Dinner Recipes

Who doesn't love a homemade dinner - especially one that doesn't take forever to make!

Most of the time I see recipes and then make my own rendition based upon what I have and what I like - since Tim and I are the ones eating it :)

Last night I made chicken taquitos and they were oh so good. The recipe follows:

12 6" tortillas
2 cooked chicken breasts
1 red onion
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp paprika
2 cups veg broth
1 cup monterrey jack cheese or fav cheese blend

Preheat oven to 400 degrees

Add onions to a hot oiled pan and cook til translucent then add spices and cook for 2-3 min
After chicken has been cooked (I normally just bake in the oven) shred into small pieces - not thick chunks
Add veg broth to pan large enough to hold tortillas and bring to a simmer; once brought to a simmer place the tortillas into pan one at a time for 2 seconds just to coat and soften
Place tortilla on work surface and then fill with combined chicken and onion mixture then add about 1-2 tbsp to the top and then wrap the tortilla
Once wrapped place seem side down on a oil coated bake pan and then brush the tops with oil before putting in oven

Bake for 15 minutes and serve immediately

You can eat them as is or with some beans - Enjoy

One great thing I plan on doing is going through my fav recipes and organizing them within my blog - I think that will be great!

So be on the look out for some updates - really soon!

Breakfast Foods

Who doesn't love breakfast? Whether it is just cereal or my husband's infamous egg and cheese on a roll...it is always fun to make! A few good things for breakfast are homemade oatmeal and even just a fruit salad with granola...the possibilities are limitless when it comes to breakfast foods. I hope to make a new post with some breakfast recipes - especially some of my favorites! A great thing to have too is a shake...especially one that is packed with yogurt and granola - that's right granola! Be back soon!

Here we go...

Ever since I was in grade school I had a passion for cooking and watching Food Network and good 'ol Martha. I thought I wanted to be a chef when I grew up...I'm semi-grown-up now and I'm not a REAL chef, but heck I'm a chef at my house! I sometimes think that I love cooking and baking for others more than myself...especially my husband! I used to record a show with my Aunt when I was in grade school, it was called, H & S Catering...we'd use the cookie presser and make cookies and just fun stuff all the time :) Now that I have the kitchen of my dreams, I just can't get out of there...whether it is making a scrumptious meal or making oatmeal chocolate chip cookies at 11 p.m.

I'm looking forward to seeing where this will go and hopefully you'll be inspired by my taste for adventure in recipes!
