We found the recipe in Campbell's Quick and Easy Recipes. I was excited to make this. We had to cook the beef. I like eating beef. I cooked it last week.
Ingredients:
1/4 pound ground beef
1 can of tomato soup
1 pizza crust
1 1/2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese
Recipe:
1.) Heat the oven to 450 degrees.
2.) Cook the beef in a 10 inch skillet over medium heat until the beef is well browned. Stir frequently to separate meat. Pour off any fat.
3.) Stir the soup into the skillet. Reduce the heat to low and cook until the mixture is hot and bubbling.
4.) Spread the beef mixture over the crust within 1/4 inch of the edge. Which is the crust. Top with cheese.
5.) Bake for 12 minutes or until the cheese is melted.
TJ's Review:
I liked it. It tasted just like a sloppy joe. It was really cheesy and I like cheese. I would like to make this again. It was easy to make.

Egg Rolls
They [the egg rolls] were okay. Because we didn't do what it said we messed it up. We didn't roll it because it was too crunchy so we folded it. We fried it too. I liked the vegetables in it. It didn't take that long. I liked everything. I wouldn't make it again because we kind of messed it up. I got the recipe from allrecipes.com.

Chicken Marsala
I made chicken marsala for lunch Thursday.
At first I wanted to make chicken and dumplings , but then I didn't think I would like the chicken.
When I eat chicken I like the skin the best, but the chicken and dumplings didn't have the skin on.
I picked chicken marsala because it has mushrooms.
I got the recipe from martha's favorite family dinners.
I also watched the dvd of her cooking it.
Ingredients:
3/4 cup all purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon ground pepper
2 teaspoons coarse salt
4 chicken breast
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons butter
10ounces mushrooms, cut up
2 cups beef broth (in place of Marsala wine)
1 clove garlic
3 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons butter
2tablespoons parsley
Recipe:
1. Combine the flour, salt, and pepper in a large shallow bowl (that's a short bowl) and set aside.
2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high until very hot.
3. Cover the chicken in the flour mix, set aside.
4. Add oil to the skillet. When the oil is shiny, add the chicken and cook for 3 minutes (when it's brown).
5. Turn the chicken over and cook 3 more minutes or until the chicken is all cooked (white on the inside).
6. Remove the chicken to a clean plate and set aside.
7. Heat 2 TBSP butter in the same skillet and add cut up mushrooms, stir occasionally, for about 5 to 7 minutes.
8. Remove the skillet from the heat and beef broth.
9. Return the skillet to the heat and scrap up any brown pieces with a wooden spoons (we didn't have any).
10. Add garlic, lemon juice, leftover 2 TBSP butter, and parsley.
11. Cook for 2 minutes.
12. Pour sauce over chicken and sprinkle with parsley.
13. Eat and Enjoy!

TJ Review:
It was just ok. I'm not a fan of chicken (but I didn't tell Mrs. Slagor that :)) but I do like mushrooms. That's why I decided to make it. I brought the leftovers home, but I'm not sure if anyone ate them or not. I wouldn't make this again because it's not my favorite but I would make something with mushrooms again.
When I made this I learned about working with raw chicken and cutting small things like mushrooms.

Thanksgiving with my dad
Tomorrow, my dad is getting me and Connor for Thanksgiving. We are going to my dad's brother's house for a Thanksgiving meal (I don't know when we will get there). We will see my uncle, his wife, and Grant, my cousin. I bet Grant is going to be crazy :) He always wants to wrestle and play when see him at our grandpa's house. There might be more people, but I can't think of anymore.
I don't know what we will be having exactly, but I bet we will have turkey, maybe ham, stuffing, cranberry sauce, and maybe pumpkin pie. I am most excited for the FOOD!
After we eat, we are going to come home. Well, after we talk and maybe play with Grant's new dog.

TJ Review:
Great! I liked them a lot! I like these at restaurants and I thought it would be interesting to make them myself. They were different then the ones at a restaurant because the shell was a little softer. I think that's because they deep fry theirs and we baked ours. We don't have a deep fryer, but I wish we did. I wonder how long you have to deep fry them? The staff really liked them. Mrs. Roberts even wanted the recipe from me! Mike, my step-dad, had one. I don't remember what he thought about it, but I bet he liked it :) I will definitely make these again!

2. In a large bowl, combine macaroni, celery, and onions.
3. In a small bowl, wisk together the mayonnaise, mustard, sugar, vinegar, sour cream, and salt.
4. Pour the dressing over the salad and stir to combine
5. Pour bacon bits, salt, and pepper until you think there is enough
6. Put some in a bowl for yourself and put the other in the refrigerator covered up to 3 days.

TJ Review:
It was good. I liked the pasta and the bacon bits the best! The celery was easy to cut because I have been practicing cutting vegetables a lot lately. I liked the sauce on it because it was kinda like Ranch dressing. I haven't ever seen cider vinegar as an indgrediant before so that was something new to me. I don't think I would make this aghain though because I tried to avioid the onions and just eat the pasta. So it wasn't my favorite, but other people might like it.
