For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son,that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal live. John 3:16 (NIV)

Of course you have time to cook! With a menu like the one offered here, it is so easy to get a meal on the table. You know how I feel about making family meals at home rather than feeding your family at fast food establishments, if you follow my blogs at all. This Quick and Easy Beef Tamale Pie only takes a few minutes to prepare but it is full of flavor, meat, vegetables, and it's served over cornbread. Add a Simple Cottage Cheese Pear Salad to go with the pie. The coolness of the salad is a perfect contrast to the spice of the tamale pie. You can throw this Easy Marshmallow Chocolate Puddin' Pie together while the ground beef for the tamale pie browns. Refrigerate until serving time. If this isn't a 30 minute meal, it sure is close.

TAMALE PIE

1 lb ground beef

1 med onion, chopped

2 cans (14 1/2 oz each) stewed tomatoes

2 cans (2 1/4 oz each) sliced ripe olives, drained

1 med green pepper, chopped

2 to 3 tsp taco seasoning mix

Corn bread (1 pkg of your favorite brand baked according to pkg directions)

In a skillet, cook the beef and onion until meat is browned; drain and rinse in a colander with hot water. Add tomatoes, olives, green pepper, and taco seasoning. Cook and stir over low heat until hot and bubbly. Serve over corn bread.

Yield: 6 servings

SIMPLE COTTAGE CHEESE PEAR SALAD

6 canned pear halves, no-sugar-added

1 1/2 cups cottage cheese

lettuce leaves for garnish

Paprika for garnish

Drain the pear halves. Place each pear half on a pretty lettuce leaf and put 1/4 cup cottage cheese in center of each pear half. Sprinkle lightly with paprika.

SIMPLE MARSHMALLOW CHOCOLATE PUDDIN' PIE

1 graham cracker pie crust

1 pkg (4 serving size) sugar-free instant chocolate pudding and pie filling mix

2 cups low-fat milk

1/2 cup miniature marshmallows

1 12-oz carton sugar-free frozen whipped topping, thawed

1/4 cup chopped pecans

In a small mixing bowl, beat the pudding and pie filling mix with the milk according to the package directions. Lay the marshmallows over the bottom of the pie crust. Pour the chocolate mixture over the marshmallows. Spread the whipped topping over the chocolate mixture and sprinkle pecan over the top. Refrigerate until serving time.

Enjoy!
