Recipes, Recipes and More Recipes! - 9/20

I've been a little behind on sharing my menus and recipes, but it's really been pretty slow between the holiday, my MOPS planning retreat, and hubby's screwy schedule again.
But, as always, I'm happy to share!

Saturday
Steak and cheese wedgies (back East, we call them wedgies, but I guess they could also be called calzones, but they don't have tomato sauce on them.

Recipe for Steak and Cheese Wedgies:

2 containers of pre-made Pilsbury pizza dough
1 box of 16-count Steak-Um's (you could also use a smaller box or leftover steak)
1 bag shredded lettuce
2 sliced tomatoes
2 bags shredded mozzarella (sometimes I'll used sliced mozzarella and sliced provolone)
1/2 onion, sliced
1 bottle Italian dressing

Prepare Steak-Um's as directed on box, set aside
In a cookie sheet (one with sides works well and prevents drippings from splattering your oven) place one pizza dough
Layer Steak-Um's, lettuce, tomato and onion.  Top with mozzarella cheese and Italian dressing.
Put second pizza dough on top.
Brush a little olive oil with garlic salt on top of dough.
Bake in oven as directed on container or until cheese is completely melted.

Sunday
One-Pan Teriyaki Chicken and Potatoes
Corn

Recipe for One-Pan Teriyaki Chicken and Potatoes:

2 medium potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2" wedges
2 boneless chicken breasts cut into 1/2" strips
1 Tablespoon vegetable oil (I substituted olive oil)
1/4 C sliced green onions (scallions)
2 Tablespoons prepared teriyaki sauce

Place potatoes into shallow 1-qt. microwave safe dish.  Cover with plastic wrap, venting one corner.  Microwave on high for 5 minutes until just tender.  (May need to extend time based on your own microwave.)

While potatoes cook, in a medium nonstick skillet over high heat, toss and brown chicken in oil for 5 minutes.  Add potatoes and toss until potatoes are lightly browned. 

Add onions and teriyaki sauce.  Toss again until heated through.  Serve.
