February 21, 2010 by Ellen · Leave a Comment 

Never overlook the recipes that come on the packaging of what you are eating! In this case, Mission flour tortillas recipes. I think I’m going to have to explore their web site for more great recipes as this was a definite winner!  My daughter felt like Mexican food and I felt like not going to [...]

Chicken Tortilla Soup Recipe

January 20, 2010 by Ellen · Leave a Comment 

This chicken tortilla soup has a nice kick to it but not too much. The avocados smooth it out, the lime juice adds a tartness, and the chips add a nice crunch. Don’t salt the broth much as the chips do that for you I find! I started with some great homemade chicken broth and [...]

Asian Chicken Lettuce Wraps Redux

January 18, 2010 by Ellen · Leave a Comment 

My girls remembered when I made these Asian Chicken Lettuce Wraps and asked for them again. Of course, this was last minute and I decided to try a modified version,  since I had no cabbage or chow mein noodles. We did miss the crunch of the chow mein noodles and water chestnuts but I substituted [...]

Chicken and Sour Cream Enchiladas

January 15, 2010 by Ellen · Leave a Comment 

Feeds 4 with lots of rice and beans and maybe a salad. Okay, I need to perfect this. It doesn’t have quite the flavor I was hoping for. I think the sour cream is key. I think maybe a tomatillo sauce instead of the green chilies could be good. Still, this was good, just a [...]

Rice Salad with Chicken, Artichokes and Red Peppers

My mom gave me this recipe. Things always taste better when she makes them but this still came out good!   I was missing one ingredient so did a substitution but I don’t think that was the critical piece. Not sure what she did different but I will try to figure it out!  For the record, [...]

King Ranch Chicken Casserole

Lots of stories about where this comes from but let me say it is a delicious casserole!  I even make it when I don’t have leftover chicken to use up. In fact, tonight I bought a whole chicken, on sale and with a 30% off coupon so about $4 for a 4 pound chicken.  I [...]

Chicken Quesadillas

I frequently end up with bits and pieces of leftover chicken. I will sometimes freeze this after dicing it and it works great in various casseroles, creamed chicken, chicken pot pies, etc. Tonight I needed something that could be ready quickly after swim team practice for my eldest. i had barbecued some marinated chicken breasts [...]

Middle Eastern Chicken Soup

April 4, 2003 by Ellen · Leave a Comment 

My mom gave me this soup recipe a few months ago and for some reason I just got around to trying it. Delicious! A bit spicy for kids but I imagine you could leave out the cayenne pepper and it would be a hit. She had peas, dill, and lemon juice added at the end [...]
