Sour Cream Chicken Enchiladas
Posted by catherine in Main Dishes on 09. Aug, 2010 | 4 Comments
I asked my kids this week, “What one recipe would you like for me to make sure I include on my website?” Their answer was chicken enchiladas. This recipe has the rare distinction of being a main dish that all my kids demand seconds for.
To make this kid-friendly, I leave out onions and extra [...]
French Bread Pizza

Let’s file this recipe under “so simple my kids could make it.” One of said kids attempted here to take an action shot and accidentally lopped off my head. But I’m feeling much better, thanks for asking.
I remember having this version of pizza growing up. Today, it’s a nice way to reconnect with my childhood [...]
Chicken Nuggets

When discussing a certain chicken McMenu item, my sister-in-law(also a registered dietician), lamented, “what part of a chicken looks like a boot?” Excellent point. Also, I heard of a recall earlier this week on chicken nuggets sold at a local WalStore. Instead of buying premade nuggets, have you ever considered making these at home?
I invented [...]
Guacamole

In our house, we also call this lovely dip/spread/random snack, “Mexican Butter.” While this treat packs a hefty caloric punch, it also contains a lot of really good fats. And I’ve heard from the experts that we need good fats, as opposed to the delicious but nefarious fats found in steak, butter, etc.
On that note, [...]
Chicken tortilla rolls
Posted by catherine in Appetizers, Main Dishes on 11. Jul, 2010 | 1 Comment
This recipe was born from frequent trips to the local Chicken Crazy (translate that into Espanol). One of my favorite snacks from this place has simply a tortilla, chicken and cheese. And a very delicious dipping sauce that I will one day master making at home.
But my favorite snack runs about $2. Not terribly [...]
Waffles

I heart waffles. I do not heart waffle mixes. They always taste chemically to me (is chemically a respectable adverb? I should probably know that).
The above dilemma led me to scour the internet. Fortunately, I found one that darn near reaches perfection. I could not resist my added touch, of course.
You will have [...]
Albacore and crackers
Posted by catherine in Appetizers, Clean eating on 09. Jul, 2010 | 0 Comments
The recipe for one of my favorite snacks includes very specific ingredients. Substitutions may result in something not quite as tasty. So make changes at your own risk.
Bonus: this qualifies as clean eating in my book. I use albacore instead of tuna (higher in Omega-3s), canola mayo, and my favorite carby snack, Kashi’s Heart [...]

Hi, I’m Catherine. I like butter, sugar, and copious amounts of salt. I don’t eat vegetables much unless they swim in ranch dressing. Or topped with cheese.
I do, however, feel best when I attempt to eat “clean.” Notice I did not say “diet” or anything of the sort. I do not believe in [...]
Redneck Casserole
Posted by catherine in Main Dishes on 08. Jul, 2010 | 0 Comments
This recipe came from the realization that I had nothing planned for dinner and a fridge full of leftovers. My mom left behind a barely used bag of “Simply Potatoes,” from her visit last week. I’m still wondering how one can only use a teeny bit of presliced potatoes but that’s another story.
Where did the [...]
Frozen Berry Muffins

I made these today since my oldest told me she was “craving blueberry muffins.” I don’t know anyone else in my house who has cravings that demand attention. [where’s the sarcastic emoticon when I need it?]
Once again I broke my moratorium on using the oven during the summer to appease my picky daughter. I did [...]
