 tsp. lemon extract


2 tsp. vanilla extract





Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Grease and flour a tube pan. In a large mixing bowl, cream the cream cheese and butter together until incorporated. Add in the sugar in small batches and cream together until fluffy which takes at least three minutes. Add in the eggs one at a time until fully incorporated. Mix the salt and flour together and add to the creamed mixture in small batches until incorporated. Add in the two flavorings. Pour batter into the greased/floured tube pan and bake for one hour and fifteen minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle of the cake comes out clean. Depending on your oven it may take up to thirty extra minutes cooking time. Cool in pan until cool for easy removal.
