Wow, the last few weeks have been so busy. I've been subbing a lot in the afternoons, which means I stay until 5:30, which means I get home around 6:30, which means I don't have time for blogging :/ Hopefully this week will be less crazy and I can post a few things I haven't had time to post yet! But for now, here's a few recipes that we've tried lately that have been delicious!!
-This first one is a dish we had last night... it was SO yummy. And I actually can't take any credit for it. I worked until 5:30, so I sent the recipe to Z. He and Joe cooked it, and it was amazing!! I got this recipe from Six Sister's Stuff for Alice Springs Chicken {like from Outback}. Not too many ingredients or steps... just yummy!
Ingredients:
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts, pounded to 1/2 inch thickness
seasoning salt
6 slices bacon, cut in half
1/4 cup mustard
1/3 cup honey
2 tablespoons mayo
1/2 tablespoon dried onion flakes
1 tablespoon cooking oil
1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
2 cups shredded Colby/Jack cheese
Directions:
Sprinkle and rub the chicken breasts with seasoning salt. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes. Cook bacon in a large skillet until crisp.
In a small bowl, mix the mustard, honey, mayo and dried onion flakes.
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Place chicken in the skillet and saute for 3 to 5 minutes per side, or until browned. Move chicken to an 11x7 inch or 9x9 inch pan.
Apply the honey mustard to each breast, then layer with mushrooms, bacon, and shredded cheese.
Bake in a 350° oven for 20-25 minutes, or until cheese is melted and chicken is done.
-Here's another recipe we tried the other night. I wanted to make some yummy snacks to have while we watched the Academy Awards. I found this recipe on Pinterest and it was so yummy too! Here is a similar version from Love Decliciousness . I subbed the blue cheese crumbles for about 2 tablespoons of cream cheese. And we dipped ours in Ranch dressing! Yum!!
Ingredients
* 2-3 medium size chicken breasts
* Buffalo sauce (we used Frank's)
* Blue cheese crumbles
* Shredded cheddar cheese (we used colby jack but I think cheddar would be best)
* 1 container refrigerated crescent rolls (we used Pillsbury)
Directions
Boil chicken until tender. Shred. Mix in about 1/2 cup of buffalo sauce and the blue cheese crumbles. Separate crescent rolls. Spoon a small amount of chicken mixture on each crescent. Top with shredded cheese. Roll up and bake according to package directions.
-Okay, one last recipe! Something sweet ;) I found this on Pinterest too... and it was really good. We snacked on it during the Super Bowl, and then Z snacked on the left overs until we ran out of vanilla wafer cookies!! This recipe is from Eat Yourself Skinny. I served ours with vanilla wafers, but animal cookies would be good too! We also dipped apples in it... yum!
Here are your ingredients:
1 (18.9 oz) box Funfetti cake mix
2 cups fat-free plain yogurt
1 cup lite Cool Whip
Fat-free animal crackers
In a large bowl, mix together cake mix, plain yogurt and Cool Whip until completely combined and you see no more lumps. Cover with plastic wrap and allow to chill for about 4 hours. Garnish with additional sprinkles if desired and serve with animal crackers, enjoy!
On another note... it is snowing like crazy outside right now! Unfortunately, our car is in the shop, so we had to take a bus/train to work. This was kind of good because the roads are a little slushy, but no so good because it meant alot of walking and waiting in the snow. And it took me an hour and a half to get home :/ Here's hoping we get our car back asap!
Check back later this week... I promise to post more than once!!
