Parmesan Garlic Steak Fries

Get some nice steak fries from the grocery. Get some garlic powder and some fresh Parmesan cheese. Place the fries on a baking sheet. Cover lightly with the garlic powder. Cook for half of the required time. Pull out and add the Parmesan cheese. Cook the rest of the required time and serve. They make a wonderful side dish to any meal.

Herb Pork Chops

These are so simple and easy to do. All you need are some good pork chops. Those of you who know me know that I prefer a boneless pork loin chop. About 1/2 C of Olive Oil, 1 T of Rosemary and 1 T of Thyme. Put all ingredients in a zip lock bag. Let marinate for at least 2 hours.
Cook on the grill until done and serve. I like to serve some carrots with this along with maybe a good seasoned potato or even some garlic Parmesan steak fries. I make my own steak fries. They are so easy and sooooo good. Well, hope you like this.

Fruit covered Cheese Cake

2 Packages of no bake cheese cake
1 tub of whipped cream
1 pkg. of blueberries, cleaned and dried
1 pkg. strawberries, cleaned and sliced in half
1 clump of purple grapes, cleaned and dried

Make no back cheesecakes according to pkg. directions and put into a 9X13 pan. Keep chilled until almost ready to serve. When you are ready to serve, top with whipped cream and then with fruit. Serve immediately.

* Note: I usually get the fruit ready ahead of time so I can get it on top quickly before serving.

Easy Shepherds Pie

Ok, I have had 2 friends e-mail me and ask me for this recipe. It's so simple. I know it's more of a "winter" type meal, but they asked.

1 lb ground chuck
1/2 an onion chopped
1 clove of garlic minced
2 cans cream of mushroom soup
1 bag frozen mixed vegetables (thawed)*
8 slices of american cheese
2 pouches of instant creamy butter (or butter and herb) mashed potatoes
1 C Mozzarella Cheese

Heat oven to 350. In a large skillet cook meat, onion and garlic until done. Drain off fat. Add both cans of cream of mushroom soup and about 3/4 to 1 can filled with milk. Mix well and keep heating until nice and hot.
Empty pan into a 9X13 pan and spread across bottom. Add vegetables. Put cheese slices over vegetables. Prepare mashed potatoes according to package directions and spread over top of cheese. Put in oven and cook for 20 min. Pull out and add Mozzarella cheese on top and put back in oven for 10 min.
Pull out of oven and serve! I serve mine with crescent rolls.
*If your kids are picky about vegetables, use what ever kind they like or will eat. For example, mine like corn carrots and green beans. So I use small bags of each and use about 1/2 of each bag.
Enjoy my friend,
Kathy!
