I found this thin sliced spicy chicken at Stater Bros. and while I wasn't sure just HOW spicy it would be. I also wasn't sure what I would do with it, but it was a damn good price and I thought I would make something a little more leaning towards something I would want to eat. I see recipes for stuffed chicken and chicken wraps so I thought I would figure something out.
I looked at different recipes for what they stuffed or rolled into chicken and I came up with cream cheese, some shredded cheddar jack, and a little bit of spinach. I admit I overcooked it just a bit, because I wasn't sure if it would take longer for the inside to cook, but it didn't. However, the taste was delicious. I don't usually see the spicy chicken, but I can probably do it with regular chicken and add different spices.
I made a beef stew also, but I didn't take pictures. Easy crock pot stew that was warm on the inside, except everyone in this house is weird about vegetables. Everyone will eat the potatoes. SR will only eat onions, the boys, just the carrots. I'm the only one who will eat the mushrooms and everything else. So serving it was a bit of a chore and everyone's bowl looked a little bit different. sigh...
These are egg muffins. One of my friends posted this on the internet. Except hers looked really good. These look kinda wrecked. They did taste pretty good though. I made them so I can grab a few to take to work for breakfast. I did it for about three days, after forgetting the first day. They were tasty, good reheated with some salt. However after three days, they just felt kinda slimy in the bag. Probably condensation- but I have a weird thing about wet eggs. But they are not going to waste, because SR had a few and Max really likes them too.
Now for something sweet.
Last week cake and brownie mix was on sale for .99 each if you buy 4. So I bought 4- and then a few days later I bought 4 more. I realized that the snacks I was buying for the kids lunches was costing me about $10 a week. And if I made brownies at home, it would cost me maybe $2.00. So I made a batch of brownies and used my mini muffin pan. It made 40 little brownie bites. And guess what, you can FREEZE them. So I put them in a ziploack and every day I took some out for the kids lunches. They were defrosted by lunchtime and they said they tastes delicious!! Go mom!!!
Since I then had 3 boxes of brownies and 4 boxes of cake in my pantry, I decided to look up recipes for cake mix. When I read "cake mix cookies" I thought- whaaaaaa?????
Cake mix
1 tsp of baking powder
1/2 cup of vegetable oil
2 eggs
I c chocolate chips.
They are delicious!!! A little sweeter than the usual chocolate chip cookies- one or two is quite enough, But really good. Easy to make. Bake for 10 min at 375 and while they are cooling, the sort of settle. They look fluffy and cakey when you take them out of the oven- but after about 5 minutes cooling, they flatten out and they look and taste awesome.
Very light in color, but delicious.
Imagine the possibilities! Red velvet with white chocolate chips. Chocolate cake and mint chips, or peanut butter chips. Ohhhh the sweets.... I love the sweets.
As you can imagine, the kids and SR are really loving my domestic abilities.
