Recipe Round-up (Meijer Ad 4/29/12 - 5/5/12)

Ready to try out some new recipes?  Or ready to make one of these again?  Here's what else you can make using on-sale ingredients from Meijer this week:

Kids' Favorite Green Beans


(This recipe was originally posted in conjunction with the Meijer Ad Week of 4/29/12 - 5/5/12)

We love the classic green bean casserole at our house, but this recipe is a nice change of pace from that old stand-by.  My friend Bobbi over at Favorite Family Foods posted this recipe a few weeks ago, and I knew I wanted to try it right away.  My kids actually turned up their noses at it until I told them what it was called...and then they tried it and of course, liked it!  I doubled the recipe and it was GONE, so I'll probably triple it next time.

8/11/12 edit:  I've made this with fresh green beans many times this summer, and it's even better!

Cherry Chip Bread


(This recipe was first posted in conjunction with the Meijer Ad Week of 4/29/12 - 5/5/12)

This moist and delicious quick bread really is quick, because gets a jumpstart from a boxed cake mix.  Betty Crocker is the only brand that makes Cherry Chip, so snatch up a box this week while it's on sale!

Cheater Chicken Parmesan Dinner


(This recipe was first posted in conjunction with the Meijer Ad Week of 4/29/12 - 5/5/12)

This "shortcut gourmet" recipe is my go-to meal on busy days!  It comes together quickly, and I always have the ingredients in the house.  My mom came up with it years ago, and now my family enjoys it as well.  The result looks like you spent hours in the kitchen instead of only 20 minutes, and the combination of flavors is delicious.
