Kelly Watts' S.L.O.P. recipe reminded me of a concoction I came up while in college (NAU) -- its a tuna and rice stove-top casserole with the tuna taste toned down by cream of chicken soup.
one box chicken-flavored rice (it was MJB at the time, don't know if it's still around) - make according to directions
one can tuna (drained)
one can cream of chicken soup
when the rice is done, add the drained tuna and condensed soup, combine well, then let sit about 5 minutes (it's a little on the salty side, but that could be addressed by using reduced sodium soup)
A reader has requested some salsa recipes. I like salsa, but usually just mix some mild and hot bottled stuff (like Pace picante and the hot sauce from ElRancho). Anyone have any recipes for salsa they'd like to share? BTW -- Kelly and Coyote the recipes for S.L.O.P. and pineapple stuffing sounded great -- The stuffing sounds like it would be good with baked pork chops too.
We recently had a potluck at the Roundup office and my Rim Review co-editor brought this fantastic no-cook dish:
Carol’s Berry Cream Cheese Pie 1 ready-made crumb crust (graham, chocolate, shortbread, etc.) 1 brick cream cheese, softened 1, 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk 1/4 cup or to taste lemon juice 1/2 cup berries of your choice Thoroughly combine the cream cheese with the milk, lemon juice and berries and pour into ready-made crumb crust. Chill until set.
Now we'd like to hear from you. If you have something similar to these dishes or totally different, so long as they are relatively "cooking free" please share them here.
To get things started, I’ll share my family’s all-time favorite no-cook dish. We call it “Orange Stuff” — it is a gelatin and fruit dish with whipped topping and cottage cheese, and occasionally pecans and flaked coconut.
I imagine it can be easily modified into “Strawberry; Cherry; Lemon-Lime; Blueberry” or any other such “Stuff.” Using sugar- and fat-free ingredients makes it on the low calorie side, but doesn’t change the taste, which is both rich and refreshing.
I’d like to hear who has other no-cook recipes we can enjoy during the remaining days of summer.
Teresa’s Orange Stuff 4-serving size box of sugar-free orange flavored gelatin 8-ounce tub sugar-free whipped topping 16-ounce carton fat-free cottage cheese 1, 20-ounce can of crushed pineapple, in its own juice, drained 2, 11-ounce cans mandarin oranges, drained 1 to 1-1/2 cups chopped pecans (optional) 1/2 to 1 cup flaked coconut (optional) Combine whipped topping and cottage cheese, stirring gently so topping holds, add gelatin crystals and stir again to combine well. Drain fruits and add to topping mixture (add pecans and/or coconut at this time as well). Stir to combine and chill for at least 30 minutes to set.
This is a new feature, where readers can share their favorite recipes and cooking tips and ask questions — and I will do the same. Cooking and collecting recipes is one of my favorite hobbies and if it is one of yours I’d love to hear from you. If you are interested in having your recipes/tips published, just indicate at the end of your entry that publication is welcome.
