What's Cookin'?

I'm so thankful for the people who post recipes online, and for the people who review them. Below you'll find links to some of the recipes I've found and made (or am planning to make) more than once.

Easy Pizza Crust I added lots of spices, rolled it really thin, mixed all the toppings together in a bowl, and made calzones!

Moist Chicken Chicken is not my forte, but this worked great.

Pea Soup So this recipe I make with whatever ingredients I already have, which means I omit the leeks, mint, creme fraiche (whatever that is), and the garlic croutons. The chives are a hit or miss, usually miss. Also, my butter's salted, my stock's not homemade, and my pepper's not kosher.

Banana Muffins Yummy!!! I made these one morning and between me and my husband the 12 muffins disappeared before nightfall. A few tweaks: substitute 1/2 cup of the white flour for wheat flour, substitute most of the oil for apple sauce (I estimated the oil and apple sauce amounts), and add ghirardelli milk chocolate chips (those are decidedly the best chocolate chips).

I shall now contribute to the plethora of online recipes. Here's one that I threw together the other day and it turned out pretty good.

GREEN CHILE, BLACK BEAN ENCHILADA

Mix all these ingredients together in a bowl:
Can of Herdez green chile enchilada sauce 
Half a small tub of cottage cheese
1 can black beans
3/4 cup or so of corn 

Spread a layer of the mixture on the bottom of a 9x13 pan
Add a layer of shredded cheese, then a layer of 6 corn tortillas. Repeat the process a couple more times. Mixture, Cheese, Tortillas. Mixture, Cheese, Tortillas. Finish it off with Mixture and cheese. I had a little extra green chile sauce (I bought a big can and used half of it), and so I poured a little on top of the last cheese.
Stick it in the oven 350 for about a half hour.


What are you thankful for?
