For mashed potatoes, fresh or instant, I add a spoonful of cream cheese.

Canned pea soup, a drop or two of Worcestershire sauce.

One family sized tomato soup

One bag of frozen soup veggies.

I have a recipie for a margarita salmon parmesian, using a microwave and toaster oven that you would swear came from the kitchen of a 5 star resturant.

chop some uncooked bacon into small bits and toss them in a wide skillet or wok (medium high).......while the fat is coming out, dice some yellow onion. When the bacon bits begin to crisp add the onion.

Once the onion begins to soften and caramelize, toss in a few big handfuls of frozen whole grean beans (5lb bags at Sams club).

The beans will turn light when the bacon fat freezes to them......this is temporary.

Toss over high heat until the beans are warmed through; sprinkle with lemon juice and salt to taste.

These are very simple, quick, and really awesome.

A lot of people don't realize how important it is to saute your minced veggies before adding them to the meat mixture (with the oil)........perhaps some minced apple will find its way into my next loaf.

Where did you get your knowledge/recipies?

Just curious.......

Love

Aaaawww...
