Two easy and yummy recipes:
Summer Spaghetti: 1 package spaghetti, 1 kilbasa, italian diced tomatoes (or a cup and half of cherry tomatoes, cut in half), clove or so of garlic, italian seasoning.
cook the pasta as instructed. In a fry pan, heat a couple tablespoons of olive (or veggie oil), saute the kilbasa. add the tomatoes, garlic (to taste), and italian seasonings. Saute until warm, toss with the cooked pasta and sprinkle with parmesan.
Crockpot chili: assorted cans of assorted beans (the more the better: I use a can of black beans, kidney beans, white beans, etc). 1 jar of salsa, a can of tomato sauce, a package of chili seasoning, and cooked meat of your choice (i.e., 1 lb of ground beef, or a couple cubed cooked chicken breast, etc.) Drain the beans and add everything to the crockpot. You can add additional tomato sauce or diced tomatoes if needed for consistency. Cook on low. This is great cooked for as few as 4 hours or as long as 12. The longer it simmers, the better it is and it's geat with any variety of meat, or even w/o meat as a vegetarian dish.
Happy cooking!
