 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...

My friend Julie gave me this recipe.  But you know me; I had to adjust it a wee bit.

This week I've been repeating recipes I've already posted.  But since I'm taking the time to figure out the Calories in them I'm going back and updating that on the posts.    Its nice to have.    I'm giving the ones I've done so far a CalorieCount label so that I can search recipes on the calories as well.   So far these have been updated: Chicken Spaghetti Beef Enchirrito Pork Chops and Rice And who are we kidding; it seems just silly to even look at the calories on those "fried" foods I've done, those are definitely splurge items! I'll also try to add pictures to any recipes missing them.  

This is one of my favorite Pioneer Woman Recipes:   Beef and Bean Burritos.     But I personally think they are more of an enchillada meets burrito.   With the sauce on the top and all.   Of course; I'm lazy, so I often tweek these recipes to make them easier on me, so its not exactly hers but close.   Ingredients: 2 lbs hamburger 2 tbsp minced onion 1 can Mexican Tomato Sauce (El Pato is my favorite) Salt, Pepper, Cumin, Oregano, Chili Powder and Garlic (To taste) 1 can refried beans 1 cup shredded cheddar Flour tortillas Cilantro Instructions: Brown hamburger with minced onions and seasonings to taste.    Pour sauce in and simmer over low heat. Heat refried beans in a sauce pan and sprinkle in 1/2 cup shredded cheddar.   Warm tortillas in microwave. Spread some beans on each tortilla.  Add a few spoon fulls of meat.   Fold up "burrito" style and place on a plate.    Drizzle with extra re...

Well; its Super Bowl Sunday.   And boy would I LOVE to send the husband to BW3's for about 50$ worth of wings; but that really wouldn't pay off with all the hard work I've been putting in since Christmas.   So when I saw this on Pinterest, I HAD to try it!    Ingredients:  1 head of cauliflower (cut up) 1 cup buttermilk 1 cup all-purpose flour 2 teaspoons garlic salt 1 cup franks red hot 1 tbsp butter Ranch or celery for serving Directions: Preheat your oven to 450. In a large bowl, whisk the buttermilk, flour and garlic salt.   Carefully place the cauliflower in the bowl and lightly toss to coat with the mixture. Place the cauliflower in a shallow baking dish and bake for about 15-18 minutes. Melt the butter and mix with the franks. Remove the hot cauliflower from the oven and pour the buffalo sauce mixture over it, stirring gently to coat. Return the cauliflower to the oven and bake another 5-8 minutes.     Cool and...
