Recipes that came about by chance (and desperation) and now have a permanent place in the file!

EggNog Pancakes

3 c pancake mix (the kind that you just need to add water)
2 1/2 c egg nog
1/2 c water
1 t nutmeg

Combine and cook on a hot griddle - watch closely - with the extra sugar in them, they burn easily.  I keep my electric griddle at about 325 for these ones.


Dad's Eggs - A - Roneous

1 16 oz bag frozen tator tots(or puffs)
1 dozen eggs
1/2 c milk
2 T margarine
1 c grated cheese
salt and pepper to taste

Thaw the tator tots in the microwave.  In a large skillet, nelt margarine.  Cook tator tots in hot margarine over medium heat.  You will want to "smash" them up until they are not in the tator tot shape anymore.  Whip together milk and eggs.  Pour over tator tot mixture and scramble until eggs are set.  Sprinkle with cheese and salt and pepper to taste.  Allow cheese to melt.  Serve with ketchup or salsa.  We have also added leftover ham or mushrooms or peppers to these and used frozen shredded hashbrowns.  Anything goes and everything tastes great! 


Creamy Tomato Noodle Soup - the ultimate in comfort food!

1 box macaroni and cheese prepared according to package directions but in a LARGE saucepan
2 cans condensed tomato soup
1 1/2 c milk
1/2 c grated cheese
salt and pepper to taste

After you have prepared the mac and cheese, add soup and milk.  Stir until well combined.  Add cheese and salt and pepper to taste.  This recipe is quick and ultra easy and really inexpensive to make! 


No Idea What's for Dinner Casserole -
discovered this by accident but my kids LOVED it!

1 16 oz package desired pasta
1 16 oz bag frozen broccoli/cauliflower mix
2 c cooked chicken, chopped
1/4 to 1/2 c bottled Italian salad dressing
2 c shredded mozzarella cheese

Boil pasta and vegetables together until they are tender.  Drain.  Stir in chicken, dressing and cheese.  Heat through and serve. Simple, I know, but they keep asking for it!
