Crepes!
鈥?1 1/2 cups milk
鈥?3 egg yolks
鈥?2 tablespoons vanilla extract
鈥?1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
鈥?2 tablespoons sugar
鈥?1/2 teaspoon salt
鈥?5 tablespoons melted butter
1. In a large bowl, mix together the milk, egg yolks and vanilla. Stir in the flour, sugar, salt and melted butter until well blended.
2. Heat a crepe pan over medium heat until hot. Coat with vegetable oil or cooking spray. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the pan and tip to spread the batter to the edges. When bubbles form on the top and the edges are dry, flip over and cook until lightly browned on the other side and edges are golden. Repeat with remaining batter.
3. Fill crepes with your favorite fruit, cream, caramel or even ice cream or cheese to serve.
If you want an easy filling for your crepes you can just cut some green apples into slices and cook them in butter with brown sugar and some cinammon. :)

7. CATALINA CHICKEN:
From DontH8Me
http://www.city-data.com/forum/recipes/2鈥?/a>
';Catalina Chicken from the thighs and legs - separate them and skin them before baking to keep the fat down, if you prefer. The recipe I use is typically for a whole chicken, so I would substitute 4 - 5 legs and thighs in this case.
Take the cleaned pieces and put them in a rectangular glass baking dish. Mix one small or 1/2 large bottle of Catalina Island French salad dressing with one envelope of Lipton's French Onion Soup Mix. At this stage, depending on your preference, you could add to the pan of chicken any of the following: Onions, 1 inch dice, red/green/yellow bell pepper, 1 inch dice, and/or pineapple tidbits. Pour the sauce mix over the whole thing and swirl it around to coat all the pieces. Cover with foil to keep moist.
Bake in a 375 degree oven until the chicken juices run clear. You will want to make a batch of fluffy rice or mashed potatoes to soak up the delicious sauce from the chicken bake. My family loves this recipe and it takes less than 5 minutes to prep.';
8. Campbell's Tasty 2-Step Chicken-5 Star recipe:

Other favorites:
Frozen dinners from supermarket. Buy only the top brands such as the dinners in the red boxes that say ';No preservative';. Make sides dishes of frozen vegetables that come in bags.
Canned stew.
Canned soups.
Stir fry vegetables. I like yellow/green/red bell peppers, mushrooms, sliced red onion, garlic powder, salt, pepper (I like cracked pepper found in glass jars with the special top for craacking the peppers), and you can add anything else you like. Makes a great lunch.
Pre sealed precooked meats such as pot roasts, baked ham, chicken, meatloaf, roasts with gravy, the list goes on and on. Ask a clerk to help you find these packages in the cold sections (not the freezer).

BROWNIES!!!!!!!!!!!!! Take a basic brownie recipe and have fun adding extras to it. I add pecans,marshmallows, some shredded coconut, and chocolate chunks. Then when I pull it out of the oven top them with carmel sauce. let it cool and then serve. You can also toast the pecans and coconut if you are THAT bored it tastes sooooo much better. I call them ';everything but the kitchen sink'; brownies. Hmmmmm...... I think I am going to go make some brownies now..
