Potatoe Soup

5-6 large potatoes; cubed Salt, pepper, garlic (2 cloves approx) to taste
Water -(enough water to cover in pot) Turkey bacon bits
1 cup chopped onion
2 cups milk (fat free)
3 chicken bouillon cubes
2 Tbs flour

Cover and cook potatoes. In large frying pan, cook bacon until crisp. Saute onion and garlic in bacon drippings. Drain excess. Add milk, bouillon cubes, salt & pepper, and flour. Mix well and cook, stirring until thickened. Add to potatoes & water and stir well. Simmer 5 - 10 minutes.

**This is a healthy version of potatoe soup I found one time - and we really like it. It takes about 30 minutes total to prepare/cook. It is kind of like french onion and potatoe soup mixed together. Great for fall/winter!

Chicken Fajitas

1/2 cup lime juice 2 chicken breasts, chopped
1/3 cup vegetable oil 3/4 green bell pepper, sliced/cut
1/4 tsp crushed cumin 1/3 onion, sliced/cut
2 cloves minced garlic Toppings as desired:
1/4 tsp salt -cheddar cheese, bl. olives, lettuce, s.cream, etc.
1/8 tsp pepper Tortilla shells

Combine lime juice, oil, cumin, garlic, salt, and pepper in bowl; mix well. Add chicken; stir and marinate for at least 30 minutes (the longer it marinates, the better the flavor). Saute chicken on high for 5 min. or until light brown. Stir in pepper/onion - saute approx. 2-5 mins. longer. Enjoy!

**We really like flavor of the meat, so we don't put salsa or taco sauce on as a topping, but that is, of course, an option for added flavor!

Heavenly Ham Casserole

*I found this recipe on parents.com (great site) we tried it and it was very yummy, good comfort food. For a varation instead of cr. of mushroom use cr. of celery (for those of you who are not mushroom fans). We also added some salt and pepper to taste. Enjoy!

6 med potatoes, sliced thin
1 med. onion chopped
1 lb. ham, cubed
1 cup cheese, shredded (cheddar)
1 can cream of mushroom soup
Paprika

Put 1/2 potatoes, then 1/2 onion, then 1/2 ham and cheese, repeat with rest of potatoes/onions/ham/cheese.
Spread soup over top so air doesn't get to potatoes if possible. Sprinkle with paprika.
Cook on low for 8-10 hours.
