fastest easiest cheesiest enchiladas

These are the simplest, fastest, easiest cheese enchiladas ever! They take less than 5 minutes to prep and then you just put them in the oven at 375 for 20 minutes. Bing Bam Boom, you’re good to chow down.

Yep, that’s string cheese. Next time – red enchilada sauce for sure.

Sweet Asian Gravy Chicken

What started out as me making up a “orangish chicken” recipe off the top of my head ended a little differently. Josh said it was good, but didn’t taste like chinese food. He called it a “Sweet Asian Gravy Chicken” and despite it not turning out as expected, it was actually DELICIOUS. So, here’s how you make it! (Ingredients at the bottom of this post)

Sweet Asian Gravy Chicken
1 pound of chicken breast cubed
Prepared white rice
1/2 cup chicken broth
1/4 cup teriyaki
1/4 cup orange juice
Fresh grated ginger if you have fit
Sriracha to preference
1 tbsp. sesame seeds
Mix all together in a bowl and add:
1 tbsp. cornstarch
1/8 cup cold COLD water
Stir stir stir stir

Sear chicken in a pan on Medium
Pour mixed liquids over chicken
Cover and let sit on Medium for 10 min
Stir occasionally as the corn starch will settle to the bottom

Remove from heat & let sit for 3 min.

Stir and spoon over rice over rice

Easy Peasy Pot Pie

So, you take the pulled crock pot chicken that you now just always have on hand because it’s so easy and you mix it with frozen peas, carrots, and corn. Add some fresh herbs like cilantro and then add a can or two of cream of mushroom or cream of potato to that mix. Stir, add salt and pepper, pour into a frozen pie crust. Then top the whole thing with a pre-made pie crust top and bake it at 350 for an hour.

Do cut a whole in the top crust, DON’T try and cut a letter…you’ll just look like an idiot. Enjoy!

Roasted Sausage Mix

The other day I decided to try my hand at this recipe from Lila’a Apron. I changed the recipe a bit to use what I had on hand, and added Mrs. Dash steak seasoning mix because it makes any roasted potato worth it. Josh and I decided to call this kebab bowls, because all the ingredients could go on a kebab…and I served it in a bowl…we’re remarkably creative namers. God help our children.

chop up red potato then add mrs. dash and olive oil

chop peppers and onions and add those too then add olive oil and salt

slice the sausage

add sausages and then a whole drained small jar of banana peppers

post roast beauty

350 degrees for 45 minutes. This meal taught Josh that he doesn’t hate banana peppers…an important lesson, I think.

Let me know how yours turns out!

Makin’ a Roast

You pick the proportions you want: onions, carrots, worcestershire, pepper, and big ole’ slab of beef. Crock pot it up on low for at least 8 hours, maybe 10. Serve over potatoes if you know what’s good!

bada boom

bada bing

If I could do this all again [and I will] I would put the meat on the bottom and cook it for a few hours before I added the onions and carrots, they were a little over cooked and soft for my preference.

Home Made Butter Fingers

melt candy corn in a microwave

scoop in a bunch of peanut butter

stir

push into a mold with parchment to harden [use the fridge for this if you like]

after it’s cooled a bit, cut into squares and let cool all the way though

melt some milk chocolate

roll

set out on parchment to cool and harden… then stuff your face

It turns out they taste a little bit more like a butter finger and a peanut butter cup had a delicious, delicious baby; I’m not complaining!

Try it out!

It’s the 4th of July…let’s bake apple pie

Really, it’s the only sensible thing to do. This is how I do it.

peel

Peel 6-7 apples old school style with a knife. You can use a peeler I guess, but this way makes you feel like you’re channeling every old awesome grandma that has ever baked an apple pie, so do it this way.

chop

Slice then dice the apples and put them all in a bowl

mix

Mix 3/4 cup brown sugar and 1 tsp. cinnamon with 1/4 all purpose flour and little lemon juice.

pour

Pour a little more than half of this mixture over the diced apples and mix the apples (with your hands) to coat them.

toss

Add the rest of the dry mix to the bottom of the pie crust (I use pre-made frozen crusts because I’m lazy and impatient.

pile high

Add the apples to the pie crust

stars and stripes, if you please

it’s like captain america became a pie

Cut your top pie crust in an american shape and add it to the pie.

ready to bake

Brush the crust with melted butter and rub on some more cinnamon.

maybe 45 minutes is a little too long

Then bake at 450 for 45 minutes and let sit for 20 minutes outside the oven. Maybe just stick to the lattice look, the flag didn’t turn out very well, but taste is all that matters…and it tastes like freedom.

Serve with vanilla ice cream and enjoy your holiday!
