Chicken Chipulos

1 can condensed cream of chicken soup
1 can condensed cream of mushroom soup
2 cups shredded, cooked chicken meat
1 can diced green chiles
1 onion, finely diced
1 (8 ounce) container sour cream
2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
8 (10 inch) flour tortillas

Combine the soups, chicken, green chiles, onion and sour cream in a medium size bowl. Set aside.
Rip tortillas into bite size pieces and layer 1/3 onto the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish. Layer chicken mixture on top, then a layer of cheddar cheese. Repeat two additional times, making sure to end with cheese on the top layer. Bake at 350 degrees for an hour.

I found this recipe on allrecipes.com. It is an easy and yummy twist on chicken enchiladas. We loved them!

Chicken Crunch

2 chicken breasts, cooked
1 can condensed cream of chicken soup
1 (8 ounce) container sour cream
1/2 cup butter
40 buttery round crackers

Chop chicken into small pieces and place in a 9x13 inch baking dish. Mix soup and sour cream and pour over chicken. Dot with butter. Crumble crackers finely and put on top of chicken mixture. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.

This is easy and super yummy. I found this recipe on allrecipes.com and I chose it because I happened to have all of the ingredients in the house. I was surprised at how delicious it turned out. This is something I will definitely make again for my family. Hope you give it a try!

Boston Cream Pie


Dinette Cake:
1 1/2 cup flour
1 cup sugar
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
3/4 cup milk
1/3 cup shortening
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla

Heat oven to 350. Grease and flour round cake pan. Measure all ingredients into large bowl. Blend half minute on low and three minutes on high. Pour into pan. Bake 35-40 minutes. Cool. Split cake into two layers using dental floss. Fill with cream and spread with frosting

Cream Filling:
1/3 cup sugar
2 Tablespoons cornstarch
1/8 tsp salt
1 1/2 cup milk
2 egg yolks, slightly beaten
2 tsp vanilla

Blend sugar, cornstarch, and salt in sauce pan. Combine milk and eggs. Stir into mixture. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until boiling. Boil and stir for 1 minute. Add vanilla and cool to room temp.

Frosting:
There are a couple of different ways you can do the frosting. I melted Bakers semi sweet chocolate chunks and put that on the top. You can also mix milk with chocolate cake frosting and spread that over the top.


I know that all of the Cornelius girls have this recipe, but I wanted to post it here because this is a recipe that everyone needs to have! It's amazingly scrumptious! Whenever my mom comes to help out after I have a baby, I always request this. The visit isn't complete if I haven't had at least three Boston Cream Pies. It's really easy to make and so very yummy. Enjoy!

Sour Cream Noodle Bake

This is an easy, versatile comfort food. It is simply a layered dish made up of three parts.

1. Spaghetti Sauce- use a can/jar/homemade. It can be meatless, or add mushrooms or other veggies, or 1/2 lb to 1 lb cooked hamburger. Cooked sausage would also work well. You can use any sauce that your family likes.
2. Noodle mixture- in a bowl mix together:
1 Cup sour cream
1 Cup cottage cheese
Chopped green onions
Cooked pasta- any kind- I like egg noodles the best, macaroni second best
3. Shredded cheese- any kind- I use colby-jack

Starting with the sauce, layer each part in a deep casserole dish, ending with the cheese on top. I don't use a 9x13 pan because I like it thick. I usually add 3 layers of sauce, 2 layers of noodle mixture and cheese.
Cook for 20-30 minutes at 350 degrees.
