The ideas this week are great – I just got a new crock pot and am wondering about crockpot recipes such as the lasagna and the stroganoff?

This is the link for Asian-Inspired Sloppy Joes. It’s quick and easy, really good, kids like it. There’s cabbage in it but even people who don’t like cabbage like this. The recipe is at the end of the article. The length of the recipe makes it seem complicated but it really isn’t.
cori – thanks for the recipe!
rynell and kristen – better share your crockpot recipes…that’s my mother-in-law asking, and we need to keep her happy. she’s so mean. 🙂 (just kidding mimi!!!)
again, bravo, everyone – love love the menus!
oh, and maria, I’ll need to try that asian sloppy joe recipe for sure. nate hates it when I whip out the manwich, so this would be a welcome change!
Hey! No menu this week because I’m boycotting the grocery store.
Not really…just don’t want to go!
Chicken Murphy is an Italian dish. You can make it with some sausage thrown in, too. Its chunks of floured chicken, onions, sauteed. The sauce is made from the “juice” in a jar of peperoncini and chicken broth. Throw in some of the peppers. Top with fried “diced” potatoes.
I can give you a better more specific recipe if you want!
Just email me mcgearstella at gmail dot com
Another easy, kid-friendly recipe is this particular Minestrone Soup recipe from Epicurious. My kids are not vegetable eaters but they like this, and it has 10 vegetables in it. Trader Joe’s has a 1/4 pack of pancetta cut just to the right size. Serve it with French/Italian bread and some sort of salami or salty cheese.

Another fast and easy favorite of mine:
Easy Easy Spaghetti and Meatballs
2 cups purchased chunky tomato pasta sauce
(I use two large jars, which is more than 2 cups)
1/2 pound ground turkey
3/4 cup fresh breadcrumbs made from crustless Italian bread
2 3/4 tablespoons purchased pesto
1 egg white
1/4 teaspoon salt
8 ounces spaghetti
preparation
Spread 1 cup pasta sauce over bottom of heavy medium skillet.
Mix turkey, breadcrumbs, pesto, egg white and salt in medium bowl. Using moistened hands, form mixture into 8 meatballs. Place meatballs in single layer in sauce.
Spoon remaining sauce over. Bring to simmer. Cover; reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until meatballs are cooked through, stirring occasionally, about 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, cook pasta in large pot of boiling salted water until just tender but still firm to bite. Drain pasta; divide between bowls. Top with meatballs and sauce.
