Sweet & Savory Brisket

Ingredients:

large brisket
1 cup ketchup
1/2 cup grape jelly
1 pkg. onion soup mix

Combine ketchup, jelly and soup mix and spread over brisket in slow cooker. Cook on low 8-10 hours. Slice and serve with juices.

CHICKEN-CHEESE ENCHILADAS

1 can Campbell's nacho cheese soup
1/2 c. milk
2 c. cooked chicken
1/2 c. salsa
1 tsp. chili powder
8 flour tortillas

In small bowl, combine soup and milk; set aside. In medium bowl, combine chicken, salsa, chili powder and 2 tablespoons of soup mixture. Along one side of each tortilla, spread about 1/3 cup of chicken mixture. Roll up each tortilla, jelly-roll fashion, place seam side down in greased 3-quart oblong baking dish. Spread remaining soup mixture over enchiladas. Cover with foil. Bake at 375 degrees for 35 minutes or until hot and bubbling.
Top with any of the following: sour cream, black olives, salsa, guacamole, sliced green onions and (0r) shredded Cheddar cheese before serving.

Sticky Chicken

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
• 1/2 cup low sodium soy sauce
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 2 Tbsp. honey
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 Tbsp. grated fresh ginger root
• 1/8 tsp. pepper
• 3-4 lbs. boneless, skinless chicken breasts

Preparation:
Combine all ingredients except the chicken in a shallow baking dish and stir until sugars dissolve. Add the chicken and turn to coat well. Cover the dish and chill in refrigerator for 24 hours.
When ready to eat, transfer the chicken and marinade to a large heavy nonstick skillet. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat to low, cover the skillet and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring each piece occasionally. Check the breasts for doneness (170 degrees F on an instant read thermometer) and remove to a shallow pan as they test done. Cover the cooked chicken and place in warm oven to keep warm.
Increase heat to medium and cook the marinade remaining in skillet until syrupy, stirring occasionally at first, then stirring constantly as the mixture starts to thicken, about 8-10 minutes total. Return chicken to the skillet, coat it with the sauce, and serve immediately - with lots of hot cooked rice! Serves 8

Lenten Friday

My family likes fish, and we should probably eat more of it than we do, but for this Friday we are having breakfast because of a fantastic recipe for Cinnamon Pancakes that I can't resist!! Together with some fluffy scrambled eggs I think we have a winner! (Maybe they will cheer up my UGH- see previous post!)

INGREDIENTS:

• 1-½ cup All-purpose Flour
• 3 Tablespoons White Sugar
• ½ teaspoons Salt
• 4 teaspoons Baking Powder
• 1 Tablespoon Cinnamon
• 2 whole Eggs Beaten
• 1 cup Milk
• 2 Tablespoons Corn Syrup
• ¼ cups Butter, Melted
• 1 Tablespoon Vanilla

ICING INGREDIENTS:
3/4 cup powdered sugar, 2 tbsp melted butter, 2 tbsp milk and mix together

PREPARATION:

In medium bowl, combine flour, sugar, salt, baking powder and cinnamon with a whisk. Whisk well to make sure everything is combined.

In separate large bowl, beat together eggs, milk, corn syurp, butter and vanilla. Stir in flour mixture.

Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium/low heat. Pour about 1/4 cup batter onto griddle. Brown on both sides.

Serve warm with icing drizzled over the top.

UGH!!

I am in the rut of all ruts!! I have lists of things to get done, at every turn there are things that I need to take care of... but I can't seem to get into any of it! HELP!!!

All of the snow days, late starts, and Tim's traveling work schedule for the past 3 weeks have put my days into a tailspin!

Please send a drill sergeant to whip me back into shape!

Trip to Children's

Mollie and I made our trip to Children's today! It's always a trip I hate and love- I hate driving all the way there, but we love to see our nurses and Dr. T. Last summer they became like extended family to us. We were there every week and it became part of our routine! Now when we go it's a chance to catch-up with our friends and they are always shocked by how much Mollie changes from just month to month.

Everything was as usual this visit. Other than her platelet problem she is a picture of health!

Her count was a bit low- but nothing to worry!
