Whats For Dinner Tonite??

As I figure out how to organize my posts better I would like to have a section all its own called "whats for dinner" I run hot and cold with my dinners. Sometimes they are well planned out for the week and creative and different. Sometimes its the same boring stuff. But like I said I want to try to make at least one or two new recipes a week. I made this one maybe last year and it was good!
CRANBERRY CHICKEN (from Autumn in the Country cookbook)
2 T oil
4-6 boneless chicken breasts
1 onion sliced
1/2 cup ketchup (i remember last time i didnt like this taste so I'm leaving it out this time)
8oz can whole berry cranberry sauce
2T brown sugar packed
1 T worcestershire sauce
-Heat oil in skillet cook chicken till golden on both sides. remove chicken and place in lightly greased baking dish. Add onion to skillet cook 3-5 minutes. Add remaining ingredients and heat thru. Pour mixture on top of chicken and bake 20-25 minutes.

Wild Rice and Mushrooms (this serves 10-12 i will cut it down maybe by half)
10 1/2 oz can beef consomme
10 1/2 oz can french onion soup
2 1/4 cups water
1/2 cup melted butter
It calls for a can of sliced mushrooms, I'm not a fan so i will use fresh
1 cup long cooking wild rice uncooked
1 cup long cooking brown rice uncooked
-combine all ingredients in a slow cooker, stir well. cook on low 7-8 hrs until rice is tender.

Apple and Sweet Potato Bake
4 cups apples peeled and sliced
4 cups sweet potatoes peeled and sliced (i will probably use two large ones)
2 t onions (really? who chops two teaspoons of onions?- may use like a quarter of an onion)
3/4 cup apple juice
3/4 cup maple syrup (may leave that out)
1/2 cup melted butter
12 brown and serve pork breakfast sausage (I just bought a regular package of it, and will use have i didn't buy the links or patties- you could leave it out if needed)
-layer apples sweet potatoes and onion in a casserole dish and set aside. combine juice syrup and butter and pour over layered mixture. cover and bake 350 oven for an hour. arrange sausages on top and bake for another 15-20 minutes or until sausage is browned. serves 6.

I hope you enjoy these recipes. I don't know what I will fix tonite. Possibly even both. Enjoy!
