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
Posted by catherine in Main Dishes, Recipes on 26. Jul, 2010 | 1 Comment
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
Spicy Mexican Soup
Posted by catherine in Clean eating, Main Dishes, Side dishes on 02. Jul, 2010 | 1 Comment
With all the comfort food I post around here, you would think we never eat anything very healthy. Never fear! This soup serves as a mainstay during the summer when we have plenty of fresh produce. Sometime I eat the entire batch, it’s that good. Hmmm…let’s be honest, I polish off a lot of good [...]
Mango Crock Pot Chicken

“Hi. I’m Mango Salsa. You can find me at the local Costco if you live in Utah. Maybe elsewhere if you’re lucky. Look for me in the refrigerated section. I’m pretty good with just chips, but I rock out when you mix me with chicken and Dr. Pepper (I know a certain blogger who [...]
Pasta n’ Cheese…not from a box
Posted by catherine in Main Dishes, Side dishes on 28. Jun, 2010 | 0 Comments
Don’t get me wrong, I like the fakey flavor of the macaroni and cheese you can find in a blue box. I’m oddly comforted by Kraft Dinner, as our Canadian friends call it. I’m not, however, thrilled with additive-laden ingredient list. After some experimenting, I finally figured out how to make this using simple [...]
Chicken Curry

[I wish I had a picture of this beautiful dish that has a lovely shade of summer yellow! But alas, my camera went AWOL for the day]
This past weekend I dared to make Curry Chicken for the very first time. Or Chicken Curry. I don’t know what you’d call it since I’m a novice when [...]
