Zatarain's Rice and Beans

Okay, before you say "what?" just hear me out. If you have been around our gang very much you know Lindsey, Kimberly, and I cook this at least once a month if not more. It isn't that original, but I had to share it. Red beans and rice will always remind me of sweet times with my family. Ingredients: 1 Family box Zatarain's Rice and Beans 1 Package of Smoked Sausage or Smoked Turkey Sausage Extra Rice 1 box of Jiffy Cornbread mix Franks Red Hot Sauce (optional) Directions: Cook Zatarain's according to package. Cook cornbread according to package. While rice and beans are cooking slice sausage and brown in a skillet until cooked on both sides. Also, cook your extra rice. When Zatarain's is finished add sausage. (If you want more rice just add it, if not it is still really good)

Corn Dip...Oh my!

Hey! I CANNOT believe I FORGOT to post this. I have had this recipe for a month now. I guess I have been hiding it for myself. Ha ha! Just kidding. My good friend came into town and made this for me. It is so good it is ridiculous. And I am sucker for dips! My wedding had TONS of dips at it just because that is totally me. :) 1 8oz. pkg. cream cheese 1 16oz. bag of FROZEN corn 1 stick of butter 1 jar of jalapenos Chips of preference BUT fritos are wonderful with this. 1. Melt butter and cream cheese in microwave 2. Add corn, jalapenos, and jalapeno juice(1/2 the jar of juice). Microwave until hot. You will have to continue to stir and reheat if not hot enough. Add more juice if you want it spicier. 3. Eat with Fritos. You can also bakes this in the oven for 35 min. on 350. Whichever way is faster for you.

BIG news! LABELS

Guess what? I found out how to add a label section to the side of the blog!! Yay! So far I have quite a few labels over there. I am sure it will get more detailed than that. Hopefully if any of you are looking for something in particular you can just click on our labels and find what you need. BTW, if it is a main dish and also Italian(or whatever) I have it labeled for both. So, it should come up either way. Alright...peace to all!! :)

Creamy Chicken and Rice By: Lindsey

Hey All!!! All...I mean Y'all!! Ha ha! I made a really good chicken and rice recipe tonight and it was EASY!! It is from the famous "Voice of Truth" cookbook(my mother in law's church...wow...they can cook!). Here it goes! 1 can cream of chicken soup 1 1/3 cup water 3/4 cup uncooked rice 1/4 tsp. black pepper 1/2 tsp. onion powder 1 1/2 lb. boneless chicken breast 1 cup shredded cheese Mix soup, water, rice(uncooked), onion powder, and black pepper in baking dish. Top with chicken(uncooked), sprinkle more pepper on top. Cover and bake @ 375 for 1 hour. Uncover and sprinkle chicken with cheese. Bake until cheese is melted. So here is what I did! Ha ha! I did not have onion powder so I combined minced onion and garlic salt into my recipe. And I did three chicken breasts(don't think that is 1 lb. and a half). I guess it depends on how soupy you want it. I served it with green beans and cresent rolls. You might have to add some salt...but it was tasty!

Sweet Mama Rose's Oatmeal Apple Raisin Muffins By: Lindsey

My husband's grandmother, Mama Rose, is so sweet!! Derek says I don't make any of her stuff....and I will tell you why. It is all made from SCRATCH!! Lasagna, brunswick stew, muffins, cakes, etc. Whew!! It is good food, don't get me wrong. But, my goodness...who has time for recipes all from scratch?? So, I am going to try my hardest to start making some of them. This morning I made her Oatmeal Apple Raisin Muffins. Derek loves them and has mentioned to me before about making them. Keep in mind that Mama Rose is diabetic. Which means, that lots of things she makes is healthier for us. Ha! These muffins are a tasty, healthy treat for you and your kiddos. I love muffins! So, it is fun eating them when I know they have ONLY 1/3 cup sugar and apples and raisins in them. Parker, my son, also loved them. I didn't add any butter to the top of his and he ate them like crazy. 1 egg 3/4 cup milk 1 cup raisins 1 apple, peeled and chopped 1/2 cup oil(I used vegetable oil)
