It's like if you cooked off all the broth in chicken and rice soup and were left with the soggy afters but creamier? I would use medium to long grain rice, or just use Minute Rice. Sticky rice would turn out too sticky I think. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/this-weeks-menu-plans/page/3#post-2538832 Mon, 02 May 2016 11:45:27 +0000 LuLu Mom 2538832@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mon: skinny tuna noodle casserole<br /> Tue: BBQ pulled chicken sandwiches with veggies<br /> Wed: homemade pizza (going to Wild Wednesday at the zoo)<br /> Thurs: grilled hamburger/turkey burger<br /> Fri: honey garlic porkchops </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/this-weeks-menu-plans/page/3#post-2538830 Mon, 02 May 2016 11:40:09 +0000 Pumpkin Pie 2538830@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@gingerbebe: thanks. How does it taste? I know its an american classic, but I've actually never had it. Do you use sticky rice, or white long grain rice? I think I'll give this a try since it seems like it will be pretty easy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/this-weeks-menu-plans/page/2#post-2538793 Mon, 02 May 2016 11:05:00 +0000 jhd 2538793@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@brownepiano: thanks for the recipe! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/this-weeks-menu-plans/page/2#post-2538783 Mon, 02 May 2016 10:59:24 +0000 brownepiano 2538783@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jhd: it's from here <a href="http://www.livingthecountrylife.com/blogs/lisas-kitchen/2011/04/21/corn-dog-casserole/" rel="nofollow">http://www.livingthecountrylife.com/blogs/lisas-kitchen/2011/04/21/corn-dog-casserole/</a></p> <p>Full disclosure my two year old hates it but I have no idea why!

Last week there were two days I cooked chicken for him while we ate steak, and he was really upset as I was eating a different thing.

I make it "healthier" by making my own "cream of soup" base, but you can totally just use the canned stuff. Also, I don't know why but this HAS to have the canned mixed vegetables - the mushy veggies just make it. Also a bonus is that my toddler gobbles it up! </p> <p>2 cups cooked rice<br /> 1.5 cups chopped cooked chicken (I use Costco rotisserie chicken meat)<br /> 1 can (10 3/4 ounce) Cream of Chicken Soup<br /> 1 can (10 3/4 ounce) Cream of Celery or Mushroom Soup<br /> 1 can of mixed vegetables </p> <p>**Broccoli cheese variation - replace mixed veggies with 2 cups of chopped frozen broccoli and add 1 cup of shredded cheddar.</p> <p>Directions: Preheat oven to 350. Mix everything together and pour into a 9x13 pan that is well-greased or sprayed with Pam. Cover dish tightly with foil and bake for 30 minutes. </p> <p>Homemade Cream of Soup Base: (makes 2 can's worth)</p> <p>4 tablespoons butter<br /> 6 tablespoons flour<br /> 1.5 cups chicken broth<br /> 1 cup milk<br /> 1/2 teaspoon salt<br /> 1/4 teaspoon black pepper<br /> 1/2 teaspoon of poultry seasoning or thyme or dried herbs<br /> 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder<br /> 1/2 teaspoon onion powder</p> <p>Directions: Melt butter in pan, add flour and whisk until combined and the roux turns blonde/golden. Add the liquids and seasonings and whisk together and cook on low heat for about 5 minutes until thickened. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/this-weeks-menu-plans/page/2#post-2537939 Sun, 01 May 2016 00:24:53 +0000 Pumpkin Pie 2537939@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@gingerbebe: can you share the creamy chicken and rice casserole recipe?

Its a peanutty red version. Its SOOOOOOO GOOD!!! I use all coconut milk instead of the water/coconut milk mix called for in the recipe for extra richness and added a can of bamboo shoots and some sliced bell peppers towards the end for that Thai restaurant experience. A fistful of basil at the end wouldn't hurt either! I do it 4 hours on high.</p> <p><a href="http://www.jocooks.com/main-courses/poultry-main-courses/crockpot-thai-chicken-thighs/" rel="nofollow">http://www.jocooks.com/main-courses/poultry-main-courses/crockpot-thai-chicken-thighs/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/this-weeks-menu-plans/page/2#post-2535505 Wed, 27 Apr 2016 22:40:48 +0000 Mrs Panda 2535505@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@irene: it's not too bad - maybe it sounds more complicated than it is!
