Vene's Cookbook

I like a wide variety of foods. Maybe later on when I get alot I'll make more than one cookbook. Sometime soon I'll see about adding some of my own recipies. I have to go through and slim some of them up.

Moms Meatloaf Un-chained
Very Good 4.5/5

Boston Market ( casual dining) makes a really good meatloaf but this one is alot healthier and making it in the crockpot makes getting dinner on the table a snap. Make it up the night before and just pop it in the crockpot and set to low and dinner is ready when you get home. Match up with some healthy sides of steamed vegs. Dinner in a snap.

Yummy eggrolls stuffed full of veggies. For lumpia (what I've been told is the Phillipine version of egg rolls) use spring roll papers. We use these as a meal but make a great side or appetizer too!

A delicious, lightened up version of the ever-popular Chinese take-out dish. Serve with steamed rice (not calculated into recipe).

Excellent flavor! The kids and hubbs all liked it. It was much more flavorful (but not overpowering) and fresh tasting than take-out. Everyone gave this a big thumbs up.

Of course, you will probably make more than one. I like this recipe because if you want one, you can make one and pop it into the toaster oven. If you want to make a batch, then just multiply the recipe.
