1 soup can of water
approximately 6 handfuls dry noodles, cooked according to pkg directions
1 pint sour cream

Spray a large nonstick skillet with nonstick cooking spray and brown the chicken on all sides, cooking through.

Add the cream of mushroom soup, cream of chicken soup, and water; lower heat and simmer while the noodles cook.

Drain the noodles well; stir into the chicken and soup mixture. Add the sour cream and toss to coat chicken and noodles.

1/2 cup milk
1/2 tsp dill weed (optional)
1/4 tsp salt
6 slices American cheese
1 1/2 cups instant long-grain rice, uncooked
1 large can (9 to 12-oz) tuna, drained
2 tbsp chopped parsley, optional

In a medium saucepan bring the water, milk, dill, and salt to a boil over medium heat. Add the cheese, cooking and stirring until the cheese is melted.

Stir in the rice, tuna, and parsley. Cover and remove from the heat. Let stand for 5 minutes until the liquid is absorbed. Stir before serving.

1 pkg (10-oz) frozen french-style green beans, thawed
1/4 cup lite soy sauce
black pepper to taste

In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium-high temperature. Add the onion and garlic; cook 3 minutes, stirring often so garlic doesn’t burn.
