Enchiladas

 Enchiladas.... they're so good, easy and makes plenty for company or leftovers! I use boneless chicken breast about 3 half breasts. I put into a pot with about a cup of water and boil until cooked. I then remove the chicken and shred, return to pan. I melt some cream cheese in the pan about a half of brick.

 once melted I add a jar of salsa verde (green salsa) and some shredded cheese. I add a can of green chiles and chop up some cilantro.
I let cool a little..... just makes it a little easier to fill the shells if it's not scalding hot! At this point, you can preheat the oven to 350. I use soft corn shells. Fill, roll and place in a baking dish.
Once they're all stuffed, I use canned enchilada sauce and spread evenly.

Cover with shredded cheese. Use what you want. Cheddar, Monterey Jack. I use a bagged blend, just makes the process quicker.
 Place in the oven and bake about 20 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly but not brown. So good!

Linguine with Red Clam Sauce

So.... I still have some sauce left, hmmm I guess I'll make Linguine with Red Clam sauce. It's actually one of my favorites and I order it many times when eating out. It doesn't require a lot of sauce so if you only have a little left and aren't sure what to do with it, this is a good meal to make. Quick too! It doesn't take long because the hard part is done. You can make white clam sauce from this as well, just leave the red out and add a few more spices. Anyway, I melted a couple tablespoons of butter and added about 3 cloves of garlic. I used 2 cans of whole cherrystone clams and 1 can of chopped. If it were summer I'd use fresh but.... it's not and they are wayyy expensive right now. I add the clam juice in as well. Then I add about 1-2 cups of my homemade sauce. I like it with a little kick so I chopped up one those red peppers from the other day to it also. You can add white wine, red wine or beer to this. I like beer, about oz. simmer it al...

Shepard's Pie

OK so, maybe it doesn't look that delectable but it WAS! Very tasty, and perfect winter comfort food! I cut up potatoes and put them in water to boil to make the mashed potatoes. In the meantime I browned up about 1 1/2 lbs of ground beef. Added onion celery and carrots, a cup of water, and 2 beef bullion cubes. I also added some frozen corn. You can add peas as well. I cut up 2 springs of Rosemary and some fresh Thyme added to the meat mixture. I then added a packet of brown gravy and a little bit more water and let simmer. Oh and salt and pepper to taste. Preheat oven to 375. While that was simmering I drained and mashed up the potatoes. Adding milk, butter, and sour cream. Salt and pepper to taste. Put the meat mixture in the bottom of a casserole dish and then spread the mashed potatoes gently on top. Bake in the oven for about 20 minutes until bubbly. Sprinkle a generous amount of shredded cheese on top bake an addition 5 minutes. Serve!

African Chicken

This was the most amazing Chicken!! I actually watched an episode of Diners, Drive ins, and Dives and got the recipe from there. Of course, I didn't have as much cumin as I needed, so I changed and tweaked the recipe and although I never made the original recipe the one I made was fabulous. I use so much Cumin, I need to start buying it in one of those huge containers they sell at BJ's. I thought I had extra down stairs but I didn't. UGH. Anyway here is how I made it. I used 6 thighs and 4 drumsticks I made a paste which was: Cumin about a tablespoon Oregano about 2 tablespoons Pepper teaspoon Salt 2 teaspoons Garlic 1 teaspoon minced Chili powder 1 tablespoon Corriander powder 1 tablespoon mix that together and then add olive oil to make a paste. I put the chicken in 2 aluminum pans and rubbed equal parts of the paste on each piece of chicken until it was gone. I let marinate for an hour. I browned each piece of chicken in a frying pan and then put the ...
