Chicken Nacho's Supreme

Since the hubby is gone to Japan for a month, I am a little lazy in the kitchen and we did nacho's last night. Not just any Nacho's, but Chicken Nacho's Supreme :)I think we ate a few of the food groups :)

Chicken Nacho's Supreme Recipe

Easy Dinner Tip:

I place my chicken breasts in individual zipbags with the Honey Teriyaki Chicken Marinade and froze them when I purchased them. I seperate them into serving sizes, so I can pull out what I need and cook as desired.

Ingredients:

4 Chicken Tenderloins, or 2 Chicken Breasts marinated and sprinkled with Adobo seasoning or seasoned salt
Chips
Can refried beans
Sour Cream
Tomato, chopped
Guacamole (optional)
Mexican Cheese Blend

Directions:

Grill chicken on an indoor grill pan or outside grill until done. Chop into bite size pieces or smaller.

Place Chips on Plate
Using a spoon, smear beans onto chips one at a time *yes this is the fun part*
Sprinkle a handfull of cheese onto the chips
Microwave about 1 minute or until cheese melts
Smear Sour Cream on the cheese
Sprinkle with tomatoes and grilled chicken
Place a dollop of guacamole on the side.

The Verdict...
This was a hit with the kids and with me. Easy, Fast and tasty!

Make Overseas Calls for FREE

Check out this application for your iphone which allows you to make free calls using WIFI connection. My husband just left to go to Japan for a month and discovered it so he can call me. He has an iphone, but I have a blackberry, so it is not free for him to call me on my phone, but it was free for him to call me on my computer via skype. They also give you $50 free credit when signing up (I am almost positive thats what my hubby said).

I will have to learn more about how this works, or if anyone has tips I would love to hear them via the comments section.

To download this app go to TruePhone

You can also get a free phone number for voicemail and faxes here. This is great for leaving your phone number in those pesky online forms, or at the multitude of stores that ask for a phone number. This way you do not have to tell them you would rather not give your phone number and just direct them to your online voice mail. And the result...no more junk calls on your home or cell phone.

Chocolate Kisses Cake - A BIG HIT!

I made this Chocolate Kiss Cake for my daughters birthday this past weekend and it was a huge hit. The best part is it's very easy to make. It was a box cake mix and 3 different kinds of Frosting (from the can of coarse). And the most important ingredient...a lot of love.


Ingredients:
1 Devil's Food Cake Mix (add and mix according to the box)
1 tsp coconut extract (no one will even know its there, but they will wonder what it is)
1 bag Hershey Kisses

Cake:
Grease 2 9 inch Round Cake Pans. Line pans with parchment paper. Spray inside of pans with baking spray. Bake according to the box instructions or until a knife inserted into the middle comes out clean. I try to check my cakes 5 minutes before it is supposed to be done just in case.

Filling:
1/2 can Fudge Chocolate Chip Frosting

Frosting:
1 Can Chocolate Fudge Frosting, 1 Can buttercream frosting, 1 can whipped buttercream frosting (I did this because the original picture had white frosting, but I do not like the whipped frosting by itself)
Add a little powdered sugar with a mixer to stiffen the frosting a bit (about 1 Cup)
1 tsp almond extract.

Mix everything together until thick and creamy.

To Frost the cake:
Allow both layers to cool completely. Level out the cakes. Place one layer onto the serving platter and place parchment pieces under the bottom to make clean up a cinch (do not just put one whole piece under the entire bottom, or it will be very difficult to remove the paper). Dump half the chocolate chip frosting onto the middle of the 1st layer and carefully spread outwards until the entire layer is covered and level. Place second layer on top. Dump a large amount of the chocolate buttercream frosting onto the top of the cake and work the frosting to the edges and then allow it to fall over the sides, so you can then work the frosting down the sides. When done frosting, peel Hershey Kisses and push them into the side of the cake and place kisses on the top of the cake. Serve and watch it disappear!

The best part of making the cake...my daughters smiling face!

Sweet and Spicy Honey Mustard

Sweet and Spicy Honey Mustard

Ingredients:

2 Tbsp Honey
1 Tbsp Yellow Mustard
1 Tbsp Spicy Brown Mustard
2 - 3 Tbsp of Mayo

Directions:

Mix well and spread onto bun.

Honey Teriyaki Grilled Chicken Breasts

Honey Teriyaki Grilled Chicken Breasts or Chicken Sandwich

Ingredients for Marinade:

3 - 4 Chicken Breasts bone in or boneless (whatever you can get cheaper, I de-bone the chicken breasts when I can find a good deal on them)
1 Tbsp minced dried onions
1 pinch cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes
1/2 - 2/3 cup Ken's Honey Teriyaki Marinade
1 tsp dried minced garlic or garlic powder
Approximately 1 oz of Whiskey or Bourbon
2 tsp McCormick Garlic And Herb Seasoning

Directions: Place all ingredients in a ziploc bag and mix well. Make sure the breasts are coated. I sprinkled the seasonings on the chicken right in the bag.
After marinating for overnight or for 12 hours, grill for about 30 minutes.

Ingredients for Chicken Sandwich:

4 slices of Bacon, broken in half
1 Tomato
Lettuce
Honey Mustard
Hamburger Buns or Chiabatta Bread

Directions:

To make a Grilled Chicken Sandwich, just cut chicken into smaller portions before grilling and place cheese on top while warm. Place on bun and serve with honey mustard, bacon, tomato and lettuce (its also good with just the chicken and the bun). It tasted very similar to Chili's Grilled Chicken Sandwich. YUMMY!

Crock-Pot (Slow Cooker) Stuffed Cabbage Rolls

Slow Cooker Stuffed Cabbage Rolls with Tomatoes

This is so easy and it would be great for having guests over. It looks like you spent all day in the kitchen, but it really goes fast once you get it down.

INGREDIENTS:

1 Large Head of Green Cabbage

Meat/Rice Mixture:

*½ lb pork and ½ lb ground lean ground beef ( OR...1 lb turkey)

2 cloves garlic, chopped

1/2 medium onion, chopped

**1 Cup Rice, cooked

1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp dried thyme
10 twists fresh pepper or 1/8 tsp ground black pepper

Ingredients for topping:

1 - 28 oz Large Can Diced Tomatoes or 2 small cans

1/2 tsp dried basil

1/2 tsp dried thyme

1 bay leaf

1 tsp salt

In a large bowl mix together uncooked pork, ground beef or turkey, rice, salt, pepper, onion and garlic. Use hands to really mix well.

 Bring a large pot of water and 1 Tbsp salt to a boil. Rinse cabbage and carefully peel leaves and set aside.  Drop in a few cabbage leaves at a time into boiling water - allow to soften for about 30 - 45 seconds - just until pliable. Remove cabbage leaves from water and set aside.

Open one cabbage leaf and place about 2 Tbsp in each leaf; roll up like an egg roll (Use a large cookie scoop to drop filling onto cabbage leaves) Set rolls in the bottom of a large Slow Cooker.

Dump tomatoes on top of cabbage rolls, sprinkle with 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp basil, 1/2 tsp thyme, 1 bay leaf, and a few twists of fresh black pepper on top of cabbage rolls. *Optional: Add a 1/4 tsp hot chili flakes for a little heat. 

Put the lid on and let it cook on low for 6-8 hours, or on high for 4 hours.

*Can use turkey and ground beef, or just 1.25 lb turkey. 2/3 lb is usually a little more than half of the standard meat packages at the store. Measurements do not have to be exact. This recipe is easily adapted. Use the leftover meat; brown with onions and garlic; freeze for later use.

**To cook rice: Bring 2 cups of water and ½ tsp salt to a boil. Stir in rice. Cover, reduce to simmer, cook for 18 – 20 minutes. Remove from heat. Let sit covered for 5 minutes. Can be made the day before and refrigerated.

TIP: Make a double batch and freeze the meat mixture for later use. So you would use 1 lb ground beef, 1 lb pork, and 1 ½ cups of cooked rice. Place meat into a freezer bag, label. When ready to use, thaw in the refrigerator and then stuff the cabbage, or you could also make stuffed bell peppers with it.

TGI FRIDAYS $5 Meals

I just found out about TGI Fridays $5 meal promotion, but many of you may have seen the information on the television already. The promotion is 9 of their sandwiches and 9 salads are on sale for $5! These are full sized portions and the promotion ends May 31. My family and I went to TGI Fridays this Thursday and were pleasantly surprised. My husband chose the Jack Daniels Grilled Chicken Sandwich and it was awesome! I was blown away and for only $5!?! Really??? I decided on the Pecan Crusted Chicken Salad and the salad was delicious, but the pecan crusted chicken breast was not the best. The bread crumbs tasted a bit old. Overall feeding a family of 4 for $18 without the tip was a great buy. So, if you haven't headed over to TGI Fridays yet, hurry because it ends soon and its worth the trip!

IKEA's Graddsas Cream Sauce for Meatballs & Pasta Recipe (added lower cal version)

We visited IKEA last weekend and were fortunate enough to go when they were having $1 Meatballs with mashed potatoes and lingonberry sauce. Wow what a treat! And for only $1 a person...What a steal! Too bad we spent way too much on other things :) The cream sauce was divine and I purchased a small package of it. After making it I wanted more and did not want to drive back - an hour away- just to get more cream sauce. I served the sauce on homemade pasta which was made in my new pasta maker. It is the coolest thing ever!

Graddsas Sauce (Similar Cream Sauce Recipe)

Ingredients

2 Tbsp flour

2 Tbsp butter

1/2 cup cream

1 cup beef broth or stock (I used beef bullion)
1 tsp soy sauce
Pinch Salt and pepper, to taste
Paprika (about 5 shakes of the container, optional)

Directions

Heat Butter in small sauce pan. Add flour and cook stirring constantly for about 2 minutes. Add 1 cup beef broth or stock, 1 tsp soy sauce, and 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream, salt and pepper. Heat until slightly thickened. Serve over pasta, egg noodles, or mashed potatoes.

 ____________________________________________________________________


(Lower Calorie) German Cream Sauce

* I recommend doubling the recipe, so you will have extra to make an additional meal the next day - cook once, serve twice!

Ingredients:

3 Tbsp butter
2 Tbsp flour
½ cup half and half or evaporated milk
1 cup beef broth (1 tbsp bullion paste to 1 cup water)
1 tsp soy sauce
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp pepper (or 10 twists fresh pepper)
½ tsp paprika
3 Tbsp cold water mixed with 1 Tbsp cornstarch

Directions:


 * For thicker gravy add 1 ½ - 2 Tbsp cornstarch.

* For richer gravy add ½ - 1 cup of sour cream. Heat butter on medium heat in a small sauce pan; add whisk in flour and stir for 1-2 minutes. Add 1 cup of beef broth, 1 tsp soy sauce, ½ tsp salt, ¼ tsp pepper, and ½ tsp paprika; bring to a low simmer and continue whisking until mixture thickens a little (about 5 minutes). Add half and half or evaporated milk and corn starch mixture. Simmer until gravy thickens (about 2 – 3 minutes). Serve sauce over meatballs with mashed potatoes and lingonberry sauce.  

_________________________________________________________

Fresh Pasta in a Mixer or Food Processor

Ingredients:

2 Cups Flour
3 eggs
1 tsp
1 Tbsp olive oil
1 Tbsp water

Directions:

Mix Flour and eggs together. Add salt and mix again. Add oil and water. If dough is too sticky add a little flour. Scrape out of the bowl and knead on a lightly floured surface. Add flour if necessary. Knead for a few minutes (2-3). Let rest 20 minutes before putting through the pasta maker. Cut dough into 4 sections and put each section through your pasta maker. If you do not have a pasta maker, roll the dough out and cut into small pieces with a pizza cutter. You can also wrap the dough in plastic wrap and store in refrigerator for later use.
