Cowboy Nachos




What do you call something when you make it up?

It's the hardest thing to name something!

Take your child, for example . . .remember how you thought about it; wrote it out; said it out loud; thought of other children with the same name . . . and changed the name of your child?

Well, now just think about that same process, but for a recipe!

It's so stressful!

This recipe is made up . . .according to me!

I cooked a pork loin the other night.

Which means leftovers.

Days of left overs!

I try to make our left overs not look like left overs.

Because I don't like left overs.

So when they look different, my mind is fooled.

It's a great trick I play on myself!

On day number three of still having pork loin -- I came up with this little treat.

We were all pleased.

As in "All!"

What's great; if you need this to be gluten free, just use your gluten free foods!  It's that easy!

Cowboy Nachos

1 package frozen waffle fries
BBQ seasoning
BBQ pork, left overs
chopped onion
shredded cheddar cheese
chopped dill pickles
cole slaw, left over, and well drained
BBQ sauce

Place the waffle fries on a foil lined baking pan and sprinkle generously with BBQ seasoning.  If you don't have that spice, just go with some salt and pepper.  No big deal!

The last 5 remaining minutes of fry cooking time, add the desired amount of chopped onions and left over chopped BBQ pork.

Heat thoroughly.

Once the meat is steaming hot, sprinkle lightly . . .or heavily, with the shredded cheddar cheese.

Return the pan to the oven and melt the cheese.

Remove from the oven and top the cheese with the chopped pickles and the cole slaw.  Drizzle the whole thing with BBQ sauce and serve immediately!

Charleston's Style Potato Soup

Love Charleston's! Love everything I ever eat at Charleston's. Love the blackened fish sandwich, which isn't listed on the menu but you can still order it, with glazed carrots. Love the carrots! Love the chicken fingers;  the best there are!  I rarely order them -- because it's not a healthy choice, but oh boy!  They're delish! Love the honey glazed croissant. L.O.V.E! Love the pork chops with smashed potatoes and glazed carrots. Love the potato soup! Seriously adore it! It's thick. It's simple. It's delicious! We don't have a Charleston's where we live. Boo hoo! Here's a close replica of Charleston's baked potato soup.  I found it at www.tastebook.com   I made some adjustments to the recipe.  Not because I think I "know," but because I didn't have everything on hand nor can my sweet girl cherub have some of the ingredients.  I made it and didn't tell my family what it was su

Neiman Marcus' Chicken Tortilla Soup

 I've been to eat at Neiman Marcus one time. It was really good! "Everyone" talks about the Neiman Marcus cafe and the things they love from there. Because I've only been once, my variety of selection is limited! However, I have had lunch with friends that serve this Neiman Marcus soup recipe. It is so delicious that I wanted to pass it along to you! If your weather is like our weather, one day you're making soup and the next your grilling out! But because these are simple ingredients, you'll be able to throw it together in a moments notice!

Creamy Poblano Chicken Dinner

Picture used from "My Recipes.com" My picture didn't look nearly as appetizing! We've been eating this since the late 90's. Oh man!  That sounds like we're really old! This is one of those fantastic Southern Living Recipes that looks really hard, sounds really gourmet-ish, and is so easy! Whenever the Mr. requests his birthday dinner, it's always this meal! He had his 43rd birthday yesterday! To go along with his new "older" age, we recently counted the number of doctors he has. Yes, doctors! Right now in life, it's not his social outlet to visit these physicians on a regular basis . .  .but none-the-less, he has a well-rounded network of doctors that can take care of any need of his, ranging from his head to his toes. What a treat it is to get older. But with getting older comes this meal! Serve this with a green salad and dessert and you'll be the hit of the party! Creamy Poblano Chi
