Yummy Chicken

This is a quick and easy crock pot meal!

In the crock pot I put 4-6 frozen chicken breasts.
2 cans cream of chicken soup.
(you can substitute one can for a can of cream of mushroom)
1 package of dried onion soup
1 package of dried italion dressing
cook 3-4 hours on high, the last hour of cooking add
1 package of cream cheese

Serve over Rice with a veggie and rolls!!! Yummy!!

Cheesy Chicken Enchilada Soup

• 2 cans cream of chicken soup


• 1 can enchilada sauce


• 2 cups milk


• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese


• 9 oz frozen cooked chicken strips, thawed, chopped (2 cups)


• 3/4 cup crushed tortilla chips

• In 3 Qt saucepan, mix all ingredients except tort chips. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally until heated through and cheese is melted. Top individual servings with tortilla chips.

Potato Sausage Soup

This is really yummy soup and would be good with rolls or Harvest Bread (I posted that one already). It is similar to the Olive Garden's famous Toscana soup.

Ingredients:

3 links sweet Italian sausage
2 medium baking potatoes, washed and diced
2-3 slices bacon, cooked & diced
3/4 cup onions, diced
1 lg clove garlic, minced
2 Tbl Chicken Bullion
4 cups water
1/2 cup whipping cream

Preparation:
Remove sausage from casings; brown in skillet, breaking up, until cooked through. I have found that using a potato masher periodically throughout the cooking process really helps break up the meat.
Meanwhile, place cooked bacon and onions in large saucepan and cook over medium heat until onions are tender. Add garlic and cook 1 minute longer.
Add chicken base, water and potatoes, simmer 15 minutes.
Add sausage and cream. Simmer 4 minutes and serve. Serves 5.

Harvest Bread

I got this recipe from Dallas's mom a few years ago. The story goes that after she had Dallas, her neighbor brought dinner which included this fabulous bread. I really like it and make it fairly often.

• 2 Cups Flour
• 3/4 Cup Sugar
• 2 tsp Baking Powder
• 1/4 tsp Salt
• 1 Cup milk (again I use powdered milk)
• 2 Eggs
• 3 Tbsp Applesauce

• Mix all ingredients together. Bake in bread pan for 55 min at 350. (Check w/ toothpick in center to be sure all cooked, since ovens vary.)My favorite way to eat this is to let it cool a bit but eat it while it is still warm. Then you take a thick slice and put a healthy layer of butter on it and enjoy. (Well healthy in the sense of lots and yum yum, not in the healthy as in 'good for you' sense.)

Fajitas (chicken)

I made this last night. I usually do the homemade seasoning because it doesn't take long at all and the flavoring is great. Also, I've never used the lime wedges or guacamole but feel free to experiment. Enjoy!

From Better Homes and Gardens Cookbook

Prep: 30 minutes Chill: 30 minutes
Oven: 350 degrees F Makes: 4 to 6 servings

12 ounces beef flank steak or bite-size strips of chicken or turkey
1 tablespoon purchased or Homemade Fajita Seasoning
4 to 6 8-inch flour tortillas
2 tablespoons cooking oil
1 cup thin strips of red or green sweet pepper (1 medium)
1/2 cup thinly sliced onion, separated into rings (1 medium)
3/4 cup chopped tomato (1 medium)
1 tablespoon lime juice
Guacamole (optional)
Bottled salsa (optional)
Dairy sour cream (optional)
Lime wedges

1. If desired, partially freeze beef for easier slicing. If using steak, trim fat from meat and thinly slice steak across the grain into bite-size strips. Place meat strips in a deep bowl. Sprinkle with 2 teaspoons of the fajita seasoning. Cover and chill 30 minutes.

2. Wrap tortillas tightly in foil. Heat in a 350 oven about 10 minutes or until heated through. Meanwhile, in a 12-inch skillet heat 1 tablespoon of the oil over medium-high heat. Add sweet pepper, onion, and remaining 1 teaspoon seasoning. Cook and stir about 3 minutes or until crisp-tender. Remove onion mixture from skillet.

3. Add remaining 1 tablespoon oil and the meat to the skillet. Cook and stir for 2 to 3 minutes until desired doneness for steak or until chicken or turkey strips are no longer pink. Drain well. Return onion mixture to skillet. Stir in tomato. Cook and stir 1 minute or until heated through. Remove skillet from heat; stir in lime juice.

4. To serve, fill warm tortillas with meat mixture. If desired, top meat mixture with guacamole, salsa, and sour cream. Roll up tortillas. Serve with lime wedges.

Homemade Fajita Seasoning: In a small bowl combine 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin; 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano, crushed; 1/4 teaspoon salt; 1/4 teaspoon ground red pepper; 1/4 teaspoon black pepper;1/8 teaspoon garlic powder; and 1/8 teaspoon onion powder.

2 cans diced tomatoes

Garlic, Onion, Salt, Pepper and Taco Seasoning to Taste!

Put everything in crockpot for slow heating or heat in stockpot for quicker heating including juices from cans. Once heated...EAT! This is great with fritos chips or fresh baked bread!

Pop Up Pancakes

I'll be the first to post!

I found a recipe for pop up pancakes (also known as German Pancakes) on this blog http://www.makeandtakes.com/. I made them for my kids and they devoured them in a matter of minutes and begged to make them again soon. Since then we've made them for breakfast, lunch, and dessert. They taste a little like crepes and french toast combined. The batter pops up in the oven. You can see in the first photo how they look when they come out of the oven. You can top them with anything you want. Our favorites are syrup with powdered sugar and fruit with whipped cream or powdered sugar. You could also top them with chocolate or honey or anything else that sounds good to you. You can make them in any kind of pan, but muffins are fun. We love them and they are super easy to make. The recipe I saw was good but I added a little vanilla and sugar and now the recipe tastes great!

1 cup milk

1 cup flour

6 eggs

1/4 cup melted butter

2 tablespoons sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

dash salt

Preheat oven to 400 degrees
