"This is one of my favorites because it is easy, fast and simple and versatile. If you like brown rice, I recommend using it in this and all recipes. It takes a bit longer to cook but is worth the wait, for both nutrition and taste. There is an instant brown rice on the market now, too."

An easy, yet filling main dish of lean turkey kielbasa, red beans and brown rice.

Technically this is a crustless quiche, but the addition of flour makes for a delicious crusty bottom and sides.

A healthy and filling middle eastern dip! Eat it as an appetizer or snack with some pita. Why buy your hummus ready made from the store, when you can make it yourself?

My aunt Gwen was a great cook and she kept go-to-quick recipes that were always as good as her spent-all-day-making recipes. This was one of my favorites from her go-to-quick list.

Cookbook creator says: **substitute tomato puree and chili pepper seasoning for chili sauce.
**cut back on the amount of chicken used and add turkey smoked sausage
**use cajun seasoning when browning chicken

Cookbook creator says: Can use 5 eggs instead of egg beaters, can bake in a tin and make mini quiches that freeze well.

This has no eggs or mayo so is great for picnics and cookouts since it doesn't have to be refrigerated. We make it the day before to really meld the flavor. Great-Grandfather Bornkessel, a waiter, brought this recipe with him when he left Germany, worked in Switzerland then came to USA. Super high in potassium if you are restricted be careful.

A hearty and tasty soup

Traditional German Keilbasa soup, with a very few minor changes. Like adding garlic.

I lived on this in college. It's good scrambled with eggs and chili powder for breakfast, too.

Cookbook creator says: I love the chicken part of this recipe... the spanish rice part however, never turns out correctly. Instead I bake 1cup rice with 1can chili beans, 1 can stewed tomatoes(mushed up) 1 cup frozen corn, 1/2 cup water and 1-2 tsp cumin and a dash of garlic powder. Bake at 350 for 45-60 min.

Looking for a simple curry that's flavorful but not too hot? This hearty stew fits the bill.

Submitted by CHEF_MEG

Cookbook creator says: Add spices and cut sodium....also no breadcrumbs......I don't need the carbs and calories and others said they weren't gonna use them next time. They said it was dry so remember to moisten it up. Spices to add possibly: chili powder, cayenne pepper.
