Menus Need Recipes

The other day at lunch, some friends and I were discussing blogs. Something got said about my other blog "Musing & Meanderings". LB said I should create a menu blog, but I think it needs to include recipes as well. So this is my first attempt.

Saturday Night's Menu --

Chicken in the Jug
Cheesy Grits
Green Bean Casserole
Crescent Rolls
Chocolate Chunk Cookies

Chicken in the Jug

6 boneless chicken breasts
1 stick butter, melted
1/3 cup Worcestershire sauce
3 Tablespoons lemon juice

Place chicken in 1 1/2 quart baking dish with lid. Mix remaining ingredients and pour over chicken. Place lid on casserole and bake in preheated 350 degrees for 45 mins or until chicken is tender, but not dry.

Cheesy Grits

3 cups water
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup quick cook grits
6 oz. cheese (I used a blend of cheddar and cheddar/jack)
2 eggs, beaten
add enough milk to eggs to equal 1 cup
1 stick butter
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

Cook grits in salted water according to package directions. Melt butter. Mix all ingredients until cheese is melted and mixture is smooth. Pour into a greased 1 1/2 quart casserole. Bake at 350 for 40 minutes.

Green Bean Casserole

2 15 oz. cans cut green beans (I use no salt added)
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1 large can French's fried onion rings

Drain beans. Mix together beans, soup and 1/2 can of onion rings. Spoon into a greased 1 1/2 quart casserole. Bake 25 minutes at 350. Top with remaining onion rings and bake an additional 5 minutes.

Crescent rolls are self explanatory and the cookies where frozen from a school fundraiser. Easy peasy!
