Crystals Chicken Enchilada Soup.

I was running low on groceries the other night and my dear oldest child and his fiance had fixed what I had on the menu for that night, but a different night...so essentially, my groceries werent there to fix what I had planned (I thanked them for fixing supper that night but wondered how I was going to replace this meal..lol) Well, looking through my freezer and my pantry, this is what I came up with....

2 frozen bonless skinless chicken breast.
3 cans cream of mushrrom soup
1 soup can of milk
1 can Rotel
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp onion powder
Salt to taste,
1/4 lb Velveeta, cubed.
Leftover tortilla chips and tortillas.
Sour Cream

I put a can of soup in the bottom of the crock pot, put the chicken breast on top of it, poured in the other two cans of soup, milk and rotel. Added spices. Stir. Cook on High for 4-6 hrs. At about 5 hours (before if you want...) I added the Velveeta and came back and stirred one or two times.

I was hoping for a thick mixture to make enchiladas out of but it turned out really soupy. So we just put some tortilla's and tortilla chips in a bowl and added soup and sour cream. Yummmmmm My hubby loved it and even my picky oldest child ate two bowls. I think if I fix it again though, I will double it.

Some things I have found lately..

What little time I have had on the computer here lately has been spent doing school stuff and research for a friend. But I have had a few extra minutes with sick kids piled up on the couch and resting. So here are some things I have found that I have started trying to do but not neccesarily posting about as I just dont have the time.

I will be putting a button on my sidebar too. I think this is a great idea. Praying for your kids seven times a day seven days a week.

The Love Dare! This is a wonderful thing to do. Paul and I plan on seeing the movie this weekend if possible (babysitters...) and we are going to take Jack and Amber and then we plan on doing the 40 day challenge. We are even thinking about getting the Couples Kit to do...

Making Your Home a Haven! I love this. I have been working on my home, not in the exact order she has because I didnt find this before yesterday but it is a really neat plan. Please go over and take a look.

My sister has a daybook. The idea was from the Simple womans daybook..but altered to fit her needs. I have been doing this and tweaking it as I go....I havent been poting it but I have been doing it.

And my all time favorite recipe that I tried this week! Autumn Chowder from Heritage Schoolhouse. Oh you must try this...it is delicious..everyone in our house loved it.

Blessings to all..

Bluberry Bread

I finally got around to making this bread. It is delicious! Wonderful! The girls suggested that I not put so many blueberries in it next time. I had to agree, although it was delicious and I will make it again, I wont put so many blueberries in it. But it is a hit.

I am getting stuff ready for Church tommorow. We are going to mow after Church and we usually have lunch. I like to get stuff ready on Saturday night so I dont have to rush around on Sunday morning to get it done. I just wanted to share this recipe while I was thinking about it.

Blessings

Recipe, Heart Stoppin Potatoes.

Here is a recipe for some potatoes that Paul came up with a few weeks ago. We have had several people tell us that they love them and want the recipe. So here it is.

Several Potatoes. Washed with skin left on
Season All
Italian Seasoning
Beef & Pork Rub (this is what we use but we have had others tell us they tried a different kind. As long as it is a meat seasoning I think it would turn out okay.)
Butter
Bacon Bits
Cheese. (Grated)

Slice Potatoes very thin (we use our meat slicer and come out with very thin disc.) Coat a baking pan with butter. put in potatoes. Sprinkle seasoning on top. The amount of potatoes and seasoning are up to you and what you like. We use a little bit more of the season all and a little less of the Beef and Pork and a generous amount of the Italian. Put a couple of spoonfuls of butter on top of potatoes. Cover with foil and either bake or put on the grill for about 30 min. I sometimes bake mine at 450 for about 45 minutes. You want them to be tender. Remove cover with grated cheese and bacon bits and enjoy. I really dont want potatoes any other way now. lol....

We have made them with low fat butter and cheese for my fatherinlaw and he likes them too. (or so he says. ) Anyway, just thought I would share this with you.

I am going to try and get a couple of more recipes up here later. I dont know though I have cranky kids.

Love and Prayers.

Crockpot Enchilada (Beef)

This recipe works great for my family because we are not that crazy about red enchilada sauce and my husband is not that crazy about chicken.

1 lb ground beef
1can cream of mushroom soup
1 can cream of chicken soup
1 can rotel
4 cups grated cheese
6-8 corn tortillas
1 small onion (chopped)

Scramble beef and onion until beef is brown. In seperate bowl, mix mushroom soup, chicken soup & rotel. (do not add water) In a lightly greased crockpot, put either 1 or 2 tortillas depending on size, you want them to cover the bottom. then start layering sauce, meat, cheese, tortillas. Finish with the top layer being sauce and cheese. Cook on low 4 to 6 hours. Serve with your favorite mexican dish toppings.
This is really cheesy also and it ends up making just enough for the four of us so I will probably have to start doubling it and cooking for the full 6 hours. But it is delicious.
