Not on Facebook -- but I'm trying a Blog!

This doesn't make sense! I'm boycotting Facebook but I'm thinking about keeping up with a blog? Where is the rationale with this, one might ask! Honestly, I'm not sure I like this either! However, I get several requests for recipes or "how did ya do that?" questions so I thought maybe this is the venue for me! I'll give it a try for a little while and if it's not fitting into my schedule, I'll go back to the "old fashioned" e-mail! Until then, thanks for laughing with me!

Back in the Spring I started a "casserole club" with 3 other women. The purpose was to enlarge my circle (not my waist!), enjoy cooking with other women, and to end our time together by 4 new casseroles to pop into my freezer!

Here is a recipe from one of my trials! You know, you have to make it before you'll do it with for others!

Santa Fe Chicken

Saute:
1 onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 T. olive oil
Add:
9 oz chopped chicken (just eyeball the amount!)
2 -- 15oz cans black beans, drained
24 oz jar thick salsa

1 cup taco sauce (this is different than salsa, but use what you like)
8 corn tortillas
1 cup sour cream
2 cups colby jack cheese, shredded

Layer 1/2 of the taco sauce in the bottom of a 9X9 pan. Place 4 corn tortillas, 1/2 chicken mixture, dollop about 1/2 of the sour cream on top of chicken and sprinkle 1/2 of the shredded cheese. Repeat the layers; ending with the shredded cheese on top.

Either freeze your casserole or bake at 350 for 30-45 minutes or until heated.

Serve with a simple salad and your meal is complete!

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!

Chicken and Artichoke Casserole

Picture from Cooking with Paula Deen ( . . .and aren't those cute dishes!) We first had this delicious casserole on Mother's Day while feasting at "Dining on Persimmon Hill," which is a restaurant at the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum in Oklahoma City, OK. Side note --- if you have the chance to visit the Museum, please take advantage of the opportunity. It is a wonderful experience! And don't forget to eat at the museum restaurant. It's delish! So back to the casserole. After eating it we knew we had to find out the recipe! The owner of the restaurant graciously shared her secret! It's a Paula Deen; which means it's full of fat AND yummy flavor! This casserole is a hit with my cherubs and the Mr. Also, whenever I make it for friends, they always want the recipe . . . maybe they're just being nice, I'm not sure! When you look at the recipe, you might think it's a pain, but really, it is so easy! Especial
