Peanut Butter Kiss Cookies

We found the bags of peanut butter cookies on sale. So we bought a bag, mixed it up and then added Hershey Kisses in the middle. While these are not quite as good as those made from scratch, they were all eaten by the next day.

Anonymous Comments

This last month has seen many many anonymous comments that were spam :( I've always tried to make it super easy for people to comment, but today I changed my settings to no longer allow anonymous comments.

I hope this does not affect any of you who read and comment. If it does, email me and I'll reset it again.

I'm hoping this change will cut down on the spam comments I've been getting and then deleting.

Chicken Enchilada Casserole with White Sauce (crockpot)

I decided to take a favorite recipe and see if I could turn it into a crockpot recipe:

5 chicken breasts - boiled and shredded
2 cans cream of chicken soup
8 ounces sour cream
1-2 cups shredded cheese
1 4 ounce can of diced chiles

Shred the chicken:


Then mix the chicken with the soup, sour cream and chiles:



In the crockpot, start with a layer of tortillas. I used one and half tortillas per layer:



Use 1/3 of the chicken and 1/3 of the cheese:



I had enough for 3 layers. Cook on low for 4 hours.

Yummy!!!

Broccoli Casserole (crockpot)

20 ounces frozen broccoli (I buy the florets, since that's what my daughter likes)

1 can cream or broccoli soup
2 cups shredded cheddar
1 cup cracker crumbs (we use a wheat Ritz)
2 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup chopped onion
1/2 teaspoon Worchestershire sauce
1/4 teaspoon pepper

Mix together the soup, onion, Worchestershire sauce,one cup of the cheese and pepper. Place broccoli in greased crockpot. Pour sauce over the broccoli. Sprinkle the cracker crumbs on top and then dot with butter. Cook for 3 hours on low. Open, sprinkle remaining cheese on top and cook another ten minutes.

Note: Try other soups for additional tastes. We love to use a combination white and yellow cheese instead of cheddar. If you're watching calories and fat, omit the one cup cheese at the end, or use only 1/2 cup cheese in the sauce and another 1/2 cup on top.
