Easy Albondigas (Mexican Meatball Soup)

December 12th , 2005

2 dozen frozen meatballs (already made!! no fuss)
1 large onion, chopped
1 family size can of Tomato soup (or 2 small cans)
1.5 family size cans of water (or 3 small cans)
1 can of diced tomatoes w/ peppers (or jar of salsa)
1 can corn
crushed garlic (optional)

Combine all ingredients in slow cooker. The longer it cooks, the better the meatballs soak up the juices and flavors. Minimum of 4 hours cook time. Top with crumbled tortilla chips if you like. Without the chips, it's a great low-fat healthy lunch... and tastes great reheated in the microwave (if you have leftovers!!)

Turkey Salad

December 1 st , 2005

So great for leftover turkey!!  I make this all the time with leftover turkey or chicken.  I don’t have any exact amounts, it depends on how much meat you have.  You just keep adding stuff in till it looks and tastes good!

 Chop your turkey or chicken and place in a mixing bowl.  Mix in mayonnaise, mustard, chopped onion and/or celery (if desired), relish, seasonings like Mrs. Dash, garlic powder or whatever you like.  Great by itself, served with sliced veggies-n-dip and fresh fruit.  Also good as an open-faced sandwich: spread turkey salad on a slice of bread, top with a slice of cheese and place under the broiler for a couple of minutes.

 Have a delicious recipe that’s quick and easy to make?  Let me know!  Email me at robin@whif.org.
