One day, we had almost nothing left for dinner. So Kory decided to see what he could make with what we had. He found zucchini, rotel and noodles and put them all together in his own concoction and it turned out to be one of our favorite meals now. It is also low in calories if you buy the healthier wheat spaghetti noodles which is what we used. The recipe is really simple:
2 Chicken Breast (optional)
2 Zucchini
1 package Mushrooms
1 Green or Red Pepper
1 Tomato
1 can Rotel
Lots of Basil
Sprinkled w/ Parmesan Cheese
First cut up a couple of Chicken Breasts, however much you want. If you want a vegetarian dish just leave chicken out. Cook the chicken in frying pan and then combine it with the vegetables. When the veggies are done, add rotel and basil. Cook noodles separate and set aside. Put desired amount of chicken/veggie mixture over noodles, top with Parmesan cheese. You can use almost any vegetables you want and there are no exact measurement because it's all exchangeable. This is just something easy and delicious for one of those laid back days. Feeds 4 people.

Grandma Flanary's Buttermilk Syrup
Well, this isn't a "Dopp" recipe but its worth adopting into any family. Trust me, after eating this syrup, no other does justice. It is my absolute favorite, I must share it!
4 cubes butter
4 cups sugar
2 cups buttermilk
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 Tablespoons karo syrup (Optional. This just helps it from separating when you store it.)
4 cups sugar
2 cups buttermilk
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 Tablespoons karo syrup (Optional. This just helps it from separating when you store it.)
Boil for 5 minutes then immediately remove from heat and add 2 teaspoons baking soda.
Use a big pan because after adding the baking soda, it may overflow!
Makes a full pan.
ENJOY! =D
