I Can Never Have Too Much Mexican Food

Ingredients:

1 pound chicken breasts
1 packet of chicken taco seasoning
1 small chicken bouillon cube
1 pkg of corn tortillas
1 can green enchilada sauce
2 cups Monterrey jack cheese
1 can cream of chicken soup
1 cup sour cream
1 small can of mild green chili's
1 cup re fried beans (optional)

So the recipe might seem a little odd because I had ingredients I just wanted to use up such as the re fried beans. I am glad I did it though because it was delicious.

Directions:
Start by placing chicken breasts in large pot over medium heat with taco seasoning, water, and chicken bouillon. Cover and allow to simmer until chicken is tender enough to shred. When Chicken is cooked add re fried beans. Add 1 cup of cheese and half of green chili's (or less depending on how spicy you like it) to chicken mixture. Place mixture in tortillas and roll up. Place rolled up tortillas into casserole dish that has half of the green enchilada sauce already covering the bottom of the pan. Pour the remaining half of green enchilada sauce over the top. Bring sour cream and cream of chicken soup mixture to a simmer and pour of enchiladas. Cover the rest with the remaining cheese and place in oven for 30 minutes at 375 degrees covered in tinfoil. Serve and Enjoy!

Germaphobe

1) Someone who has a genuine phobia of germs and is obsessed with cleanliness.



but I think it would be gross to eat a cake that has been touched by so many bare hands. Here is the question:
Am I crazy for thinking that is not okay to have cake that has been touched like that?

Well Hello Again!

.....who am I kidding? I have never seen you before in my life! I don't own running shoes, but I do own "run around the kitchen like a maniac with dog chasing you because it is too hot outside for the baby" SHOES. However, Those aren't really working for me right now so sometimes I put on my " workout to DANCE OF THE POUNDS dvd" SHOES", but those always turn into my " dance on my own because the chicks on t.v. are way too advanced for me" SHOES. Or maybe I should call them "my moves are too good for you tv,dance, workout lady" SHOES. Either way I have taken a hiatus from working out for way too long, but don't know where to begin. If someone could dig a hole in my backyard and fill it with cement and water so I can swim off the pounds that would work great and I wouldn't even need my SHOES! Thanks to whoever told me that nursing is like running a marathon it burns so many calories. That sure makes me feel better especially when I nurse with a cookie and chocolate milk in one hand(yeah you try that). In any event I should stop complaining and do something about it. Perhaps I could do something out of the ordinary like make dear husband angry with me (I wouldn't even know HOW to do that) and he could send me to this prison in the Philippines where I could really workout! Yes folks it is another great youtube video. Feel free to check out this prison's other great performances. They are amazing.

Honey- Soy Broiled Salmon

I was tired of chicken and my husband had been eating steak every night at the fire station so SALMON it was! Thanks to food network I came up with this tasty catch!
Ingredients

* 1 scallion, minced
* 2 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
* 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
* 1 tablespoon honey
* 1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger
* 1 pound center-cut salmon fillet, skinned (see Tip) and cut into 4 portions
* 1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds (see Tip)

Directions

Whisk scallion, soy sauce, vinegar, honey and ginger in a medium bowl until the honey is dissolved. Place salmon in a sealable plastic bag, add 3 tablespoons of the sauce and refrigerate; let marinate for 15 minutes. Reserve the remaining sauce.

Preheat broiler. Line a small baking pan with foil and coat with cooking spray. Transfer the salmon to the pan, skinned-side down. (Discard the marinade.) Broil the salmon 4 to 6 inches from the heat source until cooked through, 6 to 10 minutes. Drizzle with the reserved sauce and garnish with sesame seeds. Serve and Enjoy!


To toast seeds: Cook in a small dry skillet over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until fragrant and lightly browned, 2 to 4 minutes.

Question-

So I was sitting at a salon today waiting to get the caterpillar's turned back into eyebrows as I do every two weeks. I sat next to the only other person waiting who smiled at me and smiled at my baby, and went back to her magazine. She seemed very interested in her magazine and I was interested in how long

"we will bring you back in 5 minutes"

really was since the clock said it had been 15. As I was judging how long the little one was going to patient and staring at the employees I heard the lady next to me say

"Now those are just incredible!"

My question is: was I supposed to look? Was I supposed to say something? Or was that just the sweet little lady talking to herself? Have you been that lady? Wouldn't it of been weird if I did look or asked her what she was looking at? What if she wanted me to mind my own business?

Just wondering...

How about some Fish Tacos?!

Forget all of those other recipes! This is the one you want!

1 pkg of corn tortillas
1 jar of jalapeno ranch dressing
1 jar of your favorite mango salsa
1 can of black beans
1 pkg of chopped cabbage (purple or green)
1 pkg of Fish Fry
2 cups of your favorite fish cut up into inch chunks
2 cups oil
1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese

I used cod fillets. Dip them in water and then into the fish fry mixture and then cook in the hot oil. Place spoonful of warmed black beans on tortilla first, followed by the cabbage, fish, salsa, ranch dressing, and then top with cheese. Serve and Enjoy! It is truly that easy and delicious!

Update:
I forgot to buy the ranch dressing when I made them today and I think I liked it just the same. So if you would like to use less ingredients go for it. Also, if you double up on the tortillas your filling will not fall through. I hate that!
