Meal a Day

[edie19]

I've noticed that we've been talking food a lot lately - but no organized place for recipes (they are scattered throughout the various threads).

Personally, I love food (the food network is just about my favorite tv to watch), love cooking, love sharing meals. The kitchen is truly the heart of the home. I figure I can't be the only one who feels this way.

So, I thought a dedicated thread for recipe sharing would be a good idea.

Please participate - I'm always looking for new ideas.

Chicken, black bean and corn enchiladas

Boneless chicken breast (this is where I stretch, use 2-4 depending on the number of people).
1 can black beans (I use the southwest flavored with cumin)
1 can chopped tomatoes (Mexican style)
1 cup (or so) frozen corn
1 med sweet yellow onion - sliced
1-2 cloves garlic - minced
grated cheese
flour tortillas
salsa of preference

Meat seasoning
2-3 Tablespoons SW seasoning (I love Emeril's Southwest Essence)
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1-2 grinds fresh ground black pepper
1 teaspoon oregano

Slice the chicken breasts into strips and toss with the seasoning. Saute in a little olive oil until 3/4 cooked. Set aside in bowl. Add onions and garlic to same pan - cook until softened, add corn, beans and tomatoes along with adding the chicken back to the pan. Heat through.

Spoon 1-2 spoonfuls into tortilla shells, add ~1 spoon cheese then roll up and place in baking pan. I pour a little salsa over the top of the enchiladas before cooking - cover with foil and bake @ 350 for ~20 minutes. Remove foil, sprinkle with some extra cheese and bake an additional 5 minutes until cheese melted.

Serve with salsa, sour cream and chopped green onions.

I've also done this leaving the breasts whole, cook the same - but add the breasts back to the vegetables and let finish cooking covered on the stove top. Then I serve over rice. MMMM MMMM

Taco Salad

1lb hamburger
1 pkg taco seasoning
1 can black beans
1 small can sliced jalapeno peppers
1 small can sliced black olives
1 btl Catalina salad dressing
1 small head lettuce chopped
cherry tomatoes
Taco seasoned shredded cheese
1 bag Frito's corn chips

Cook hamburger until thoughly done. Drain well. (I put it in a colander and run hot water over it to get rid of the most grease). Drain and rinse black beans, add to skillet with hamburger and mix in taco seasoning. let cook for a few more seconds. Remove meat mixture and let cool in fridge for at least 2 hours. When cool add the rest of the ingredients. Mix well and enjoy.
Note: if you plan to take this to a pot luck or picnic where it will set a while before serving, wait to add the corn chips till you get ready to eat it or they will get soggy.

Wow, you all can cook?

1 large can crushed pineapple, well drained
1 can condensed milk
1 can cherry pie filling
1 cup chopped nuts (optional)
1 9 oz. Cool Whip

Mix first four ingredients and then fold in Cool Whip.
Freeze overnight.
Move to refrigerator before serving.
It makes a lasagne casserole dish worth of dessert.

Had not made this for a long time but recently made it for New Year's celebration with my parents. Since I am not a fan of nuts in most things I made a substitution. I had left over coconut from other holiday cooking. So I used up what I had left which was at least a cup’s worth I believe. I only had cans of chunk pineapple on hand so took a knife and cut them up smaller to be more like crushed pineapple.

will add recipes shortly and am always looking for recipes to add to my kitchen

BTW - would you like me to merge my "around the hearth" thread with this one so we only have one recipe thread? Maybe sticky it too? (all right, I'm not a mod here, but I have the capability to do this because of being on ET staff - or can ask one of our mods to do this)
