I have to send her ideas and recipes.
Thanks,

Some ideas so far, spaghetti, a Mexicali bake that I do, posted below.
Mexicali Chicken
2 boneless chicken breasts
1/4 cup olive oil
1 can stewed tomatoes or salsa
1 can chili beans
6 oz. frozen corn
2 cups chicken stock
1 1/2 cups rice
shredded cheddar cheese
Cook chicken in olive oil and cut it up or shred. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Pour rice and stock into a baking dish. Place chicken on top, add everything else except for cheese. Cover and bake 30 minutes or until rice is tender (depending upon the kind of rice, it may take longer) Remove foil, add cheese and let it melt. Serve.

Made this tonight for the family. Everyone liked it except DH. Funny how darn picky that man has become since I've gotten him all the good stuff w/coupons. I should go back to just sale shopping. At least then he would eat anything.
