Items Needed:
2 -Pre-made refrigerated Pie Crust
1 1/2 cups Chicken cooked and chopped
1 can Cream of Chicken Soup
1 can Chicken Broth
1 bag frozen mixed vegetables

Bake as directed for Pie crust.

This dish is an easy, 30 minute or less, 1 pan meal. Right up my alley. This is something that I can whip up fast, and choose to cook it rather than take out.

Items Needed:
Peppers of Choice Sliced
Potatoes Diced
Polish (Keilbasa) Sausage
Oil (I always use Olive)
Seasonings of choice ( I used Garlic, salt, pepper.)

* You will see from the picture I am using Turkey Smoke Sausage. Any type of Sausage link would work according to your taste*

1.Toss Peppers, Potatoes, and sausage with oil and seasonings.
2. Spread evenly into baking pan.
3. Cover with foil, bake at 400 for about 20 minutes or until potatoes are softened.

I love a good breakfast. I have tried the Jimmy Deans DLights breakfast bowls and like them, however they can get expensive. So, I started making my own and freezing it.

Items Needed:
Eggs (I use about 6-8)
Frozen Hashbrowns diced
Diced red & green bell pepper
Turkey sausage crumbles

Scramble the eggs in a pan.
In a seperate pan, cook the hashbrowns, sausage, and peppers.
Combine and sprinkle cheese on top.

Divide into portion sized servings and freeze.

This also is great wrapped in a tortilla for a breakfast burrito.

I love Spinach. I always purchase a big thing of fresh baby spinach leaves when I am shopping. I use them in Green Smoothies, chop up and have in a salad, and even sneak them into casseroles and lasagnas!

But what about cooked spinach all by itself? It really is yummy. If you cook it the right way, it is a yummy side dish.

WIC items needed:
Fresh Spinach Leaves
(Washed and patted dry)

Non WIC items:
2 tbs oil
Garlic (if using a whole clove slice it)

1. Heat oil over medium in pan

2. Add in Garlic and saute for 1-2 minutes

3. Reduce heat to low and add in spinach leaves. Cook for about 2-3 minutes flipping and stirring the spinach often until wilted through.

– The Spinach will cook down, so add more than you think–

I am a sucker for one pan meals. However, we don’t do the store bought Hamburger Helper in this house. This is our version of those boxed meals, and it really takes just as little time and clean up, and you save yourself all the preservatives.

For this recipe you will need:

3 chicken breasts halved (I’m talking about making it thinner, not cutting it in half length wise) and cut into 1 inch pieces
Broccoli
Mushrooms
Cheese (I use 3 slices of white American)
Balsamic Vinegar
*Any complimentary Vegetables you would like to add

1. Heat your skillet and Balsamic Vinegar until bubbly

2. Add in cut up chicken. Cook until white, about 3 – 5 minutes

3. Add in your vegetables

4. Cook until Chicken is cooked throughout and vegetables are fork tender

5. Take off heat, melt cheese on top

6. Enjoy.

You can see how incredibly easy this is. It tastes good too, and my kids love this. I tend to always use broccoli and whatever vegetables I have on hand. Onions, mushrooms, peppers, cauliflower…etc

I found this creative idea on the Disney Family website. I thought it was so cute, and quite a healthy treat, so we made some ourselves last night.

My kids love apples with peanut butter, so I knew this would be a win! It is so simple and would be great for a school party (unless you have peanut butter allergies, then find a substitute like honey?)

Simply slice your apple, I used my handy slicer/corer that I LOVE. Then I sliced each wedge in half to make them a bit thinner so they would not be too heavy and weigh down on the marshmallows.

Spread a little peanut butter on 1 side of each wedge. Then sandwich your marshmallows in between 2 slices with the peels facing out for lips!

Ingredients Needed:
Bell Pepepers pitted & De-seeded
2 Cups Cooked Rice
Browned Ground meat (I use Turkey)
Diced onion
Cheddar Cheese Shredded

Mix Cooked rice, onion, and browned meat together in bowl. Stir in half of the cheese. Spoon mixture into peppers.

Place peppers into sprayed crockpot, cook on low for 4 hours or until peppers are tender throughout. Sprinkle remaining cheese on top of peppers and let melt.

*Optional If your peppers need a little moisture, we mixed in some salsa!*

Not sure how much this recipe is a WIC food recipe… the only WIC food included is a banana. However, being summer I could not resist posting this one. I am sure it is something everyone will enjoy.

I found this recipe here, you can check out the details.

Slice a banana long ways, fill with marshmallows & chocolate chips. Wrap in foil, and either grill or bake in over until melted!

This week’s WIC recipe is a great side dish for a cook out! Very healthy, light, and easy!

I found the original recipe in an issue of Paula Deen Magazine, but decided to tweak it a bit to what I had on hand. That is the wonders of recipes, make them to what you already have on hand.

Paula’s recipe called for the following cans of beans:
Kidney, Garbonzo, Green, Yellow Wax, Black

Here is how I made my salad:

1 can of each drained:
Green Beans
Yellow Wax
Black Beans
Pimentos

I simply added them all to a bowl, and tossed in a Vinaigrette dressing.

*Tip – if you are not down with eating chilled beans, try heating it up a bit, sprinkle with some cheese, and spread over a tortilla*
