Recipes of the week
RJ - Pasta With Chicken and Vegetables

cooked, cubed chicken (baked or broiled)

1 box whole wheat pasta, preferably rotini or penne

2 red peppers

3 cloves garlic

1 medium onion

Olive oil

Start boiling water for pasta. Chop peppers, garlic, and onion and sauté them in a pan using Pam or a little bit of olive oil. Prepare pasta as directed and drain, but do not rinse. Add sautéed veggies and drizzle olive oil over and mix.

Gavin - Manhandler Meatloaf (Makes 2 loafs - 16 servings @4 oz)

Thanks to DWLZ.com http://www.dwlz.com/Recipes/manhandlermeatloaf.html

Ingredients

1 (6 oz) box pork-flavored Stove Top stuffing mix (I used low sodium chicken flavor)
1 (8 oz) carton egg substitute - (Egg Beaters)
1 cup mild thick n' chunky salsa
1/2 cup honey barbecue sauce
1 (14 oz) pkg fat-free smoked sausage (I used lean Italian turkey sausage)
2 lbs lean ground round

Glaze

1/4 cup grape jelly
1/2 cup honey barbecue sauce
2 tbsp salsa

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. With a blender or food processor, grind up the
stuffing mix bread crumbs into fine bread crumbs. In a large bowl, combine
egg substitute, salsa, BBQ sauce, bread crumbs, and seasoning packet from
stuffing mix. Stir well until combined. Cut sausage lengths into 1 inch pieces
and grind in blender. Combine ground sausage, ground meat with the bread
crumb mixture. Use your hands. This makes TWO meatloaves. Bake meatloaf
in oven for 50 minutes (freeze the other one to bake later)...then spread on glaze
and bake another 10 minutes.
