Summer Chicken Salad

This is the best and easiest Salad. I actually got this Recipe from Michon, I think it was one of Aunt Marilyns.

Ingredients:

• Chicken-Cut into small pieces (I always cook a little more, because it really cooks down)
• Honey Mustard Dressing (Briannas Brand)
• Strawberries
• Grapes
• Blueberries (You can use whatever fruit you have, this is my favorite combination)
• Salad (I like to do half lettuce and half Spinach)
• Poppy Seed Dressing (Briannas Brand--They are the best)

Put the chicken in a lightly greased pan, flavor with salt and pepper, add Honey Mustard Dressing, add enough to cover the chicken, then start cooking. I like to cook the chicken until it is brown and a little crispy, you may need to add a little more honey mustard towards the end, I always do.

Once chicken is cooked, layer salad, fruit and chicken, and top with the Poppy Seed dressing! Enjoy!!!

Chicken Pot Pie

4-5 chicken breasts boiled and cubed (I used bottled chicken and I used 1 1/2 bottles)
1 can cream of celery
1 can cream of chicken
1 can cream of potato
1 8 oz bag of frozen mixed veggies boil or steam for a few minutes so they are not totally frozen. (I got a 16oz bag and used more than half, I wanted more veggies)
2 deep dish pie crusts (I used the frozen Marie Calenders'. They come in a two-pack)
2 pastry sheets/pie tops (1 box of the Pillsbury brand has 2 sheets inside and works perfect)

Combine all the ingredients in a big bowl and mix together. Pour half the mixture into each pie crust and then cover with a pastry sheet pinching around the edges. Score the pie tops with a fork.

Bake @ 400 for 45 minutes.

Sorry if this recipe isn't very detailed. It's one of those that my mom told me over the phone that my sister had told her over the phone, but I thought it turned out really good and I liked that it made 2 pies. So we ate one (over a couple of days), and now I have another one in the freezer already made that will just need to be heated. It's another really easy and quick dinner. I'm kind of the queen of those these days...

My families Chili

1 lb ground beef, browned
1 can black beans (drained and rinsed)
1 can white beans
1 can chili beans
1 can corn (drain some of the juice)
1 can tomato puree
1 can diced tomatoes
1 packet taco seasoning

Throw it all into a crock pot and cook on low for 4 or 5 hours.
Optional: Serve over tortilla chips and topped with sour cream and shredded cheese.

This is the easiest chili recipe I've ever made and it's my favorite.

Chocolate Chip Cookie Pie

1 unbaked 9-inch pie crust, homemade or store-bought.
2 large eggs
1/2 C flour
1/2 C white granulated sugar
1/2 C packed brown sugar
3/4 C real butter, softened (1 1/2 sticks)
1 C chocolate chips (semi-sweet or dark works best, you might find milk too sweet)
1 C chopped pecans (you are welcome to make it without nuts)

Vanilla ice cream, or sweetened whipped cream for serving

optional: chocolate sauce (honestly, doesn’t really need chocolate sauce, but it looks pretty!)

Preheat oven to 325° F.

Beat eggs in large mixer bowl on high speed until foamy. Beat in flour, granulated sugar and brown sugar. Beat in butter. Stir in morsels and nuts. Spoon into pie shell.

Bake for 55 to 60 minutes or until knife inserted halfway between edge and center comes out clean. Cool on wire rack or serve slightly warmed. Serve with ice cream or whipped cream.

This treat is incredibly easy and fast to make, and is SO good!

Whole Wheat Pecan Waffles

These are my very favorite waffles! They are so so yummy. We hosted a dinner party last Saturday and had breakfast-for-dinner. These (and the coconut syrup) were everyone's favorite.

1 3/4 cup whole wheat flour
1 tsp. salt
1 Tbsp. baking powder
1/2 cup chopped pecans

Stir the above ingredients together. Set aside.
In a separate bowl combine:

1 3/4 cup milk
1/2 cup vegetable oil (I substitute 1/2 c. apple sauce)
2 eggs, beaten

Stir egg mixture into flour mixture just until moistened. Grease waffle iron and bake.

Brussels Sprouts

Boil a pot of water and then add whole Brussels Sprouts to boiling water.  Boil for 3 minutes. Drain. Put in cold water and let them cool.  Once cooled, cut off ends and cut the Brussels Sprout in 1/2 long ways.

Put chopped bacon (I have used Turkey Bacon and it works great too) in pan and start heating it.  Once the bacon has started to cook add the Brussels Sprouts.  Add salt, pepper, and garlic and brown.  Top with shredded Parmesan cheese.
