Chicken Tamale Casserole

Posted on February 16th, 2009, by Erin

This is another slightly adapted Cooking Light recipe.  I really enoyed it, and although my husband was dubious upon seeing that can of creamed corn in a bowl, he came around when it came out of the oven.  It was easy, flavorful, and tasted like the corn pudding that you get at Chevy’s.

Creamy Mexican Chicken in a Crock Pot

Posted on February 10th, 2009, by Erin

I don’t have much else to say other than the title.  I’m in love with my crock pot, and it remains my favorite way to be lazy with dinner.  This is really a “dump it in the pot” kind of meal, although I souped it up a bit in the end with some additional seasoning.  [...]

Chili Sweet Potato Hash with Fresh Salsa

Posted on September 14th, 2008, by Erin

So, I read this Rachael Ray recipe and thought it seemed like an interesting idea, but wasn’t totally convinced.  After not knowing what to make for dinner this week, I decided it was finally time to give this a try.  I’m glad I did!  This was pretty quick, and very tasty.  I scaled down the [...]

Posted on May 19th, 2008, by Erin

The bulk of this recipe was stolen from my favorite foodblog, The Pioneer Woman Cooks. I will admit to making very few changes, but I wanted to share this with you because it is not at all like mac ‘n cheese, but more like… well, everything I ate in Scotland, meaning it has corn [...]

Posted on May 7th, 2008, by Erin

As planned, we whipped up some shrimp tacos and made the mayo salsa from the chicken biscuit “sandwich” from the other day. I also made up some pico de gallo, because it was requested.  They turned out very well, and other than the ton of chopping, cooked up quite quickly, too.

Mexican Marinated Chicken with Pepper Casserole

Posted on February 21st, 2008, by Erin

The pepper casserole is from one of my favorite vegetarian cookbooks: Moosewood Cookbook. It’s the 15 year anniversary edition, so things have been lightened up a bit. The pepper casserole is also great on a baked potato (especially if you do a twice baked thing with some salsa and black beans. [...]

Enchiladas, Mommy style

Posted on January 30th, 2008, by Erin

These are lazy, not-really-enchilada enchiladas. But they are delicious. My mom used to make them a lot, (she still might, who knows?) and I’ve modified the recipe slightly by using different beans and adding corn. The recipe is quite versitile – add or remove what you like to make it your own. [...]
