So, it looks like i'm gaining another (male) housemate. D said theres too much estrogen in this house, so it *obviously* wouldn't be a female :P his name is A and he's 26. :) he'll be the oldest, not me...yay!

so i made chicken enchiladas for dinner tonight, A stayed and enjoyed dinner, we went to go take pics of TJ's car cuz someone ran into him, and then wandered home depot w/ C :)

Chicken Enchiladas


16 flour tortillas
3 c chopped chix or turkey
2 c sour cram
2 c shredded cheddar cheese
SAUCE:
1 tb oil
1 med onion, chopped
1-2 tsp chili powder
29 oz tomato sauce
1/2 c water
salt to taste

Combine chicken, sour cream and 1.5 c cheese.
Fill tortillas with 1/4 c mixture and roll
Place in 9x13 pan and bake for 15 minutes at 350*F
Sauce: Saute onion in the oil. add lil garlic if
wanted. add rest of ingred and simmer till thickened.

1) i didn't use cheddar cheese, i used mozz, annd you cannot tell :)
2) i didn't have 2 cups of sour cream, only 1, and it could use more, but its not bad :)
3) i added garlic, about 3/4 tsp or so, i didn't really check :)
4) TJ cannot wait to come home from work and eat some, its one of his favorite meals that i've made so far. :)

It was good, not many people have had some, B (who spends a few days every month) eats only pizza (seriously! i've never seen him eat anything else, and i dated him for a month or so, year and a half ago :P), and wouldn't try some, and D and C weren't home. A had some tho, and enjoyed it.

pss: i have A, B, C, D, and TJ and me...alphabets!

nachos :)

Browned 1 lb beef, add taco seasoning according to package, put on chips, cover with cheese, melt, add tomato, lettuce, whatever you like on your nachos :)


quick and easy dinner :)


tomorrow? spaghetti :)

I'm making food again!!!!

yes...i graduated from my class last night, gave a "report" on alzheimer's and took my final - which i got a 94% on. i'm excited! next step? taking the state test...but i have some paperwork to fill out first :(

but i'm making haitian mac'n'cheese tonight...recipe from my mom, not sure where she got it, other than haiti :P

you need:

16 oz cheese sauce
12 oz carnation milk
2 tsp garlic powder
8 oz cooked ziti or pasta of choice
Onion diced (opt)
green pepper diced (opt)
salt to taste
3 Tbsp tomato sauce

and then you:

Mix all ingredients together. Place in casserole dish and sprinkle with Parm cheese if desired. Bake at 325*F for 20-25 minutes or until bubbling and surface is golden brown.

and voila! you're done!!!

unless your oven is like mine, then you keep it in for a bit longer till it is done. :P

bubble up pizza

MODIFIED!!!! (i had to modify it...the last time i made it the "right" way, it didn't cook thoroughly :()

so i estimated everything i threw in...sorry!

I put some spaghetti sauce (roasted red pepper and garlic, you can put whatever kind you want tho!), cheese (i did mozzerella, you can do whatever you have on hand), and a 1/2 tsp of garlic, and pizza toppings (i did a can of mushrooms, drained (no real ones on hand, darn), pepperoni quartered, bacon bits, and part of an onion, roughly chopped.) in a bowl and mixed it up, adding more sauce so everything was neatly covered.

I then spread it in an 8x8 pan (not everyone in the house feels good, so i didn't make a 9x13 pans worth of food) and covered it with quartered refrigerator biscuits. i then sprinkled some Parmesan cheese on top, stuck it in a 350*F oven for about 30 minutes (or until golden brown) and put more Parmesan cheese on top when done.

Easy dinner, and a winner also!

PS the original recipe has the biscuit pieces throughout the sauce mixture, but they didn't cook that way, and noone ate it...so i mixed up the recipe and they cooked!
