Chicken Pot Pie By: Mom

1/2 cup Mayo
2 Tbsp flour/cornstarch
1 tsp instant chicken bouillon
1/8 tsp pepper
3/4 cup milk
1 1/2 cups cubed chicken
1 pkg. 10 oz frozen mixed vegetables
2 cans crescent rolls

Preheat oven to 375 F. Open one can of crescent and layer the bottom of an 11x7 baking dish. Cook the crescents for about 6 minutes. While the crescents are baking, mix the first 5 ingredients together. Cook the chicken in some olive oil. (DON'T FORGET TO TAKE OUT THE CRESCENTS) Once the chicken is cooked add the mixture and let it thicken. Once it is thickened mix in the frozen vegetables. Then pour it into the pan and layer the top with crescents. Bake at 375 F for 15-20 minutes.

Family-Style Baked Beans

3 cans(16 oz) pork and beans
1 1/2 cups ketchup
1/2 large chopped onion
3 Tbsps brown sugar
3 Tbsps Worcestershire sauce
1 Tbsp white vinegar
1/2 tsp chili powder
squirt of tabasco

Mix all ingredients and you can either cook it on the stove top till it boils or transfer to an ungreased, covered baking dish and bake at 350 F for 30-35 minutes.

This recipe came from Cathy Weidner. It was printed in the Taste of Home bonus book. I like to eat this over rice and make cornbread with it.

Cocoa Rice

1 can coconut milk
2 1/4 cups of rice
1/2 cup Hershey's cocoa
A ton of sugar
16 cups water

Put the rice in a big boiling pan and add approximately 16 cups of water. Bring to a boil on high heat and then turn it down to med-hi heat and continue to boil until rice is done. There should be quite a bit of water still in the pan. While rice is boiling, whisk together coconut milk and Hershey's cocoa. When the rice is done, remove pan from stove and pour in coconut milk, cocoa mixture. Then add enough sugar to your liking ( I usually end up with 3-4 cups of sugar)

Not the healthiest thing to eat, but it sure tastes yummy!

Kalua Pork

This is so yummy and I don't know exactly where the recipe came from.

3 lbs. Pork roast
1 Tbsp rock salt
2 tsp liquid smoke
2 tsp garlic powder
2 cups of water

Mix all the ingredients in a crock pot. Add the roast and cook on high for 1 hour and low 6-8 hours. I usually put mine in frozen and cook on high for 4-5 hours. Then I cut it up into smaller pieces and turn on low for another 3 hours. 1 hour before it is done cooking I will shred the meat to really soak in the juices.

This goes well with cooked cabbage and rice.

Berry Smoothie

3/4 cup frozen blueberries
1 cup frozen tropical mix fruit (from Costco) minus the pineapple
1 frozen really ripe banana (the ones that you would use for banana bread)
1 1/2 Tbsp Sucanat/sugar
1 tsp vanilla
6 oz strawberry yoplait yogurt

Put all of these in a blender and then add as much V8 Splash Smoothie Tropical Colada to the desired consistency. It is sooooo YUMMY!

Hamburgers

Make your own hamburger patties and them sprinkle garlic powder and lemon pepper seasoning on them. Making your own hamburger patties allows them to not be so dry!
