Chicken Enchilada Casserole

I guess Marcia and I were on the same wavelength. Hope you enjoy chicken enchiladas.

1 lb. chicken breasts
8 0z. sour cream
1 can cream of chicken soup
1 can diced green chiles
1 glug of milk
1 pkg tortillas
Shredded cheese--however much you like
seasoning salt and pepper

Cook chicken. Shred or chop into small pieces. Mix sour cream, chicken soup, green chiles, glug of milk, salt and pepper (and some cheese if you like cheese; if you don't then leave the extra cheese out). Reserve about 1 c of mixture to spread over top of tortillas later. Mix chicken in with remaining mixture. Spray 9x13 pan with Pam. Layer tortillas in bottom. Next put a layer of chicken, soup, sour cream mixture--continue layers like lasagna. Last layer should be reserved mixture without chicken. Sprinkle cheese on top. Cook at 350' for approximately 30-45 minutes until cooked all the way through.
If cooking from frozen, it does heat better if you let it thaw first, then cook it. Make sure you take off the layer of saran wrap so it doesn't cook into your food. You can also make these into actual enchiladas, but that takes a lot more time, so I like the casserole version. Some people like to eat it with rice, so if you like rice, you can add that to your meal

Sweet-N-Sour Pork Spare Ribs

3 lbs lean boneless spare ribs (pork or beef)
salt and pepper

Sauce:
1 c ketchup

2/3 c pineapple juice

Cut meat into chunks (whatever size your family prefers) and season with salt and pepper. Cook meat, covered, on 350' for about 1 1/2 hrs. Drain excess grease/juice. Mix sauce ingredients (if you like a lot of sauce, double the ingredients) and pour over meat. Cook an additional 30 minutes UNcovered until sauce thickens and is bubbly. Serve over rice.

chocolate chip muffins recipe

sorry about that--I am a blogger virgin--it's all new to me!
2 C flour
1/2 C white sugar
3 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
3/4 c milk (I'd do 1 c)
1/3 c vegetable oil
1 egg
(I'd add a tsp or so of vanilla)
3/4 c chocolate chips
3 T white sugar
2 T brown sugar

1. Heat oven to 400' F. Line tin with baking cups
2. Combine flour, 1/2 c sugar, baking powder, chocolate chips and salt; mix well. In a smaller bowl, combine mile, oil and egg (and vanilla); blend well. Combine wet and dry ingredients; stif just until dry ingredients are moistened (batter still lumpy)
3. Fill muffin cips. Sprinkle tops of muffins before baking with a combination of 3 T sugar and 2 T brown sugar.
4. Bake for 20-25 minutes (too long, I suggest about 18). Cool 1 minute before removing from pan. Serve warm.

chocolate chip muffins

Disclaimer: I don't do muffins--never have. But I gave it a go. Followed the recipe, but would tweak a few things next time like others suggest. Less cook time, add vanilla and maybe a little more milk. If you want to try to make them yourself, those are my suggestions.

Angie's contribution

I am thinking that nothing I made is worthy of passing on...but to make matters worse- I can't remember what I made.

Bread- for a kitchenaid
8 cups of flour (ish)
3 cups of liquid- water or milk or mixed
1/2 c. sugar
3 tbls. yeast
1 tbls. salt
1/2 c. oil

raise warm liquid, sugar, and yeast in mixing bowl
until it triples in size.

add oil and 4 cups flour mix for abt 3 min.
add salt and remainder of flour until it pulls away from the side of the bowl and forms a ball. let it knead for a while.
remove dough from the bowl and cut into 3 parts. knead each section and then place each into it's own pan.
let raise under a towel...abt 20 minutes.
bake on 325 for 30 min.

BBQ Chicken

Combine chicken breasts/tenders with your favorite BBQ sauce. I use Sweet Baby Rays. Place in crockpot for 4 hours or cook in skillet until no longer pink. Serve with rice or potatoes cooked your favorite way.

Rhodes Rolls

Regular Method (3-5 hours): Coat a pan with non-stick spray. Place frozen dough in pan and cover with plastic wrap coated with spray. Let rolls rise 3-5 hours, until double in size. Carefully remove plastic wrap. Bake at 350 degrees 15-20 minutes, until golden brown.

Speed Method (1.5 hours): Coat a pan with non-stick spray. Place frozen dough in pan. Do not cover. Preheat oven to 200 degrees, then turn oven off. Boil 1-2 quarts of water in a shallow pan and place pan of water on lower rack in oven. Place rolls on upper rack in oven. Let dogh rise about 1 hours, until double in size. Watch closely so dough doesn't rise too high. Remove pan of water. Leave dough in oven and set to 350 degrees. Bake 15-20 minutes, until golden brown.

I use the speed method a lot when I don't plan ahead enough. It works great!
