Quick, Tasty, Easy Chicken


It’s Kitchen Tip Tuesday and I’m letting the world in on our secret, yummy chicken we make a lot.

Ingredients:

Chicken – legs, thighs, breasts, basically whatever chicken you want to eat
Olive Oil
Garlic Salt – or not if you’re doing no salt I just LOVE garlic salt
Soy Sauce
Mrs. Dash Extra Spicy (I promise it’s not spicy – just tasty) Seasoning
Mrs. Dash Chicken Seasoning

Here’s What You Do:

Line your pan w/Olive Oil – not thick, just enough to cover the bottom.
Put your chicken in the pan – then sprinkle all of your seasonings, soy sauce and olive oil (just a little of olive oil) over the top of the chicken. Cover and cook on medium. After it’s cooked on the one side, flip over and once again sprinkle all of your seasonings, soy sauce and olive oil (just a little of olive oil) over that side of the chicken. Cover and continue to cook on med-low until done.

Okay, I know I suck at explaining recipes, but I hope you get the idea here. If you have any questions just let me know in my comments and I’ll reply in my comments. There’s flavor in every bite!

Rock Hard Brown Sugar


It’s Tuesday, which means Tammy is hosting another Kitchen Tip Tuesday This week I’m going to let you in on a little trick that I just recently learned about brown sugar and how to make it back into soft sugar after being rock hard. All you do is add a slice of soft bread inside of the bag and close it tightly. After a few hours it will be soft again. For other kitchen tips head over to Tammy’s Blog

Enchilada Pie

It’s Kitchen Tip Tuesday!! Today I thought I’d share my favorite recipe with you. This recipe is perfect if you’re having a dinner party, because it feeds many and makes their mouths water.

14-16 White Corn Tortillas
1 1/2 Large cans of refried beans
1 Packet of Lowry’s Enchilada Sauce (it comes in a white packet where the taco seasoning packets are)
1 6oz can of tomatoe paste (Enchilada Sauce requires this)
2 1/2lbs of hamburger
2lbs of Cheese (I use Colby-Jack)
Olive Oil (or whatever oil you use)

Preheat oven at 350

  1. Cook enchilada sauce according to the directions on the back of the packet
  2. Fry your tortillas by placing them in the oil flat and getting slightly hard (very important that they’re still soft.
  3. Take each tortilla and dip in enchilada sauce and after you dip lay it on the bottom of your casserole pan – what’s left over after layering the bottom is for the top 🙂
  4. Cover the tortillas with the beans
  5. Cover the beans with cheese
  6. Then comes the hamburger that you’ve cooked
  7. Then dip the remaining tortillas and put on top of the meat and then cover with the rest of the cheese and pour the remaining sauce all over

Bake on 350 for 30-45 minutes and then serve ~ goes great w/a nice green salad w/red wine vinegar and oil.

Get rid of that icky sponge!


It’s another case of Kitchen Tip Tuesday Last week I asked for advice on cleaning my oven and I’m proud to say that I have been back to baking w/out starting fires!! What I did was soak the burnt apple drip on the bottom of the over w/White Vinegar and then scraped the bottom w/a metal spatula.. then I got the remaining off just by cleaning it w/a White Vinegar & water solution. Thank you everyone for all of your advice. And Tammy, thank you for the recent tip on using baking soda to put the fire out next time (but there won’t be a next time LOL) Okay! Now on to this week’s tip:

Do you have that icky sponge in your sink still? The one that seems to reek of mildew… well, then you need to go to the baby section and buy this! It has a suction cup on the bottom and so the water drips down and it doesn’t get that mildew smell. If you have a baby – you can color code it. Pink for baby, blue for dishes. Or however you want to do it.

Cleaning the Oven

This is my first time ever participating in Tammy’s Kitchen Tip Tuesday. This week instead of giving a tip we are requesting a tip on something in the kitchen we need. I need a tip on cleaning the oven. Over the Thanksgiving holiday my mom’s boyfriend cooked an apple pie. And I guess it dripped down onto my oven. I then went to cook chicken one night and there was smoke coming out of my oven…. NOT GOOD! So, I ended up eating at Subway that night. Then one night I was hosting a dinner party. I was having some friends and the missionaries over for dinner and I was making Enchilada Pie. I had prayed oven off on the bottom of the oven earlier and tried cleaning it off, but I guess I wasn’t as successful as I thought I was because while I was putting the Enchilada Pie together with my oven preheating I looked down to see flames in my oven…….HOLY $*&^% If my husband was not home my house would be burnt down. At the sight of flames I screamed, turned around grabbed my baby, ran to the stairs and yelled for Jayden to get his butt down here the house was on fire… grabbed the phone and was getting ready to dial 911 while running out of the house… when my husband says, “Amanda, calm down I put it out.” So I guess my husband grabbed the water hose thingy on the sink and sprayed the fire and put it out…. I’ve heard that’s not really a smart thing to do, but whatever it worked. I called a friend of mine that was coming to dinner at my house and she came and picked up my enchilada pie and baked it for me. So, that was a few weeks ago and I have yet to use my oven. So, somebody please tell me what a good way to clean the bottom of your oven.
