Quick and Easy meals....


In my never ending quest for organization, I am trying to meal plan.
I think everyone at my house was amazed that a ham sandwich was good with jam!

Here are a few of my recent meals. The pancake mix is versatile and I will post more recipes utilizing the mix. The taquitos were a huge hit. I tweaked the recipe from ourbestbites.com

Chili



I am thinking about campfire meals right now. I saw a recipe for corn pancakes to make over your campfire and serve with chili. I need to try this...
1/2 cup of beer
1 egg
1 cup corn muffin mix
Combine beer and egg. Stir in muffin mix until almost smooth. Bake on
hot, lightly greased griddle until golden. Place 2-3 pancakes on a plate and
top with chili.

Doesn't that sound good?

Brown Sugar Chicken Revisited


Okay, I tried the recipe the way it was written for the crock pot and I didn't really care for it. So this is the way I had the chicken and it was delicious.
I actually had frozen the ingredients in a ziplock and thawed during the day and then stuck it all in a pan to cook on the stove. Nothing scientific about the cooking method.

Chicken-Chinese Take Out style & Kettle Corn



The brown sugar chicken recipe is one to try for sure! I found this on A Year of Crockpotting. I stuck all of the ingredients in a ziplock bag and froze it. Pulled it out on Sunday and forgot the crockpot part. I heated the mixture to a boil on the stove top and then turned it to medium heat. Cooked the chicken through, then turned it to low and let it simmer. We thought we were at the local Chinese Buffet.

Granola and Yogurt




These recipes were snagged and tweaked. The yogurt came from A Year of Crockpotting, but using Greek yogurt as the starter made mine turn out great. Remember to save a cup as a starter for your next batch.
Granola is our new favorite snack.
