Six Can Chicken Tortilla Soup

I found this recipe on allrecipes.com. It looked really good on this COLD April day (yes, I said April) and it seemed EASY! And it was...

1 (15 oz) can whole kernel corn, drained
2 (14.5 oz) can chicken broth (*I did 1 can chicken broth and 1 can cream of chicken soup - made it creamier)
1 (10 oz) can chunk chicken
1 (15 oz) can black beans
1 (10 oz) can diced tomatoes with green chili peppers, drained (I only had stewed tomatoes, that I threw in the food processor and added a little can of diced green chilies.)

Pour everything into a large saucepan. Simmer over medium heat until chicken is heated through. Ready in 20 minutes!!! Serve over tortilla chips or just in a bowl with corn bread. Don't forget to add cheese or sour cream also.

*I also added some chili powder, garlic powder, pepper, salt, and a little taco seasoning. Just add whatever spices you want. It is SUPER good...and probably would be fine, if you freezed it.

Parmesan Chicken

This is a recipe I made a long time ago, and should definitely make again. Only problem is I never just have plain yogurt laying around and I'm trying to get better at not shopping everyday for dinner that same night.

8 Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts
1 c. Plain Yogurt
2 c. Ritz crackers
1 T. Parmesan Cheese
1 T. Garlic Salt
1 t. salt

Roll chicken breasts in yogurt. Crush crackers and mix with remaining ingredients. Roll chicken in cracker mixture and bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes.

Noodle Casserole

This was a very easy recipe. I had the ground beef already browned before I went to work. Came home and had everything mixed and in the oven within about 10 minutes (the noodles only take 5-7 minutes to cook). This is a lot better than it looks (or sounds).

12 oz. egg noodles
1 lb. ground beef
1 can corn
1 can tomato soup
1 can cream of mushroom soup

Cook and drain noodles. Brown 1 lb. ground beef with chopped onions. Add corn, tomato soup, and cream of mushroom soup. Bake at 350 for 30 minutes.

*One thing that I would change next time is to put some cheese on right at the end.*

Easy Chicken Pot Pie

I did so good at cooking this week. On Monday I made this chicken pot pie, because I had everything already at home (that doesn't happen very often) and I had a couple leftover refrigerator biscuits I needed to use. I used some different veggies than I was used to in pot pie, but it was still good.

1 lb pkg frozen mixed veggies
1 c cooked cut-up chicken
1 can cream of chicken

Mix above items altogether in ungreased 2 quart casserole dish.

1 c Bisquick
1/2 c milk
1 egg

Stir above items with a fork until blended. Pour into casserole. Bake uncovered at 400 degrees for 30 minutes or until golden brown. (Serves 6)

The Birth...

So, I've decided to start this blog, because I'm tired of finding recipes I like and printing out the papers or writing them down and losing them! This is going to be my online cookbook/recipe holder. And I decided to share it with all my friends.

I am not a very good cook (mainly because of no time to do it)...and one of my new years resolutions is to cook dinner more (my poor husband). So I am going to be posting recipes I want to make, and recipes that I have tried. Anyone else that wants to post your favorite recipes, you are more than welcome!!

If you post a recipe, please do your best to post the link from where you go it. And if you try someone's recipe that was posted, please come back and comment on how it turned out!

Thanks...and let's try cooking. :)
