Easy Recipes

Of course it would be nice if I had pictures, but I don't.

Instead, I have Super Easy recipes that taste really good, so I thought I'd share.

Easy Cheesy Enchiladas

1 can Costco chicken breast
1 can chopped green chilies (4 oz.)
1/2 small yellow onion, diced - keep it raw
Monterrey Jack Cheese - about 1 1/2 cups, grated
(I used sliced from the Costco multi-cheese pack and just grated it, holding it all together)
1 pkg. flour tortillas (I used 8 out of the 10 pack)
1 can (15 oz.) tomato sauce
1 tsp. chili powder

Pour 1/3 can of tomato sauce in the bottom of a glass 9 x 13 pan.
Shake a little of your chili powder over it.
Mix the chicken, chilies, onion, and cheese.
Spoon into the center of the tortillas and roll them up and place into the glass pan.
Pour the remainder of the chili powder into the can of tomato sauce. Stir with a spoon then pour the rest of that tomato sauce over the rolled tortillas. Cover with foil and place in your refrigerator for 3 hours.
(I had a doctor's appt. and wanted them ready to bake when I got home, but I think I'm going to do this before church on Sunday too.)
Take out, remove the foil and bake at 350 for 25 -30 minutes. (Peek inside and see if the cheese is bubbing, then its done.)

This took about five minutes to put together and MyMike LOVED these - It's a keeper!
Sad news for me, though, I'm trying to be dairy free this month, so I had leftover chili and listened to the raves. Then I had to try one bite, and it was really good so if you're up with cheese, try this:-)

Italian Flat Bread

I got this recipe from my sister-in-law, Rebecca, at Thanksgiving last year. I've adapted it a bit and highly recommend it!

In a bowl combine
1 cup white flour
1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. sugar
one packet quick-rise yeast
1 c. very warm water
1 T. olive oil

Knead 1-2 minutes. Let rise in bowl for 20 minutes. Pat into a circular shape on a lightly greased round pizza stone.
Season with salt, garlic powder, oregano and thyme all over. Drizzle olive oil lightly over everything. Sprinkle half with grated parmesan cheese. Bake at 450 for 15 min. When it comes out, use your pizza cutter to slice into triangle wedges and serve. My children love this! Me too!
(Rebecca's version had Italian dressing brushed across the dough before adding the seasonings and cheese across the whole thing. It was really good, but its good without it too. Try it either way.)

And, my new favorite breakfast:

Autumn Spice Granola -
Adapted form Myra's blog - Happy Housewife Loving Life
I'm making my second batch tomorrow.

3 1/2 cups old fashioned oats
1/2 cup ground flax
1/2 cup raw sunflower seeds
1 T. cinnamon plus 1/2 teaspoon
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup pure maple syrup
1/2 cup canned pumpkin
1/8 cup unsweetened apple sauce
2 tsp. vanilla
3/4 cup raisins

Combine dry ingredients in a large bowl. Mix liquid ingredients and pour over the dry. Stir until well coated. Pour it into 1 10 x 15 sheet pan lined with a silpat. Bake at 350 for 20 minutes. Take out and stir it all around the bake it for another 10-15 minutes until evenly browned. (Keep your eye on it the last few minutes.) Cool and store in an airtight container and Enjoy!
This tastes like Fall in every spoonful!

Bon Appetit!
