Do you guys eat SAD - pretty much anything? A huge hit here was to make a white sauce and cook some mixed veggies and add cooked chicken meat pieces and serve over egg noodle pasta

Cheese ravioli (from frozen food section of grocery store) with homemade marinara

Marinara
2 cans diced tomatoes, blended in blender until smooth
1 can chicken broth
1 clove of garlic, smashed
granulated onion
salt
pepper
oregano
basil -either fresh or dried

Bring all ingredients to a boil and then turn down to simmer and let simmer until it becomes thick. Discard garlic clove. Serve over ravioli or pasta.

This is easy and my kids love it:

Chicken noodle soup with dumplings: http://gentlechristianmothers.com/co...with+dumplings

Chicken Chili
(crockpot version although you can make it on the stovetop using the same method but bring to boil, cover and lower to simmer until chicken is cooked through, about an hour makes really tender, fall-apart chicken)

3 chicken breasts (I take them straight out of the freezer individually frozen solid, I hate working with raw meat :shiver)
2 cans great northern beans, undrained
2 cans pinto beans, undrained
2 cans green enchilada sauce
1 can corn, drained
1 can chicken broth
1 can rotel
Season with salt, pepper, granulated garlic, granulated onion, chili powder and cumin.
Toppings: crushed tortilla chips, shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream and a squeeze of lime, we've done cilantro sometimes, too, if we have it on hand

Throw it all in the crockpot (except the toppings) and set on high for about four hours. Remove chicken and dice and add back to the pot. Serve with toppings. I can get this in the crockpot in five minutes and then take another five minutes to get the toppings prepped and the soup served. I love this on busy days. And for us, we can eat this for two meals.
