Creamy Chicken Chow Mein

 This recipe is from our Grandma Dee.


Its one of our favorites.    Its hotdishy, and comforting, and satly and best of all makes me think of her and who doesn't love when their favorite Grandma comes to mind.

Ingredients:
6 ounces packaged chow mein noodles
2 cups cubed cooked chicken
1 can cream of mushroom
1 can cream of chicken
1 cup milk
1 (8ounce) can water chestnuts (undrained)
1 (4ounce) can sliced mushrooms (undrained)

In a baking dish, place 1/2 the chow mein noodles.  
In a separate bowl, combine the chicken, cans of soup, milk, water chestnuts and mushrooms (both with juices) in a bowl.    Spoon over the chow mein noodles.  
Cover with rest of chow mein noodles.  

Bake at 325 degrees for 40+ minutes (uncovered).

We serve this over white rice (which I hope you know how to make).  Sometimes use a splash of soy sauce to salt it up more for us adults.  

4 Stars---we can get everyone to eat it (5 star); but it looks funny and its work to get it down, so they usually don't eat it all.   But they will still ask for it as leftovers.   Stinker kids.  BUT I've never met an adult who didn't love it!

MN Wild Rice Burgers

After a recent trip to Duluth, where I had the BEST wild rice burger at Fitgers Brewhouse, I came home and decided to try my hand at it.    I googled and found this recipe that even MENTIONED Fitgers version, so I knew I had to start there!   I started off by cooking up a batch of wild rice.   I'd say it made about 3 cups cooked. While the wild rice was cooking, I sautéed up some minced garlic, diced celery and diced onions in a tablespoon of olive oil.  Until they were translucent.  As an after though I threw these in a food chopper because I knew chunks of these items in a burger would turn my kids off! Once that was done, I mixed my wild rice and sautéed veggie mix together.   Next I threw in 1/2 cup of breadcrumbs.  The recipe above called for Asiago cheese, I however could not find any and instead used shredded parmesan.   I seasoned the mix with sea salt, crushed black pepper, oregano, thyme, paprika and caye...

Taco Soup

 My blood, sweat and tears went into this one.  Its a toughy.  Okay; skip the sweat, the blood and tears just came from the butter knife I used to chop up the chicken.  WHO manages to slice open a finger with a BUTTER KNIFE?!  Oh, yeah, MOI! Other than that event; this may have been the easiest thing I've cooked in months.     The hardest part of this recipe was the fact that Fareway foods did not carry green enchilada sauce, and I had to decide what to do instead.   Here is the cast of characters: 1 (15 oz.) can black beans, drained and rinsed 1 (15 oz.) can pinto beans, drained and rinsed 1 (14.5 oz.) can petite diced tomatoes, drained 1 (15.25 oz.) can sweet corn, drained --Oh ha, you don't see this in my picture!??  Silly me; its certainly NOT because I hate corn.  Nope....must have just been missing.    1 (12.5 oz.) can white chicken breast, drained 1 (10.75 oz.) can cream of chicken soup 1 (10 oz.) c...
