Buffalo Chicken Taquitos (Revised)

Corn Chowder with Chilies This is to die for. It’s just a regular corn chowder made with fresh corn shaved off the cob, which is yummy enough as it is. But throw a little bacon in with the onions as its base and add in a couple of different kinds of chilies? Make this soup soon. Your happiness depends on it. Start with some bacon pieces. You want to wind up with very small pieces of bacon—1/2 inch or smaller. Grab some corn. Use a very sharp knife to slice off the kernels. You could easily use frozen corn if that’s all you can get your hands on. Chop up some onion. Now throw the bacon into a pot or dutch oven. Throw in the onions… Stir and cook the bacon and onions for a couple of minutes When the onions start to get soft, throw in a pat or two of butter just for a little flavor. Next, throw in the corn! Crack open a can of chipotle peppers. They’re packaged in adobo sauce and smell really smoky. Mince up a couple of peppers—more if you like things really spicy. Two added puh-LENTY of spice for me. Add in a little salt…

Quick Whole Wheat and Molasses Bread The quintessential American quick bread is corn bread, and this points us in the direction of wholesome, fast, savory breads that can anchor a hearty vegetarian dinner or serve as a side dish at a more conventional meal. This one, made predominantly with whole wheat flour, does it all — and with almost no work. Gabe Johnson/The New York Times Summary Making a good quick bread requires not only technique but a little judgment, the same one you use in making pancakes: there is an ideal thickness for the batter. Ingredients Oil or butter for greasing pan 1 2/3 cups buttermilk or plain yogurt, or 11/2 cups milk and 2 tablespoons white vinegar (see Step 2) 2 1/2 cups (about 12 ounces) whole wheat flour 1/2 cup cornmeal 1 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon baking soda 1/2 cup molasses Method 1. Variations Lighter Whole Wheat Quick Bread: Use 11/2 cups whole wheat and 11/2 cups all-purpose flour; omit cornmeal. Source: The New York Times

Bacon and Corn Griddle Cakes We’re a banana-pancake kind of family. Rarely does a regular-old pancake grace a plate in the RecipeGirl house. Bananas are pretty much always sliced up and cooked right on in there with the batter. It’s the way we do our pancakes around here, plain and simple. These pancakes were stuffed with corn, crumbled bacon, onions, chives and Monterey Jack cheese. The truth was… I wasn’t exactly how these would go over either. As a true bacon lover does, I saved some extra crispy bacon to serve on top. And then I covered it all with a massive downpour of warm maple syrup. And then… we sampled. So what do you think… are you up for sampling some Griddle Cakes? Yield: Eight 4-inch griddle cakes Prep Time: 25 min Cook Time: 25 min Bacon and Corn Griddle Cakes These unique pancakes are stuffed with bacon, corn and cheese. Ingredients: Directions: 1. 2. 3. 4.

Chicken & Asparagus Penne - GOODEness Gracious Dear Reader, I must confess… I totally heart pasta… macaroni, spaghetti, penne, angel hair, fettuccine… you name it, I love it. That is why I adore Smart Taste pasta that takes my typical carb splurge and gives me the fiber of whole wheat pasta with the taste of white pasta. So, when I saw this recipe for Chicken and Bowties in the Oodles of Noodles section of Gooseberry Patch’s Meals in Minutes, I knew I had to give it a try. Psst… have you entered to win a copy yet? I tweaked the steps in this recipe… to make it even more time-saving. I popped a couple of the steamable bags of Asparagus spears from Birds Eye’s Steamfresh line in the microwave. Meanwhile, I boiled up a box (12 oz) of Smart Taste Penne (Smart Taste doesn’t come in Bowties at my store). I also got to cookin’ up 1lb of chicken breast in a non-stick skillet seasoned with a little Lawry’s. Take the asparagus and place in the bottom of a 9 x 13 pan. Add your pasta Drizzle with 1/4 cup of olive oil Another keeper! Ingredients Notes

Chicken Enchilada Stuffed Zucchini Boats A fun twist on a Mexican favorite! Summer zucchini hollowed out and stuffed with shredded chicken, enchilada sauce, cheese and scallions. Serve this with cilantro lime rice and you'll have yourself a fiesta! A few weeks ago I posted Sausage Stuffed Zucchini Boats and they were such a hit I've been thinking up new stuffing ideas, when it hit me... naked enchiladas! If you've been following my blog for a while, you probably know how much I LOVE enchiladas. In the past I have posted recipes for Skinny Chicken Enchiladas, Cheesy Zucchini Enchiladas, Turkey Black Bean Enchiladas, and Creamy Chicken White Bean Enchiladas with Salsa Verde. This idea is the perfect way to use up leftover chicken, plus it's perfect for low-carb and gluten-free diets - and yes, yellow squash would also work well. A few notes: I usually have shredded chicken breast on hand, I like to throw a package of chicken breasts in the crock pot to use for recipes throughout the week, you can click here for the method.

Healthy Turkey Tacos Tacos were pretty much an every-week staple at my elementary school growing up. And I remember this being a crazy popular lunch day but I don’t remember eating them at school. In hindsight, my brother and I were lucky kids; our mom was a work-at-home mom (almost unheard of in the 80s) and she had the ability to be there every morning to make our lunches. Once a week, she gave us money to buy lunch at school and I picked carefully: either deli day (Thursdays) or pizza day (Fridays, naturally). In our house now, you’ll see tacos show up on our menu at least twice a month and while Kyle and I love to make them traditionally with my homemade taco seasoning, we’re not against trying other varieties either. Ingredients For the tacos: For serving: 8 corn tortilla shellsShredded Monterey Jack or cheddar cheeseShredded lettuceDiced tomatoesDiced avocadoChopped red onionSour creamLime wedges Instructions In a 12-inch skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
