I haven't had shake-n-bake in YEARS! Probably when I lived at home and my mom made it! Sounds good 
I threw a head of cabbage, a gob of fresh green beans, a bell pepper, 10 red potatoes, an onion, and 2 lbs of polish sausage in my big pot. Sort of a green bean stew..........and it was YUM-MAY!
I hope my 19 year old doesn't get home and wipe it out cause I want some for leftovers at lunch tomorrow! LOL

I made myself an omlett last night, and oh my god it was SO good. =) My parents had kale, and that like the worst thing you can make me eat, so this is what I made:
-I pre-cooked some pasta (About a cup of pre-cooked pasta per person)
-Eggs
-Olives
-tomatoes
-onions
-dried tomatoes
-parmasan
-salt and pepper to taste
1) chop everything first! lol
2) sautee the onions along with the dried tomatoes.
3) put in eggs and scramble (or scramble them before you put them in, which ever you perfer)
4) throw in the noodles.
Add salt and pepper to taste and ENJOY.
Even though it only takes like 15 minutes and really doesn't ask for cooking skills its SO GOOD!
3) through in the rest of the veggies and cheese

A great, no-fuss roast
My family loves this, and of course there are many variations. I use a large crockpot.
I put any roast (we love a good blade pork roast) in the crockpot in the morning, pour 2-3 cups of any good lightly sweet wine over, set to low, add a few potatoes and cook all day. About 20 minutes before dinner I add 5-6 cloves of fresh garlic through my garlic press, salt & pepper to taste. Sometimes I thicken the sauce with a little flour or corn starch. I usually serve it with a salad. (A professional chef once told me that fresh garlic or tomatoes should not be added until the last 20 minutes or less or they will turn bitter.)
My husband and sons don't like traditional stew or most cooked vegetables, so this is a great alternative. They do like salads. I experiment with different wines. I also experiment with different spices. I will often add a pinch or two of cloves. This is a real flavor enhancer. Another addition I use in the fall is pumpkin, either canned or fresh, fresh goes in from the start, canned can be added later.
Delicious!

One of my all time favorites..........it's in the top FIVE!
Don't laugh.................
TUNA NOODLE CASSEROLE!! I know, most of you will say YUCK, but I love this stuff and I will probably eat too much
I bake it with lots of cheese and crumbled cheap potato chips (the kind with lots of salt and grease) all over the top...........OH MAN! I just made my tummy gurgle in anticipation

That sounds tasty! I have a couple racks of ribs in the back freezer......Hmmmmm, maybe tomorrow
Tonight I am once again taking the easy way out and making hot roast beef sandwiches with cheddar cheese sauce (similar to Arby's but WAY better), I also toss some green chilies in my cheese sauce for a little added flavor.
