From time to time I get asked for recipes, get compliments on my "craftiness," and have people tell me that our house looks like and episode of HGTV. I casually mentioned to Kasey (my FABULOUS hubby) and some of my friends (my only readers...ha) that I should do a blog and share my "Martha Stewart-ness" with everyone. So here it is...my blog. My guide to: cutting coupons (or "coups" as we shall now refer to them as), "so easy Debbie (Ahrens) can do it" recipes, and the random "knick knacks" and projects that I dabble in from time to time. Who knows...maybe one of these days I can have my own HGTV or TLC show. Until then, I will continue to keep my day job and post on my blog. =)
So for my inaugural post, I leave you with the recipe for our dinner that I cooked tonight...
Queso Chicken
8-10 breast tenderloins, chunked
Seasoning for chicken (I use fajita and Adobo seasoning, garlic salt)
1/2 package Velvetta cheese
1 can Rotel (with Cilantro...if you LOVE it as much as I do)
Tortillas (From Amigos...because they are the best and I refused to go to the Barrio before Kasey and I got married to learn how to make tortillas)
In a skillet, brown chicken tenderloins until almost completely cooked. Cut Velvetta into chunks and add to skillet along with can of Rotel. Cook on low until Velvetta is completely melted and chicken is cooked. Serve with tortillas and any of your other favorite mexican food trimmings (guacamole, hot sauce, tortilla chips, etc).
Kasey liked it...and having a husband that is the son of cattlemen, any chicken dish that he will eat is worth noting in my book.
This is a pretty cheap meal as well...it cost us less than $10:
I bought the chicken at United for $2.59.
(They were buy one get one free, so I got 2 packages for $5.19)
Rotel-$1.09 at Wal-Mart
Velvetta brick $4.48(ish) at Wal-Mart BUT I bought it with a $1.00 off coup so $3.38(ish)
Tortillas at Amigos-$2.00 (ish)
Cheap and easy...just like me!
