Raspberry Jello

Our neighbors served this delicious raspberry Jello salad with dinner.  I asked for the recipe because I knew our family would really enjoy it.

2 boxes (3 oz ea) raspberry Jello (or one 6 oz box)

2 c boiling water

2 c applesauce

1 pkg frozen raspberries

Mix together the Jello, boiling water and applesauce until the Jello is dissolved, then stir in the frozen raspberries.

Spray the Jello mold with cooking spray before pouring the Jello into it.  If you don't have a Jello mold, you can pour this directly into a glass or ceramic bowl.

Refrigerate until set.

Serves 6-8

Li'l Cheddar Meat Loaves

Looking for a delicious meal that both kids and adults will enjoy?  This recipe is the one!  You can make these meat loaves and freeze them either before or after you cook them.  They are great to have on hand for a quick meal. 

1 egg

3/4 c milk

1 c (4 oz) shredded cheddar cheese

1/2 c quick-cooking oats

1/2 c chopped onion

1 tsp salt

1 lb lean ground beef

2/3 c ketchup

1/2 c packed brown sugar

1 1/2 tsp prepared mustard

In a bowl, beat the egg and milk.  Stir in cheese, oats, onion and salt.  Add beef and mix well.  Shape into eight loaves; place in a greased 9" x 13" baking dish.  Combine the ketchup, brown sugar and mustard, spoon over the meat loaves.  Bake uncovered at 350 F for 45 minutes or until the meat is no longer pink and a meat thermometer reads 160 F.

Indonesian Peanut Butter Chicken

This recipe is great for a weekday meal because it is so easy to make and it is delicious!

3 lbs boneless-skinless chicken thighs

Sauce:

3 TBS soy sauce

4 garlic cloves

1 1/2 TBS minced ginger

3 tsp sesame oil

1/4 tsp cayenne pepper

1/3 c peanut butter (Add after chicken is done)

cilantro

dry roasted peanuts, chopped

Brown chicken thighs in skillet then put in bottom of slow cooker.  (I have made this recipe several times without browning the chicken thighs and it was delicious.)

Combine sauce ingredients, except for the peanut butter, and pour over chicken thighs.  Cook on low for 7 hours or on high for 3.5 hours.

Remove chicken thighs and place on a plate, cover to keep warm.  Combine the peanut butter with the sauce in the slow cooker; stir well.  Pour the sauce over the top of the chicken thighs.

I like to serve this chicken over rice and topped with cilantro and chopped dry roasted peanuts.

Serves:  6
