Chicken Pesto Stuffed Shells
I love Pinterest. I have found so many great recipes there. This is one of my favorites.
12-16 jumbo pasta shells
4 oz cream cheese, softened
1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
3 tbl Pesto
2 cups shredded cooked chicken
Garlic, Salt, & Pepper to taste
Cook pasta as directed on box, although don't cook until completely soft. They will finish when you bake them.
In a large bowl, combine all of the other ingredients. Fill the shells with the filling and place in a baking dish. Sprinkle some parmesan cheese over the top and bake at 350 for 30 minutes.
Also great for freezing.....

Fried Potatoes and Hamburger
This may sound disgusting to you but it is one of my childhood favorites. Super easy and good.
1 lb hamburger (cooked and drained)
3-4 potatoes (peeled and cut into thin ovals)
1/2 cup onion
butter
In a large frying pan cook the onion, butter, and potatoes until done. It takes 30 minutes or so. I like my potatoes somewhat crispy, but whatever you prefer. When the potatoes are almost to your liking add in the hamburger and cook for another 10-15 minutes. Serve with ketchup. Yum!

Chocolate Chip Cookies
Shhh...don't tell anyone it is the recipe on the bag of the Nestle Chocolate Chip Bag.
2 1/4 cups Flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
1 cup butter (softened - not melted)
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
3/4 cup sugar
1 tsp vanilla
2 eggs
2 cups chocolate chips
In a small bowl mix the flour, soda, and salt. Cream the butter, sugar, and vanilla. Add in one egg at a time and mix. Gradually beat in flour mixture. Jodi's addition: If the dough is too sticky and greasy, add some more flour. If they are too sticky the cookies will go flat. The other option is to refrigerate the dough for an hour or so - this always helps.
Bake for 9-11 minutes on 375 - don't over cook.
