Tonight I made nachos and they are really easy to make.
Tortilla Chips
Precooked chicken strips from the frozen foods section
Taco Seasoning
Salsa
Mexican four-cheese blend
Scallions
Sour Cream
Hot Sauce
On a baking sheet spread a layer of tortilla chips and spray lightly with cooking spray. Saute` chicken and taco seasonings in a small pan until incorporated. Spread chicken, salsa and cheese on chips. Place in a 350 degree oven for about 15 minutes or until chips are lightly browned and cheese is melted. Garnish with extra salsa, sour cream, hot sauce and scallions. Serve with favorite beverage.
Cheese contains a chemical found in addictive drugs, scientists have found. The team behind the study set out to pin-point why certain foods are more addictive than others. Using the Yale Food Addiction Scale, designed to measure a person’s dependence on, scientists found that cheese is particularly potent because it contains casein. The substance, which is present in all dairy products, can trigger the brain’s opioid receptors which are linked to addiction.
This looks like a strange concoction but its a great combination of a deconstructed Sloppy Joe on top of tater tots. We first came upon this dish on a church mission trip to Marion, Virginia where we had to eat up leftovers. We made Sloppy Joes and heated up tater tots. Our trip leader Dave had the idea to combine the two and Sloppy Tots were born.
Most folks will use a canned sauce for the Joe’s but I use a recipe I found online years ago called Ma Fosters Sloppy Joes and I use ready made tater tots that heat in the oven. They are better with a little crispness to them.
As you see we put some cheese on top to give it some extra flavor. Try it, it’s delish!
Every year during the holidays I do meatballs for gatherings of family, friends and work. There is nothing incredibly gourmet about them but they are easy to prepare and they can feed a crowd.
The ingredients are fairly simple.
1/2 cup Soy Sauce
1 Bottle of Bottled Barbecue Sauce
1 Bag Fully Cooked Italian-style meatballs
In a slow cooker put in meatballs (preferably frozen) and cover them with the soy sauce and barbecue sauce. Put the slow cooker on its highest setting for about an hour and a half, then reduce to low.
These meatballs will have a unique flavor with the soy and barbecue sauces along with the seasonings in the balls themselves.
If you have any questions let me know. Try this out for your holiday gatherings.
We went to brunch today at Lakeshore Grille in Hixson, TN today after church. I had the best Chicken and Waffles today. The waffle was light and buttery, the chicken was cooked to perfection and the gravy was a interesting touch. It was sweet and savory rolled up into one. The best rendition of this dish I have ever had.
