Inside-Out Pot Pie

If you're looking for a fairly easy meal to make, chalked full of vegetables, this is it. It's certainly not a five-star meal, but we had seconds and it was perfect for a weeknight. The ingredients are portioned for a meal for two.

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 tube of biscuits
• Chicken breasts (3), chopped into small pieces
• Mixed vegetables (use about 1-2 cups out of the bag)
• 1 small can of cream of chicken soup (you might not need the full can)

DIRECTIONS:

• Begin cooking biscuits according to directions on tube.
• Meanwhile in pot, cook chicken breasts.
• After chicken is mostly cooked, add in vegetables and cream/chicken soup. Cook (covered) for about five additional minutes, stirring occasionally.

TO SERVE:

• This works best in individual servings. Place one biscuit (I chose to cut mine in half) on a plate and top with the mixture in the pot.

Spinach-Artichoke Pasta

INGREDIENTS:

• Butter
• Baby Spinach (2 bags)
• 2 cans artichoke hearts
• Noodles (Fettucine, Penne, etc.)- cooked
• 3 cups milk
• 2 tbsp flour
• Salt and Pepper to taste
• 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese
• 2 cups Mozzarella cheese
• Chicken Broth

DIRECTIONS:

• In large cooking pot, heat up 1 tbsp butter and add spinach. Cook until spinach just starts to wilt. Remove and place in a separate bowl.
• Heat another tablespoon of butter in original pot and cook artichoke hearts for about 2-3 minutes. Place on a separate plate.
• Heat another tbsp of butter, add flour, milk, salt, and pepper. Whisk together for 2-4 minutes.
• Add Parmesan and Mozzarella cheese to the mixture. Whisk together.
• If mixture is too thick, add chicken broth until it reaches the desired consistency.
• Add artichoke hearts to the mixture, followed by drained noodles, and spinach.

Pizza Quesadillas

These worked great for a Superbowl snack/dinner. They were quick to make and turned out as good and simple as I was hoping!

INGREDIENTS:

• 4 large tortillas
• Pepperoni Slices (about 32 total)
• 1 bag of shredded mozarella cheese (or a Mexican blend)
• 1 can of Pizza Sauce

DIRECTIONS:

• Cut each tortilla in half, making a total of 8 tortillas.
• Layer each slice with a thin layer of pizza sauce, a handful of shredded cheese, and 4 pepperoni slices.
• Fold in half and cook each side for 2-5 minutes.
