Cream Cheese Chicken

Cream cheese and chicken together, in my opinion, is FABULOUS enough to have every week. I do use the low fat (NOT fat-free) cream cheese, and the seasoning I use is amazing. Garam Marsala contains cinnamon, pepper, bay leaves..... it's SO YUMMY. I'm not sure what possessed me to include it with cream cheese and chicken, but Bryson deals with it and sometimes even enjoys it. I add it last, right before I serve it, because somehow it goes away if you let it cook too long. Please note that it is an Indian spice, and probably is not traditionally used with cream cheese or chicken. You may feel free to substitute Italian, Mexican, Greek.... whatever kind of seasoning you enjoy. But I recommend everyone try the Garam Marsala at least once, in something!

Ingredients:
2 cups homemade cream of mushroom soup
frozen chicken--enough to feed four adults
1 onion
1 T sugar
1/4 t black pepper
1 t kosher salt
2 cloves minced garlic

--block of (low-fat) cream cheese (to add later)
Garam Marsala to taste, just before serving.

Put everything except for the Garam Marsala and cream cheese into the crockpot. Cook on low for 6 hours, or until the chicken is cooked through and begins to shred. Shred the chicken with forks, and mix in the block of cream cheese. Switch the crock to high and cook for another 30 minutes, or until the cream cheese is fully melted. Add Garam Marsala to each serving just before serving.

Serve over whole wheat pasta, egg noodles or brown rice.... might also be tasty in a whole wheat pita or tortilla (we think just about anything is good in a tortilla though) :) We're having it with broccoli we picked up at the Farmer's Market in Fayetteville!

Monterey House Candy (Leche Quemada - Burnt Milk Fudge)

I've searched for this recipe for literally years. They used to give to away at Monterey House in Dickinson, TX. I've made countless pans of what usually turns into semi-burnt caramel. I did find this exact candy at Las Palmas here in Springdale, but they seldom have it. They don't have a recipe. They claim they GO TO MEXICO and buy it from someone there, and bring it back?! Seriously useless. But here it is- someone from Dickinson gave out this recipe and I'm going to try it. You may all get some for Christmas this year if it works out. And if you don't absolutely LOVE it, please just send it back and I will eat it- somehow. NEVER LET IT GO TO WASTE!!! 5 pounds sugar 4 12-oz cans evaporated milk 1 12-oz can evaporated goat’s milk (or substitute evaporated milk) 2 cups light corn syrup 1 tablespoon salt 1 tablespoon Mexican vanilla extract 4 tablespoons butter I N S T R U C T I O N S Put sugar, evaporated milk, evaporated goat’s milk, corn syrup and sa

Angelia Style "Chicken Fundido"

We're not sure what to call it, but it's FABULOUS and may replace my weekly (okay, it might be 2-3 times a week) "Taco Salad" meal.  Only Bryson and I eat the actual taco salad, and we're also the only ones eating this. :) Ingredients: However much chicken breast you have on hand Leftover pinto beans, refried beans, or canned black or red beans Sliced onion Mexican/Taco Seasoning Olive oil So we cut our chicken breast into strips, and sprinkled with the Homemade Mexican/Taco Seasoning we made.  Then I grilled onions in some olive oil until cooked through, and removed them.  Then I grilled the chicken in the olive oil until they were cooked through, and added the onions and the beans until all was heated through.  Then top with cheddar cheese,  cover with a lid and turn it off. THEN YOU EAT IT. I just eat it straight, but you could use tortillas (I wasn't up to making them tonight) or tortilla chips. Fab-O!
