  30. I coat chicken in egg/milk, then in ritz crackers or cornflakes and Parmesan cheese...and bake til golden brown and chicken is done.

  31. I like a One-pot pasta meal that is very versatile... pasta, cream of mushroom or chicken soup, cheese, garlic, onions/onion powder, and whatever leftover meat & veggies one has on hand... if you cook the pasta in an equal amount of water, the water is almost gone by the time the pasta is cooked (although I add extra water if I'm cooking veggies with the pasta). Just have to watch it for sticking. :)
