There you have it, 5 possible entries for this beautiful cookbook 🙂 Have a great weekend!!
Welcome to my online kitchen! Picky Palate is where you’ll find family friendly recipes along with the best Disney eats, tips and copycat recipes! 
Our can of everything dinner is ground beef cooked with a chopped onion and green bell pepper, can of drained corn, can of mexican style tomatoes, can of drained kidney beans, and a can of drained sliced olives. Add everything once the meat is browned and drained and heat thoroughly. Serve with tortilla or corn chips and a dollop of sour cream.
Goodness, forgot you can add a cup of any cooked pasta and a little shredded cheese to this and it’s terrific.
Any type of pasta, so quick and easy to put together.
I am also now following Jane’s blog. 🙂
My go-to is probably homemade mac and cheese. If even that is too much, then it’s breakfast for dinner!
Chicken & dumplings. Make up a recipe of biscuts (what, five minutes?), take some of my leftover shredded chicken from the freezer (always make extra chicken for easy meals later), pour in some canned broth or cream of chicken soup, bake for fifteen minutes. Even put in some vegetables if you want. One of my favorites.
I’m also a follower of both of your blogs.
Mexican Casserole. I usually have the ingredients all on hand and making it is a snap!
tuna melts… quick and yum! 🙂
Our go-to meal on super busy nights is chicken tacos!
Go-to dinner is definitely pasta. Can’t get quicker than pasta, it’s easy to make even with a toddler underfoot, and everyone likes it.
Our go-to meal for the weeknights is “spaghetti al pomodoro”!

Great giveaway! My ‘go to’ dinner on busy weeknights or even during the weekend is my Bisquick Reduced Fat Chicken Pot Pie! It’s so delicious and easy to make!
I am a foodie friend!
Chicken breast and rice w/ caramelized onions mixed in.
It takes seriously 20 mins to make and it is soooo yummy. I never gt sick of it
Our go to meal is grilled hamburgers which is great because my husband grills while I get other things done!
On busy nights I cook Mex-Fest. Just make some taco meat, and those who want nachos can make those, those who want soft tacos can make those, and those who want taco salad can do that also. That way I just cook up one quick pan of seasoned hamburger, and everyone can use it they way they like it best.
I’m also a Foodie Friend.
My go-to dinner is shoyu chicken. Just boil up some chicken in a sauce of soy sauce, sugar, garlic, ginger, green onions, and water. Serve with rice and canned veggies and you’re done. Quick and delicious.
My to-go to meals are spaghetti and Hawaiian Haystacks. Super fast, easy, and filling, and cheap!
I already follow Make Ahead Meals blog.

A quick go-to meal here is spaghetti or take out pizza! 😉
Potatoes and Corn… Wash, pierce and nuke 5-10 small red potatoes until slightly overdone and wrinkled. Use a fork to smash/cut the potatoes into bite sized chunks. Place pats of butter liberally on the potatoes. Open a can of Niblet’s Corn and drain, then dump directly onto potatoes. Use desired amount of Ranch Salad Dressing and Lawry’s seasoned salt to finish it off. It really is yummy. My family loves it!
