SOUR CREAM CHICKEN ENCHILADAS Sour Cream Chicken Enchiladas are rich, creamy and easy to make! Tender juicy chicken, onion and loads of cheese are wrapped in flour tortillas and smothered in a simple homemade sour cream sauce, topped with cheese and baked until brown and bubbly! The best part about this recipe, is that it’s really easy to make (and I’m all about easy in the kitchen). I start with flour tortillas (you can most certainly replace them with corn tortillas if you prefer) and then create a simple from scratch sour cream sauce. Don’t let the words “from scratch” scare you away from this recipe, the sauce is not only easy to make, it’s really quick, creamy and delicious! We sometimes add in a couple of ounces of cream cheese if I have it on hand and stir until hot and melted before adding the sour cream. This recipe works well with either regular sour cream or light and of course we love that it’s made without cream of chicken soup. You’ll want to be sure to turn the heat down...

OREO CHEESECAKE COOKIES I’ve been on some kind of weird shoe kick lately. I mean, they say a girl can’t have too many pairs of shoes, but I shouldn’t really fall into that category because the only pairs of shoes you can see on me on a regular basis are my black $5 Old Navy flip flops. Yeah, I’m not so much of a “dressy” professional. I work for the government, we dress mediocre. Some people come into the office in Batman pajama pants. NO JOKE. If you want to see hilarity when it comes to “casual Friday’s,” you should come visit me at work. Never ceases to amaze me what goes through people’s minds when Friday rolls around and they decide to show up in pajamas or JORTS. I wish I could make this up. Oh, and I still have not found “the shoes” for my wedding. Hilarious. Bought 3 pairs of shoes that deem useless for my big day. Oh well :) I have cute shoes to wear to work now, right? Ok, so these cookies. It’s no secret that I love Oreo’s in virtually any dessert. I’m happily addicted to co...

Moist Lemon Cake Recipe This moist lemon cake recipe is so delicious! I found this lemon ice pick cake recipe in my little recipe box from our wedding that I’ve had fun sorting through. Although I didn’t have an ice pick, I did have a chopstick to make this lemon jello cake recipe. It’s so easy! Are you thinking spring? I don’t know why, but lemons remind me of clean and clean reminds me of spring cleaning and spring cleaning reminds me of needing dessert. Because, well you need dessert after spring cleaning. Am I right? But let’s just focus on the cake for now. The original recipe called for an ice pick. Since I didn’t have one of those around, I decided to use a chopstick. It’s probably a little thicker than I would want – but it was free. You could also use a fork. You’ll want to poke the chopstick into the cake quite a few times. You’re creating holes for the glaze. Pour the glaze very slowly over the cake, making sure to allow the glaze to soak into the holes. Yum! Moist lemon cak...

BLT Pasta Salad Before I start telling you all how delicious this BLT Pasta Salad is, I want to say Thank You for your super sweet comments and get-well wishes about me not feeling good. I ended up in the ER Monday morning because of how much pain I was in. My husband was at work and the kids were in school, so it was kind of lonely being in there by myself. But I’m a tough cookie and braved through. 😉 They ran a bunch of blood work and I had a Nuclear Medicine HIDA scan to see if it was my gallbladder. Everything ended up coming back normal, thankfully, so they seem to think it’s an ulcer. I started some medicine that day so I’m hoping it kicks in soon.  Okay, let’s get on with the food. This BLT Pasta Salad is woooonderful. Oh it’s so good. It’s like a BLT sandwich, without the bread, broken down into one heck of a pasta salad. The original recipe calls for mayo. You all know I despise mayo, so I replaced it with ranch dressing. It gave it amazing flavor. You could also add some...

Use the Recipes-by-Diet-Type Index to find more recipes like this one. I’ve been working my way through the recipe archives, updating my earliest recipes with better photos and sometimes better instructions too.

I got this recipe from a blog that no longer exists, and when I made it again recently to take these photos, I still loved the way this chicken turned out. If you’re a South Beach Dieter or carb-conscious eater maybe the hardest thing about the recipe will be finding 100% whole wheat bread c...

We had a short bit of snow last week (can you believe it???) and tomorrow it’s supposed to be 80 degrees. That’s Illinois for you! But I’m going to try and forget about that freak of snow experience and focus on summer, my favorite season, which is right around the corner! And what better way to usher in warmer days than with a refreshing summer drink? Today I’m sharing a yummy recipe for Strawberry Julius! You’ve probably heard of Orange Julius, which is a favorite beverage of my mother’s. I thought … why not Strawberry Julius? So I experimented with the recipe and created this yummy concoction! I love strawberries and June is when they typically come in season here in the Midwest. We had some Orange Julius the other night, and that’s when I thought about swapping out the orange juice concentrate with strawberry. I’ve never seen Strawberry Julius before but I’m...
