My meal planning has really sucked lately, need to get better organized. I did manage to put a roast in the crockpot this morning with potatoes and turnip, so probably a salad along with that.
Ann I know you have posted this before but how do you make cheater enchiladas?

LOL :lol:
Instead of rolling them, you just stack them. Here's my very nonimagnitive recipe
Mix together one large can of chili no beans with a can of rotel tomatoes, simmer for about 10 minutes.
Layer like you would a lasagna
sauce
tortillas (I used whole wheat)
grated cheese
tortillas
sauce
tortillas
cheese
cover and bake at 350 for about an hour.
I usually put it together earlier in the day.
Hey I can use this with just Refried bean instead of the chili....dh would surely like that...;) its imaginative to me...thanks for the recipe Ann....:drool:
Renee...you could try vegetarian chili too. If you were going to use refrieds, I would mix maybe two cans of rotel in with them..you need it fairly liquid....like a sauce, maybe had a can of tomato sauce. You could also use black beans.

I have that recipe, but mine calls for
1 lbs of browned ground beef w/ onions
1 can of enchilida sauce
1 can of cream of mushroom soup
1 can of ranch style beans.
Layer just like AnnW. Very good and easy!!
I have chicken thighs out for dinner and will likely bake them with lemon and garlic.
hmmmm...cream of mushroom soup and ranch style beans in enchilladas..interesting combination!

I actually don't like mushrooms so I substitute cream of celery soup. Yeap!! It tastes good to me!!! The orginal recipe did call for cream of mushrooms.
I just have to have things my way!!!

It's cold outside today so I made a nice hot casserole for tonight. The kids are coming and going at all different times tonight and this way they can heat/eat whenever they get the time. Dh and I have hair appointments tonight too... and this is something quick and easy and definitely not too much as far as pick up...
Diane... :wave:

I have been lazy in the cooking department lately....:(
Here it is 12:43pm and I havent even decided on anything yet, I better get thinking I guess...DS#2 has hockey till 4:45 so it will have to be something quick to make when we get home. If I was on the ball I should have stuck something in the crock pot...Oh well... Something will come in mind soon I'm sure...

I have been a slacker lately and just done simple boring stuff. :\ Tonight we are having hot chicken "salad" on croissants with cantelope, carrots, celery and dip. For dessert it's fruit pizza. :)
Wow, I haven't been here in a long time. We're having white chili and biscuits. It's cold and rainy here so it's sounding really good.

I have a roast in the crock pot. I'm going to make BBQ beef sandwiches and a salad. I'm taking the same thing over to my friend's house. I'm also making her a dessert to go with it. I had planned on making homemade chicken potpie for my friend- but I found out this morning that's what she had last night!
It's been crazy around here- yes, we've been eating, but I haven't had a lot of time to post.
White chili has a chicken stock base with cream, chicken, carrots, jalepenos, beans, and some seasonings. It's not a very low-fat low-calorie meal so we only make it now and again. I was making dinner for my neighbor who had surgery last week and she really likes it so I made a big pot, enough for her and me.
Sheryl:)
sounds wonderful! I bet you could use milk and it would be good..would you post the recipe please.
