For topping:

1 (8.5-oz) package corn-muffin mix

2. Add chicken and brown, then add tomatoes, corn, chili powder, salt, and pepper to skillet and cook 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Pour into the pie pan, and top with grated cheese.

Mini-Fish Burgers
These burgers are a great way to introduce fish; letting kids make the patties and assemble the burgers can increase appeal.

PREP: 20 minutes
TOTAL TIME: 40 minutes
Serves: 4 to 6
Cooking spray
1 lb fillet of cod, sea bass, or any firm white fish
1/2 tsp salt
Pepper to taste
1 cup canned white beans
1/2 cup fresh parsley leaves
1/4 cup bread crumbs
1 egg, beaten
Mini–whole-wheat buns or rolls
Romaine lettuce
Tomato slices
Tartar sauce


1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Spritz baking pan with cooking spray, and add fish. Season with 1/4 tsp salt and pepper to taste. Bake until flaky, 7 to 10 minutes. Remove fish from oven; leave oven on.
2. In a food processor, puree white beans, parsley, 1/4 tsp salt, and bread crumbs. Process for 1 minute. (If you don't have a processor, use a potato masher instead.) Place bean mixture into a large bowl with the egg; crumble in fish. Gently mix with your hands until it's incorporated. Then form into 8 small patties.
3. Coat an ovenproof skillet with cooking spray and put over medium heat. Add burgers. Cook until brown on one side, about 5 minutes. Flip cakes carefully, and place in oven for 5 minutes.
4. Serve on mini-buns with lettuce, tomatoes, and tartar sauce.

Quickie-side suggestion: Try oven-roasted sweet potatoes. Slice peeled potatoes into 1/4-inch rounds. Season with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Bake for 20 minutes at 375°F, stirring occasionally, until golden brown.

oooh my absolute Grandma's recipe when i was a kid was mini pizzas, but not just any mini pizzas. She took English Muffins, then used them as the crust, obviously haha. Then take spaghetti sauce or pizza sauce and spread on it. Then top it with any cheese, even cheddar is tasty. Then you can add any veggies, ham, pepperoni, pineapple, or just eat them plain

They're sooo delicious.


Orrrr my other favorite (but its a little breakfast-y) is Toad in a hole. You cut a small circle out of a piece of bread (like maybe 3 inches across) then butter both sides. Then you put the bread down in a pan and turn on the heat. Immediately crack and egg and drop it in the hole. Let it cook until the egg gets more solid and bread browns on the bottom. Then flip it over and finish cooking. I know this is strange but I would put jelly on it and it was the best ever! And the most delicious anytime food really.
