Memaw's Vegetable Soup By: Lindsey

Although it is summer this recipe is yummy! AND what is even better is that you can freeze whatever you don't eat and thaw it out for a later date(which we did and it was still really good!). My husband absolutely loved this soup. And it is easy and cheap if you buy off brand veggies. BTW, this is my grandmother, Memaw's recipe. And I just found out about it. Crazy huh? 1-2 lb. ground beef, fry and drain(I only did 1 lb.) 1 Can of corn 1 Can of english peas 1 Can of green beans 1 Can of butter beans 1 Can of carrots 1 Can of potatoes, cut into quarters or slice 1 Onion, cut up 2 Can's of diced tomatoes(roasted garlic) 1 Can of tomato paste, small Salt and Pepper to taste After your beef is fried and drained add all the rest in large pot. DO NOT drain any of the rest. Mix and heat well. I served it with Jiffy corn bread. And scooped out the veggies onto a plate for my 15 month old. He loved it too!

Aunt Cherrie Dale's Chicken Enchiladas By: Lindsey

Just made this the other night for the first time and they were yummy!!! Everyone loved them and I am actually taking them to a friend on Friday for a meal. I served them with rice, chips and salsa. This dish makes a lot! So, it is just two of you eating it or two adults and 1 child I would recommend freezing half of the recipe and cooking it later. 4 Chicken breast 4 oz. Cream cheese 2 TBSP. green chilis(or whole can) 2 TBSP. chopped onions 1 TBSP. butter-melted 2 C. shredded Monterey Jack with Peppers cheese(I used pepper jack cheese and shredded it myself) 2 C. cheddar cheese 1 C. salsa 1 C. whipping cream 8-10 lg. flour tortillas Cook onions in butter until carmelized. Add green chilis and cream cheese. Mix in chicken. Put 3 TBSP. of chicken mixture in each tortillas center. Then add cheeses. Then add salsa. Fold seam side down. Place in baking dish. Pour whipping cream on top. Sprinkle with remaining cheese on top. Back on 350 for 30 min.
