Potato Flake Chicken
-Simple and Delicious
This sounds like a chicken dish I had at Olive Garden once, without the sauce that went with it. I know I printed out the recipe- I'll have to find it.
2/3 Cup mashed potato flakes
1/3 Cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tsp garlic salt
4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (8 oz each)
1/3 Cup butter, melted
In a shallow bowl, combine the potato flakes, Parmesan cheese, and garlic salt. Dip chicken in butter, then coat with potato flake mixture.
Place in a greased 13x9 inch baking pan. Bake, uncovered, at 350 degrees for 35-40 minutes or until juices run clear. Broil 4 inches from the heat for 3-5 minutes or until lightly browned.

Roasted Potatoes
Roasted Potatoes
-Simple and Delicious
This is listed as Zippy Potato Chunks in the magazine. I'll never put in the hot pepper sauce it calls for (I'll put it on the table for Perry, though), and the thought of "chunks" isn't very appetizing, so I'm changing it.
4 medium baking potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
1/3 Cup butter, melted
1 envelope herb and garlic soup mix
1 Tbsp hot pepper sauce
blue cheese or ranch salad dressing
Place the potatoes in a greased 13x9 baking dish. Combine the butter, soup mix, and pepper sauce; drizzle over potatoes.
Bake, uncovered, at 450 degrees for 45-50 minutes or until tender, stirring occasionally. Serve with salad dressing.

5 servings
My Notes
Didn't add onion (as usual) or pepper flakes (didn't have). Subjected my family to the tortures of grated cheese, yet again. I made 2 lbs of pasta, so I used 2 cups of cream, 2 cans of Italian diced tomatoes, undrained, and added 4 oz of sliced mushrooms, drained. The sauce never really thickened up for me.
Reviews
Josh didn't even want to try the sauce, and he's a sauce boy. Caleb said he liked it. Perry and I weren't wild about it. The only seasoning came from the sausage- the sauce itself was very bland. It really needed the pepper flakes. I don't know if it was the headache I had at the time, but I felt really nauseous for a long time after eating this.

Creamy Marinara Tortellini
Creamy Marinara Tortellini
-Simple and Delicious
2 Packages (9 oz each) refrigerated cheese tortellini
2 Cups marinara sauce
1 Cup heavy whipping cream
2 Tbsp all-purpose flour
1/2 Cup cold water
1 Can (14 oz) water-packed artichoke hearts, rinsed, drained and chopped
2 Tbsp minced fresh thyme or 2 tsp dried thyme
2 Tbsp olive oil
1/2 Cup shredded Parmesan cheese
1 Tbsp minced fresh parsley
1/4 tsp pepper
Cook tortellini according to package directions. Meanwhile, in a large saucepan, combine marinara sauce and cream. Combine flour and water until smooth; gradually add to sauce. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened.
Add the artichokes, thyme and oil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered for 2-4 minutes or until heated through. Drain tortellini; toss with sauce. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese, parsley, and pepper.
Serves 6
My Notes
I could not find the tortellini anywhere in the store (it disappears only when I'm looking for it), so I used 2 bags of frozen cheese ravioli. I also used a can of spaghetti sauce and guessed on the cream (I had made a pie with the other part of the cream and chose this recipe just to finish off the carton). I also had no thyme at all in the pantry, so I used some fresh oregano we had from one of my husband's recipes. I think I used a few sprigs. Didn't use parsley, and added the pepper to the sauce. And we won't go into how I made my family suffer with grated Parmesan... I also served the sauce and pasta separate.
Reviews
The ravioli were a big hit with everyone but Josh, who is a little leery of all things cheese. The baby had about 5, and Caleb and Mischa declared that we should have them again as soon as possible. The few little left over ravioli were also a very good snack a little later for me : ). The sauce was good, no one rejected it.
