Barbeque Chicken with Southwestern Cornbread Stuffing

September 27, 2011 by Tiffany

I know that bbq chicken is front and center, but really this post is all about the Cornbread Stuffing. It tastes like much more than the sum of it’s parts.

It starts with a box mix. Add corn, a little onion, some diced jalepeno pepper. Oh my goodness! My family loved it. It’s not spicy at all. I took all the seeds out of the pepper, so it wouldn’t sizzle our tongues. The stuffing has just a little kick of flavor from the onion and jalepeno, which is a contrast to the sweet corn taste. And it all goes great with barbeque chicken.

Chicken Enchilada Soup in the Slow Cooker

September 13, 2011 by Tiffany

This is a recipe that will be made often in my house. My kids have been asking for it again already.

I first saw the recipe when Mary from Giving Up on Perfect linked it for Ingredient Spotlight. I’ve since spotted it on Pinterest several times. This soup is fantastic! And it’s easy too.

I made just a few minor changes to the way Mary fixed it. I doubled the recipe, which made a lot. It completely filled my 6 quart slow cooker. Here’s what you’ll need: [Read more...]

Grilled Chicken and Cream Cheese Enchiladas – 5 Ingredients

May 27, 2011 by Tiffany

These couldn’t be simpler, especially if you’ve already got the chicken grilled, sliced and frozen. But even if you need to do some grilling first, they are easy. (If you do need to grill, cook more than you need and stock your freezer with the extra.)

The ingredients can be changed and swapped too. Use cooked chicken instead of grilled, or use ground beef or leftover roast beef. Swap out the Black Bean and Corn Salsa for another variety. Skip the cream cheese and use Monterey Jack instead. Anything goes, and it’s all good.

Ingredient Spotlight: Corn/Cornmeal

April 6, 2011 by Tiffany

We don’t eat a lot of corn as a side dish (unless you count fresh corn on the cob in the summertime). But I like to use it as an ingredient.

And I use a lot of cornmeal. Cornbread and cornbread muffins are staples around here. I prefer yellow cornmeal, but I’ve had trouble finding it lately and have had to buy white.

Here are a few of my recipes that use corn or cornmeal: [Read more...]

Black Bean and Corn Salsa/Salad

May 19, 2010 by Tiffany

I thought I was making a salad, but my family decided it was a salsa. It did taste good scooped up on chips.

There must be a kachillion ways to make this dish. I put mine together based on what I had available in the pantry.

Chicken Quesadillas

May 14, 2010 by Tiffany

Every once in a while I think I might be losing my mind. Okay. I think that more than just every once in a while.

Regardless, this recipe has made me question my cognitive bearings. The other night I decided to whip up some quesadillas for dinner. Not wanting to reinvent the recipe, I did a search on my blog to find out how I made it before. I know I made them once before. I’m sure I posted it here. I remember some of the comments.

However, I couldn’t find the recipe on here anywhere. I dug through my wordpress files. I searched various titles, categories and tags. Nothing. Squat nada.

So, I started from scratch making up a new recipe. It still bugs me that I don’t know what happened to the other one. Maybe I never posted it. Maybe I really am losing my mind. Oh well. Let’s have a quesadilla and it will all be okay.

Complete Barbecue Chicken Dinner in the Slow Cooker

December 11, 2009 by Tiffany

barbeque chicken dinner in slow cooker done

A whole Barbecue Chicken Dinner cooked in the slow cooker! The trick is in foil packets and layering the food, something I learned from Stephanie at A Year of Slow Cooking. She used the trick to make steak, baked potatoes and corn on the cob in the slow cooker. I’ve used her trick to cook ham with Hashbrown Casserole.

I love pulling everything out of the crockpot, done and ready to go. Clean up is a breeze too, because there’s just the crock to wash. [Read more...]

Microwave Corn on the Cob

June 10, 2009 by Tiffany

corn-on-the-cob-ingr

I don’t know if you’ve noticed this about me or not, but I tend to be a simple person. On top of that, I’m lazy. I always think I’m going to try grilling corn on the cob like I’ve seen other food bloggers do, but then I’m in a hurry and I don’t feel like messing with it. I fall back on my old habit of microwaving it instead. It works just as well as boiling it and it’s easier.
