Recipes

Here are two recipes that I have recently discussed with friends/family on Facebook. I wanted to share them with you all! And for some reason, every time I tried to put them on FB, it crashed my Mozilla... strangeness.

Hopefully this will work!

Chilaquilles con Pollo
(Barb Tyson)
Serves 8
4 cups shredded cooked chicken
1 cup+ sour cream MIXED WITH 1/2 cup+ whipping cream
12 corn tortillas cut into strips
4 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1/3 cup Parmesan
Salsa
1 lg ripe pitted avocado

Add ingredients to a casserole dish, in layers: chicken-salsa-tortillas-cheddar cheese-cream(s). Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes. Then sprinkle the Parmesan cheese on top and cook for 5-10 more minutes. Serve with avocado.
(I usually do less cheeses and it still tastes good!)

Banana Bread
(Me plus "The Joy of Cooking" cookbook)
Makes 1 Loaf
Sift together:
1 cup white flour
3/4 cup whole-wheat flour
2 1/4 tsps baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
Blend until creamy:
1/3 cup applesauce
1/3 cup unrefined cane sugar
1/3 cup honey
Dash of Lemon
Beat in:
1 egg
3-4 ripe bananas (mushed)

Add the sifted ingredients in about 3 parts to the sweet mixture. Beat the batter after each addition until smooth. Fold in 1/4 cup finely chopped dried apricots, 1/4 cup-ish wheat germ, and nuts if you want to. I also sprinkled some flax-seeds in there for fun! Place the batter in a greased bread pan. Bake the bread at 350 degrees for about 1 hour or until done. Cool before slicing.
