P is for Pork Roast (in gravy)



1 frozen pork roast (I get Costco's)
Salt
Pepper
1 tsp. Garlic Powder
1 can of French Fried Onions
2 cups water
2 chicken boullion cubes

Cook in crock pot on high for 6 - 8 hours.  I love this recipe because when its finished cooking this is what it looks like; shredded pork in its own gravy.  I serve it with skin in mashed red potatoes.  YUM!

E is for Enchiladas

Sorry - I forgot to take a picture of these, so next time I make them I'll take one.

Sour Cream & Chicken Enchiladas

5 cups shredded chicken
1 1/2 cups shredded cheese
2 cans cream of chicken soup
1 container sour cream
2 small cans of diced green chilies
5 green onions, diced
12 - 15 corn tortillas

To make this recipe really fast and easy, I try to have on hand Costco's package of rotisserie chicken.  4lbs of chicken for $9.99 - but its good, its fast and I think its worth it.  Also, I layer my enchiladas instead of rolling each one - its faster with the same end result.

Sooo - that being said.  In a bowl mix up with a wooden spoon the soup, sour cream, green chilies, green onion, and 1/2 cup of cheese.  Spray with non-stick spray a 9 x 13 glass pan.  Layer as follows

bottom up:  sauce (just enough to barely cover bottom)
                   1 layer of tortillas
                   sauce
                   chicken
                   1 layer of tortillas
                   sauce
                   chicken
                   1 layer of tortillas
                   sauce
                   shredded cheese

Bake in the oven at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.  Remove, and let sit 10 minutes.  Enjoy.

F is for Fritata


Easy, easy, easy dinner - did I mention easy? Oh, and Healthy!

12 eggs
1/4 cup milk
1/2 pkg of ham or turkey lunch meat
1/2 cup shredded cheese
1 -2 cups of veggies on hand (broccoli, zucchini, bell peppers, mushrooms, etc.)
4 green onions
1/4 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. pepper
more shredded cheese for sprinkling on top

Throw it all into this baby and blend for about 10 seconds - or until veggies are blended, but not mush. Spray with non-stick spray a 10 inch glass pie plate, pour it all in, sprinkle with a bit of cheese and bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes (or until golden brown and a knife comes out clean). You could also chop the veggies if you like them chunky and not blended. Top with salsa, avacodo, sour cream, diced tomatoes, olives - whatever your family likes.
