16 oz can cream corn
16 oz can whole kernal corn
1 cup sour cream
2 eggs slightly beaten
2 tsp. sugar
1 stick margarine, melted
1 pkg corn muffin mix (can use mexican style)
2 cups grated cheddar cheese (or 4 cheese mexican)
Combine corns, sour cream, & eggs. Add sugar and butter. Stir in muffin mix and half the cheese. Pour into large ungreased (I spray mine) casserole dish.
Bake at 350 for 35-40 minutes (depends on size of dish, if deep it can take up to an hour) until top is lightly brown. Remove from oven, top with remaining cheese, return to oven just long enough to melt cheese.

Stuffing Baked Chicken
3 boneless chicken breasts
1 stuffing mix (I used italian)
clove of garlic
1/3 c butter
tsp lemon juice or juice from 1/2 fresh lemon (optional)
salt, pepper
preheat oven to 350°
divide stuffing mix in half - set aside 1/2 (prepare other 1/2 as directed cutting other ing. by 1/2)
spray glass pan with pam, add butter and put pan in oven til butter melts, remove pan from oven, chop garlic into butter and add lemon juice if desired, dip both sides of chicken in butter and add to pan. Add salt and pepper (you could also add other herbs here - chopped fresh chives, a sprinkle of oregano...) sprinkle the chicken with the set aside stuffing mix and then sprinkle generously(but not too much) with the good(fresh - not the powdery kind) 3 cheese parmesan/romano/asiago kraft shredded cheese blend. Bake for 40 min to 1hr or more depending on the size of chicken pieces. I have also used bone in breasts before, works great just make sure you cook the chicken long enough. Add a salad, makes a great fairly easy dinner.
Note: I usually like this crunchy - hence no added water once it's all in the pan, If I am sharing with others or not wanting it so crunchy you can add some water up to the amount appropriate for 1/2 pack of stuffing

Chicken Ravioli Soup
I got this from a free walmart calendar. My version went like this: I started with a raw, frozen chicken breast in a small soup pot filled with water, cooked the chicken with a clove of chopped garlic and about 1 small sliced onion, added 1 cube of chicken bouillon, removed the chicken when cooked and pulled it into pieces and returned to the pot. Added two heaping tablespoons of vegetable dip & soup mix, brought to a boil, and added about 12 - 16 cheese ravioli's, turn down to about 3 not all the way to low to simmer til ravioli is done. Was good :)
Tilapia
This is supposedly the fish that Jesus fed the multitudes.
It's also cheap and good lol. Freezer section @ IGA has packages w/~6 filets 4 2.99...
Had it the other night and wanted to do something different ... lol with limited supplies... what? - I wanted some crunch to it somehow. In a glass pan sprayed with pam I spread mayo on each fish filet, then squeezed 1/2 lemon over all three filets. Put some salad croutons in a baggie and used the bottom of a glass to smash them into crumbs, sprinkled over the fish and baked til done. It really was good, we had couscous & sauteed onions & peppers with it. The peppers were frozen and from my mother-in-law's garden. :) mustard mixed with the mayo would have been good too...

Even better Tilapia
Pan Fried Tilapia
4-6 tilapia fillets
3 tablespoons flour
4 tablespoons peanut oil
4 tablespoons butter
1 lemon juiced
1 tablespoon finely chopped parsley
salt and pepper to taste
Season tilapia with salt and pepper. Dust portions lightly with flour.
Sauté the fish in peanut oil until they are nicely browned and cooked all the way through (about 2-3 minutes per side).
When done, remove Tilapia, drain oil, add lemon juice, butter and parsley. Whisk to blend. Pour over Tilapia and serve.
Serves 4.
Did a search for Pan Fried Tilapia and the above recipe was the first one I looked at. I used Olive Oil and didn't have parsley - served it with Fried Green Tomatoes - will post my version of that soon :) and corn sauteed in butter with green pepper, red onion & spinach. Made a great dinner.
