Reading this, it looks like the peas are mashed with the potatoes, but I wouldn't do this. I'd serve them on the side.

Chicken Cutlets with Smashed Potatoes and Peas (Real Simple)

1 pound small new potatoes (about 10)
kosher salt and black pepper
1 10-ounce package frozen peas
2 scallions, sliced
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
8 small chicken cutlets (about 1 1/4 pounds)
2 tablespoons flour
2 tablespoons olive oil

Place the potatoes in a saucepan with enough water to cover. Add 1 teaspoon salt. Simmer until tender, 15 to 18 minutes, adding the peas in the last 2 minutes; drain.

Gently mash with the scallions, butter, and 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper.

Meanwhile, season the chicken with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Coat with the flour, shaking off the excess.

Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and cook half the chicken until golden brown and cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes per side; transfer to plates. Serve with the potatoes.

Another "skinny" recipe. I like the sound of the sauce. I'll probably bake the fish like I ususally do.

I suppose you just put in as much of a big bottle of ketchup to make it sloppy! :)

this is a sloppy joe recipe I have used for years, got it from a friend years ago. We love them.

sloppy Joes
1 1/2 lbs. ground chuck
1 onion, chopped
1 small green pepper, chopped
1 can tomato soup, undiluted
1 8 oz. can tomato sauce
1 cup ketchup
2 Tbsp. brown sugar
1 Tbsp. worcestershire sauce
1 tsp. prepared mustard (I use a little more)
garlic powder to your taste

Cook beef, onion and green pepper until beef is browned, stirring until it crumbles; drain. Stir in soup and the rest of the stuff; simmer 30 minutes or longer stirring often.� Serve on toasted buns--

another one that is really good and a great party starter.

Buffalo shrimp rounds

4 stalks celery. Leaves removed and reserved
1 lb. Shrimp, peeled and deveined
3 TBS buffalo wing hot sauce Franks Red hot is best
24 sesame Melba toast rounds
1/2 cup blue cheese dressing like Marie's or Ken's steak house

slice celery diagonally into 1/4 inch thick pieces
chop reserved leaves
In sauce pot, cook shrimp in boiling water for 4 mins or until just opaque. (you can use bought pre cooked shrimp) Drain, rinse with cold water.
In bowl, combine shrimp, Hot sauce, 2 TBS chopped celery leaves and 1/2tsp.salt.

Top each Melba round with small dollop blue cheese dressing. Top with celery slice, another dollop of dressing and a shrimp.

The ones in the recipe picture had the tail shells on but I would remove those so you could just eat the thing with out having to deal with that shell.

I always add some seasoning to my boil water, either some crab boil or some old bay seasoning, with out seasoning in the boil water the shrimp just lack taste.

For sloppy joes at work we just brown the hamburger drain it and add tomato soup and a little mustard and sometimes a little worcestershire sauce we get lots of compliments on it. Some people add a little brown sugar but we dont like it sweet.

I do browned meat, celery and onions.
Add some tomato soup, bit of ketchup and barbecue sauce.
Cayenne pepper or hot sauce for a bit of a bite.
