Sloppy Joes

Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen were my favorite actresses growing up and I owned every single one of their movies! One of my favorites was when the girls went to camp and met each other there and realized they were twins! While at camp, they were served manwiches!
Well, I never knew what a manwich was but my mama always made us sloppy joes growing up! Now, I am not a huge fan of ground beef, I don't like hamburger helper or most hamburger casseroles, but I do love sloppy joes!
Sloppy joes are easy and cheap and it makes a lot of meals in one dish! Tonight, I used deer hamburger meat, 3/4 cup of ketchup, 2 tablespoons of mustard, 2 tablespoons of vinegar, and 2 tablespoons of wostershire sauce. Mix that all together after browning one pound of meat. You can also add in chopped onions and green pepper! Also chopped tomatoes!
Cook this and put it on a hamburger bun and serve! A childhood favorite is one of our family favorites now! :)

Cooking Up A Storm

I love being married to my best friend and being able to cook supper most nights of the week makes for great conversation, especially since I love nutrition and cooking! So this past week I made something called "Cheesy Chicken Enchiladas." Can you say D-E-L-I-C-I-O-U-S?

I took three boneless skinless chicken breasts and sliced them up into bite size pieces and placed them in a large skillet with a can of tomatoes that were labeled as "Tex Mex Style." Great choice! After this, I took whole wheat tortillas and laid them on a plate and dipped the chicken and tomato mixture onto the tortillas and rolled them up and placed five of them into a large glass casserole dish. I then combined a 8-ounce sour cream and a can of cream of chicken soup in a bowl and poured the mixture over the enchiladas. Finally, I topped the dish with two cups of cheddar and mozzarella shredded cheese. I baked this at 350F for 30 minutes and then bon appetite! It was like my husband and my taste buds rejoiced in the flavorful, juicy chicken, slightly spicy tomatoes, and cheesy, creamy, simple meal! Even eating this as leftovers (which I am not a fan of most dished reheated) was a family favorite!

On another note: my sweet Zoe weighs 12.5 pounds now! She is growing too fast!


Until next time...
