Chicken Angelo
1 Cup fresh mushrooms, sliced, OR 2 cans sliced mushrooms
4 lg. chicken breast halves, skinned
2 eggs, beaten
2 tbsp. butter
3/4 c. chicken broth
1 c. bread crumbs
6 oz. Mozzarella cheese, sliced
Place half the mushrooms in a 9 x 13-inch pan. Dip chicken into beaten eggs; roll in bread crumbs. Melt butter and brown chicken on both sides. Place chicken on top of mushrooms and arrange rest of mushrooms on chicken. Top with the cheese. Add the chicken broth to pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 to 45 minutes, or until chicken is done.
Rating: Everyone liked this, It was easy. I used fresh mushrooms, and boneless skinless chicken thighs. I made fried zucchini using the leftover egg dip and crumbs, and served it with ranch dressing. The kids liked this too. Rating 7 starts out of 10

Thursday: Favorite Casserole (pork), Green Salad
Favorite Casserole
1/2 lb bulk sausage
2 Tbsp chopped onion
1 clove garlic, minced
2 cups no egg yolk dry noodles, cooked
1 cup fat free cottage cheese
1 cup fat free milk
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1 cup fat free cheddar cheese, shredded
3/4 cup egg substitute or 2 eggs mixed well
Brown sausage, onions and garlic in skillet. Drain off drippings. In a large bowl, mix all ingredients except cheddar and egg. Pour into a greased 8X12 baking dish. Add cheddar to eggs and pour over casserole. Bake uncovered at 350 for 45-50 min until bubbly and browned.
I also will add a green salad to this dinner.
Result: Kids liked it a lot, they say 3.5 to 4.0 stars out of 5 (which is pretty high score) I thought it was a little salty, I used the store made "country sausage", because I couldn't find the unflavored ground pork. But the family liked it.

Wednesday: Zucchini Hamburger Bake, Garlic Toast
Zucchini Hamburger Bake
1 lb ground beef
1 small onion, chopped
1/4 tsp pepper
2 Cups pizza sauce
1/2 cup raw long grain rice
4 Cups zucchini, peeled and cubed
1 1/2 Cups water
3/4 Cups mozzarella cheese, grated
In a large skillet or stockpot, brown hamburger and onion together. Drain off drippings. Season meat and onion with pepper.
Add remaining ingredients, except cheese, and stir together. Cover and simmer over low heat until rice is soft, approximately 35-45 min.
Top with cheese and allow to melt before serving.
Garlic toast
I just used frozen garlic toast as a side
Result: The rice took a long time to cook, next time I will use instant brown rice. Also, not a lot was eaten, it was good, but the kids just didnt seem to like the rice , pizza sauce, and zucchini mix
