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!

Chicken Parm

Ok, It's Chicken Parm night. Not that it's a special night or anything but.... I made a pot of sauce the other night before I started this blog. I had used plum tomatoes from the garden. The last of them as it is November but I had blanched and pureed them and then froze it. Anyway, you can't make Chicken Parm without homemade sauce. Anyway, I take out 3 bowls, one I put flour in, add some pepper, the second I scrambled 2 eggs with a clove of garlic and the 3rd I added breadcrumbs Italian seasonings and grated parmesan. I cut the chicken breast put them in a plastic bag and pound them out thin. Dredge the chicken in the flour, eggs, and then breadcrumbs. Fry in olive oil Put them in baking dishes I spread sauce on the top, flipped it over and put sauce on the other side. Sprinkled some parmesan cheese on them grated mozzarella. Bake in the oven 350 until cheese is melted and bubbly. Of course, I cooked up some macaroni and topped with sauce for a full meal.  ...

Jellied Cranberry Sauce

I grew up having cranberry sauce from a can on Thanksgiving day. I loved it! I've tried whole cranberry sauce and wasn't a fan. Then I realized I can make my own cranberry sauce! So I few years ago, I tried to make my own. I discovered it's ridiculously easy to make and wow! so much better then the canned stuff I had been eating my entire life. Now, I won't ever eat it from the can again! I make of lot of cranberry sauce. I don't think I have to make this much, I give some away. You don't have to make as much as I do. I started with 44 oz. of cranberrys. I put 3 1/2 cups of water in a large pot added 3 1/2 cups of sugar and brought to a boil. I turned it down to a simmer and listen to the cranberrys pop! I love this part. I stir it up until they stop popping. I used my hand blender to make sure I all the cranberry's were ground up. I then used the juice of one orange, a very ripe, juicy orange. I squeezed it right into the pot. I decided to add som...

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 ...
