When I'm looking for a quick recipe, I go to allrecipes.com. You can find all sorts of recipes including ratings for them. You can also search for recipes using certain ingredients, save recipes to an online account, and even print recipe cards.
take uncooked chicken tenders (thin meat) roll a ball of cream cheese in them. roll them up. take bacon and wrap around. toothpick together. cook 350 degrees for 30-35 minutes. use the grease fat and mix together some peas or brocolli, and use as a pasta sauce on your favorite type of pasta. sounds gross i know. but it is so yummy.
