Three EASY meals: by Kimberly

So, I was looking on my friend Claire's blog the other day and made one of her recipes. She's so creative at everything and a really good cook and we've given her some shout outs before for her good recipes!
However, first I made too much chicken taco meat (located on our blog) and ended up having 3 meals made easy!

FIRST:
I made chicken tacos: I used 10 chicken breast, 2 cans of chicken broth and 2 packs of taco seasoning. Cook in the crockpot all day on low. Then shred it while in the crockpot. The leftover chicken, I made into the next two meals after I used it for the tacos:

SECOND meal:
Mexican Skillet Delicioso (recipe on our blog)

THIRD meal:
Tortilla Soup
Shredded Chicken (2-3 cups)
Can of nacho cheese
Can of Cheddar Cheese
Can of Cream of Chicken Soup
Jar of Salsa
Jar of water (used Salsa jar)
Can of enchilada sauce

Served them all with tortilla chips and fixings! So delicious and really only one day of 'real' cooking - only because I usually think the meat is the hardest!!
Hope this helps someone have an easy week of dinners.

Bulldog Brittle

Apparently this recipe has been around for a long time but until this past Christmas I have never eaten it----loved, loved, loved it!! As always my favorite recipe's are those that are delicious and easy, so here's another one. Donna Bulldog Brittle 8 whole graham crackers 1 cup of chopped pecans 1/2 cup (1 stick) margarine 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter 1/2 cup sugar This is so good and so inexpensive to make that you will probably want to double the recipe. Break crackers into fourths. Place on foiled lined cookie sheet pan, leaving space between crackers. Sprinkle chopped pecans over top of crackers. Melt margarine and butter in boiler. Add sugar, bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Boil exactly 2 minutes, pour over pecans and crackers. Bake at 350 for 10-12 minutes. DO NOT BROWN. Let cool and break into pieces.

A Littel Tidbit by Ashley

Ok, so this isn't a recipe, but something tells me you will all want to know.  I have been meaning to tell my Mom, Lindsey, and Kimberly but keep forgetting. If someone told me I could only have two things in my make-up bag, it would probably be eyeliner and mascara.  I found a new mascara that I love.  This is coming from someone who's favorite was $27 dollar a tube Lancome mascara.  It is lashblast from Cover Girl.  O magazine rated it #1 best mascara of this year! I love it!! Just thought I would share!

Pepper Penne by Ashley

Oh My!!  We had this tonight for dinner.  All of the boys ate it, including Gray who is 1 and Sam who usually only eats the bread for dinner.  I loved it and it was so easy!  Enjoy!!!   Ingredients:   1 package of penne pasta (I used whole grain) 1/2 t. rosemary 2 packages of sliced pepperoni , halved ( I used 1 package and it seemed to be plenty) 1/4 c. pepperocini (omit if too spicy for kids, but it wasn't really spicy with it.  I will probably use more than 1/4 next time) 1 jar roasted red bell pepper, drained and chopped 3 1/2 c. boiling water 1/2 c. whipping cream (I used milk) 1/2 c. grated Parmesan cheese   Directions:   In a large pot, layer pasta, rosemary, pepperoni, pepperocini, and roasted red pepper.   Add water and bring to a boil.   Reduce heat, cover, and let simmer until pasta is tender.   Add cream and cheese.  Toss to coat.
