   An easy recipe for lots of people would be to bake chicken breasts on a baking sheet covered in pasta sauce. It takes about 40 minutes. For the last 10 minutes of cooking time put mozzarella cheese or parmigiana on top of the chicken. I usually serve with rice which is also easy for lots of people. For veg I would serve some fresh beans or carrots.

   If you are having an informal meal you would do well to grill your chicken. I usually season mine with pepper, thyme, onion and garlic powders. I never use salt before cooking as it causes the juices to be pulled from the meat. Don’t make many cakes so I can’t help you there.

   When I make chicken for a large amount of people, I normally grill it or bake it in a lemon chicken rub. I then either do Nectarine Salsa (homemade) or Black bean & corn salsa (homemade) for the spread on top of chicken.
   Here are my recipes for the salsa’s

   Nectarine Salsa

   3 red roma tomatoes
   1 ½ Nectarine
   ½ cup red/purple onion
   ½ cup basil (optional)
   ½ cup baby spinach leaves diced
   ¼ cup salsa

   Chop finely & mix together, let chill for about an hour or until ready to serve on top of chicken. Add salt & pepper to taste.

   Black Bean & Corn Salsa

   1 can Goya Black Beans
   1 can yellow corn
   1 roma tomato
   ½ cup red/purple onion (sweet)
   ¼ cup salsa
   1 tsp. garlic salt
   Salt & pepper for taste

   Use corn & beans cooked or uncooked to your preference, chop vegetables and mix ingredients. Chill until ready to serve on top of chicken.

   Lemon poppy seed cake

   -this is a great summertime recipe
   Adding fresh lemon to the recipe for Easy Lemon Poppy Seed Cake makes all the difference.

   INGREDIENTS:
   One 18-1/4 ounce Yellow Cake Mix
   One 4-serving size Instant Lemon Pudding Mix
   4 eggs
   1 cup water
   1/2 cup vegetable oil
   4 tablespoons poppy seeds
   Juice and zest of 1 lemon

   PREPARATION:
   Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour a Bundt pan. Combine dry cake mix and dry pudding mix. Add eggs, water and oil and stir until well blended. Stir in poppy seeds, lemon zest and juice. Pour mix into Bundt pan. (You can even make cupcakes if wanted)

   Bake for 45 minutes at 350 degrees F. If top of cake looks wet after that time, turn oven off and let it bake a few more minutes. Remove cake from oven and let it cool at room temperature for 15-20 minutes, then invert into serving plate. When completely cool, sift powdered sugar over the top, OR make a simple glaze and let it dribble over the cake

   or

   Pastel de Tres Leches
   This version serves 10 generous portions.

   CAKE
   1 cup sugar
   5 large eggs, separated
   1/3 cup milk
   1/2 tsp vanilla extract
   1 cup all-purpose flour
   1-1/2 tsp baking powder
   1/2 tsp cream of tarter

   MILK SYRUP:
   1 can (12 oz) evaporated milk
   1 cup sweetened condensed milk
   1 cup heavy (or whipping) cream
   1 tsp vanilla extract
   1 Tbsp dark Cuban rum

   GARNISHES:
   Fresh whipped cream or good quality vanilla ice cream
   Cocoa powder
   Sliced fresh mango (or the fruit of your choice- tropical fruits pair nicely with this cake)

   METHOD:Preheat oven to 350oF. Generously butter a 13 x 9-inch baking dish.CAKE: Beat 3/4 cup sugar and the egg yolks until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Fold in the milk, vanilla, flour and baking powder.Beat the egg whites to soft peaks, adding the cream of tartar after 20 seconds. Gradually add the remaining 1/4 cup sugar and continue beating until the whites are glossy and firm, but not dry. Gently fold the whites into the yolk mixture. Pour this batter into the buttered baking dish.Bake the cake until it feels firm and an inserted toothpick comes out clean, about 30-45 minutes. Let the cake cool completely in baking dish. Pierce the cake all over with a fork, taking care to not tear it up.
   MILK SYRUP: Combine the evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk, cream, vanilla and rum in a mixing bowl. Whisk until well blended. Pour the syrup over the cake, spooning the overflow back on top, until it is all absorbed.
   When ready to serve, cut a slice and plate it. Top with a dollop of freshly whipped cream or a side of ice cream, dust cake and cream with some fresh cocoa powder and place a slice or two of fresh mango on the side. This cake is addictive- you’ve been warned! Enjoy!

   Crunchy Onion Chicken

   1 1/3 cups French’s Original French Fried Onions
   4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
   1 egg, beaten

   Place onions is plastic bag and lightly crush.
   Dip chicken in egg then in onion crumbs.
   Place chicken on baking sheet.
   Bake at 400 degrees about 20 –30 minutes, until no longer pink in center.
   Hint: I put egg in plastic bag, add chicken and squish around until well coated…1 piece at a time place in onion bag and coat chicken. Easy clean up.
   This can easily be doubled or tripled.

   Cola Chicken
   Can be doubled or tripled.
   The Chicken Hot Wings would be ideal for a large party.

   4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
   1 cup catsup

   1 12oz. can cola (pepsi, coke, etc.)

   Put chicken in a non-stick pan. Mix together catsup and cola,
   pour over chicken.
   Bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat and cook 45 minutes. (turning
   chicken a few times, while cooking…to prevent from
   sticking to pan)
   Uncover, turn up the heat and continue to cook until the sauce becomes
   thick and adheres to the chicken.(It turns into the most incredible BBQ sauce. Yummmm!)

   Variations: Omit (or ‘not’)catsup and add a small jar of Salsa.
   Have tried this with Shrimp Cocktail Sauce and using Pop Corn Shrimp…wasn’t bad…but doubt that I’ll make it again.

   Have also made this with chicken wings….adding a package of Hot Wings seasoning to mixture…’good’!

   I have used Ribs, just as good. (made this several times)

   I tried this recipe with ‘meatballs’….was equally
   as good…served over rice.(maybe a meatball sandwich with swiss cheese….slaw?)

   Also have used ‘stew meat’ chunks and served over rice.

   (Personally, I like the ribs best then the chicken wings.)

   4. If desired, spread more Cool Whip on top, or meringue.

   Or a package of unsweetened Cherry Kool-aid.
   Use your favorite Kool-Aid flavor….I don’t know about other flavors….(??)

   Try this roasted chicken. It is easy and delicious. If you need to feed a lot of people you could simply make as many chickens as you need. The more chickens you make, the more drumsticks and wings you will have and many people tend to like these parts the best. So, rather than opt for one large chicken you might be better off getting a few smaller ones anyway.

   This one is my favorite:
   Chicken Tetrazzini

   1 lg. can condensed cream of mushroom soup
   1 lg. can condensed cream of chicken soup
   1 small can chicken broth
   12 oz. box of cooked spagetti
   4 cups diced cooked chicken
   Jar of mushrooms
   *16 oz grated process cheese
   * any kind of cheese you want to use.I use KRAFT FOUR CHEESE

   Blend soups and broth (part milk can be used)
   Stir in cheese;mix with spagetti,chicken,and mushrooms.
   Pour into baking dish ( 3 qt. dish)might need another baking dish
   Sprinkle top with extra cheese and papirika.
   Bake 350 30 minutes until bubbly and brown.
   I usually just bake it long enough for the cheese t melt.About 10-15 minutes.
   Cheese Garlic Biscuits:
   2 c. bisquick
   2/3 c. milk
   1/2 c. grated cheddar cheese
   1/2 c. melted butter
   1/4 tsp. garlic salt
   Mix bisquick,milk and cheddar until a soft ball forms.Beat vigorously for 30 seconds.Drop by balls onto an ungreased baking sheet and bake at 450 degrees for 8-10 minutes.Mix butter and garlic and brush on rolls while still on the pan and hot.

   For the cake look up on Google “Blue Ribbon Banana Cake wth Creamy nut Filling” It should be the one that says free recipes.Click on that one and the recipe will pop up.Its really good.I made it for a bake sale at work and people complemented it .They said they never had cake like that.I even made one for a coworker and she bought it.Cut back on the sugars.If you use all it asks for it will be really sweet.Use your judgement on it.
