Easy Chicken Parmigan

When I make this dish my hubby thinks it's seriously gourmet...which of course I know is not, but it's seriously easy and can be made in a moments notice, with things we always have on hand!

1 lb penne noodles
2 jars Prego-we like the one flavored with meat
4 frozen chicken patties
shredded mozzerella cheese

Boil your noodles. Put the chicken in oven on suggested time/temp on bag. Heat Prego up on stovetop.

When noodles are done pour Prego into noodles, stir to coat. Put pasta on plate, topped with chicken and then mozzerella cheese.

Crystal's Crispy Chocolate-Chip Cookies

I came across this totally by accident. I started making a recipe off the back of the chocolate chip bag and then another. Somehow I came up with these. They were really crispy when you cooked them just right. They were yummy and will stay in my cookie recipe box!

2 1/4 cup flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 1/4 cups packed brown sugar
1 cup (2 sticks) butter or margarine softened
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
2 Tbsp milk
2 tsp vanilla
2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 375.
Combine flour, baking soda, and salt in small bowl. Beat butter and sugars in another bowl until creamy. Add eggs, milk and vanilla. Gradually beat in flour mixture. Stir in choco chips, mix well. Drop by rounded tablespoon (I used small ice cream scoop and put on waxed paper lined pan). Bake 9-10 minutes for chewy cookies or 12-13 for a crisper cookie. Cool on pan 1 minute then move to cooling rack to cool completely.
