Now onto the sinfully wonderful chocochip cookies


Choco Chippers

Gradually blend dry mixture into creamed mixture. Stir in chocolate chips. Drop by tablespoon onto ungreased cookie sheets. Bake at 375 for 9-11 minutes or until golden brown. I rotate the cookie sheet half way thru by setting the timer for 5 minutes. Rotate, then continue to bake.

Your basic French Toast

This is just a standard/basic recipe. I like the basics and it allows you to add or change anything you want! This one is standard and its just how my mom makes it so it brings back memories and that's the way I like it!

My kids eat this until they are sick.. On this day I didn't have any good bread like texas toast but it is still just as yummmy!



French Toast

8 slices bread of your choice, the thicker, the more it will soak up so you might need to add more eggs
4 large eggs
1/2 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Powdered sugar

DIRECTIONS
In a shallow mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla and cinnamon.
Quickly dip slices (do not soak) in egg mixture and cook until golden brown on both sides. I use a griddle.

Sprinkle with powdered sugar and serve with warm maple syrup.

Chicken ~N~ Dunklins

Thats what my Teegan calls them!



Jacey's Chicken N Dunklins

3-4 chicken breasts, skinless/boneless
1 box or 2 cans chicken stock
water
salt, pepper, dried parsley, oregano

Place chicken breasts in stock and add water enough to cover the chicken breasts, the pot will be about 1/2 to 3/4 full. Add seasonings.

Cook on medium/high heat until chicken is cooked thru. Maybe 20 mins?

While chicken is cooking make your dunklins (teegan calls them that), follow recipe below and set aside.


Remove chicken and cut into bite sized pieces.


Add back to boiling broth and pinch off little bite sized pieces of the dunlkins and drop them in.

Cook until bubbly and the whole pot is thick and not runny and all of the dunklins float to the top.

In my family we like extra dunklins so I make a double batch of them.


Dunklins
1 1/2 c. all purpose flour
2 tsps. baking powder
3/4 tsp. salt
3 tbsps canola oil
3/4 c. milk

Mix in bowl until soft dough forms. Then drop by spoonfulls into boiling broth.

Green Beef Tacorito's

Totally made up name but ya it works :)

It's basically like my green beef enchiladas with taco meat and beans but once you change the name, the kids totally dig it!










Green Beef Tacorito's

1 lb ground sirloin
6 tortillas
grated cheddar cheese
1/4 small onion
1/4 small green pepper
1 can fat free refried beans
Half of a jar of taco bell taco sauce
1 can fat free cream of mushroom soup
1 small can green chillis

Saute your ground beef and season as you'd like. I use chilli powder, garlic powder, seasoned salt, black pepper and cumin. Add in your onion and bell pepper once your beef is almost cooked. Add in taco sauce and a splash or two of water to thin it out. Saute until combined.

Warm up tortillas to soften them up. Spread beans on the bottom of tortilla, sprinkle your meat in and add cheddar cheese. Repeat for all 6. You will have meat left over.

Combine left over meat, soup, green chillis and about 2 tbs water to thin out. Stir and pour over the 6 enchiladas.

Bake at 400 degrees until cheese is melted and dish is bubbly.
