1 can (14.5 ounces) Mexican-style diced tomatoes

1 large onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 teaspoons ground cumin

Pesto Chicken Pizza

halliejanssen — Sat, 14 Nov 2009 22:45:55 +0000

“Easy pizza dinner that uses chicken and pesto for a great meal. If fontina is not available at your store, just substitute mozzarella.”

Ingredients:

1/2 cup pesto basil sauce

1 (12 inch) pre-baked pizza crust

2 cups cooked chicken breast strips

1 (6 ounce) jar artichoke hearts, drained

1/2 cup shredded fontina cheese

Directions:

1.	Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
2.	Spread pesto sauce over the pizza crust. Arrange chicken pieces and artichoke hearts over the sauce, and sprinkle with cheese.
3.	Bake for 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven, until cheese is melted and lightly browned at the edges.

Stovetop Meatloaf Muffins

halliejanssen — Sat, 14 Nov 2009 22:44:44 +0000

Ingredients

1 (6 ounce) box Stove Top stuffing mix (any flavor is fine)
2 eggs
1 cup water
2 lbs ground beef or turkey

Directions

1

Mix all ingredients.
2

Spray muffin tins with cooking spray (Pam), esp for turkey.
3

Fill muffins tins to top.
4

Bake at 350°F for 35 minutes.

We loved this recipe as well. I used 1.3 lb (standard size tray) of 99% fat free turkey breast and about 4oz of stuffing, 1 cup of chicken broth, 1 egg and several shakes of worcestershire sauce and topped with ketchup. Easy and fast and yummy!
