Farmers Market Spaghetti Sauce (Kristi Original)
I went to the farmer's market last weekend and got a bunch of produce. I'm having a hard time getting my little boys to eat ANY vegetables. Therefore I created this sneaky spaghetti sauce to get the boys to eat more vegetables AND to use up my farmer's market produce.
Ingredients
1 Bell Pepper
5-6 Mushrooms
2 Tomatoes
1/4 Red Onion
1 Zucchini
1 Jar Marinara Sauce (I used Trader Joe's Garlic Marinara)
Seasoning to Taste - A shake or 2 of each
Sea Salt
Oregano Flakes
Italian Seasoning
Garlic Powder
Optional
Meat Balls
Shredded Cheese (Cheddar, etc)
Cut up the vegetables. Set aside a little of each to have as chunks in the spaghetti sauce. (Reserve 1/4 pepper, 3 Mushrooms, and 1/4 Zucchini.) Put the remaining vegetables, tomato sauce and seasonings in the blender. Blend, Taste and Adjust as necessary.
Saute the vegetables you set aside until they are cooked. Cook the meat balls. Combine the vegetables, meat balls and the mix from the blender. Cook until it is warm or simmering. Serve over noodles and top with shredded cheese.

Super Easy Chicken Ala King (Kristi Original)
Tonight I got home late, looked in my cupboard and came up with this super easy 'Chicken Ala King' recipe. You could make it healthier with more planning. It was super tasty and the whole family enjoyed it. Here's what I did...
Ingredients
1 Tube of Refrigerator Biscuits
1 Can Chicken
1 Can Cream of Chicken Soup
1/2 Can Milk
2 Cups of Frozen Mixed Veggies
Shredded Cheddar Cheese
Make the biscuits according to the package instructions.
Mix all the remaining ingredients except the cheese in a pot on the stove. Cook until boiling and the veggies are cooked. Once the biscuits are done cut them in half and butter them, if you like. Next top the biscuits with the chicken mixture and sprinkle with cheese. Enjoy.
Ideas to make it healthier or easier
1. Use a healthier biscuit
2. Use chicken breast vs canned chicken
3. Cook the chicken mixture in the crock pot, using whole chicken breasts. Reserve the vegetables. 30 min to 1 hour before serving cut up the chicken and add the vegetables.
