RIBS!

I baked baby back ribs slathered in garlic salt, Emril's Essence, with a nice dose of Wild Turkey for moisture.
Redneck Potatoes-recipe courtesy of Deanna. OH LORDY they are NASTY GOOD!!!!!!

4 lbs new potatoes, quartered (I use the bags of red potatoes when I can’t find new potatoes)
Water
Salt and pepper to taste
Tony Cachere Creole seasoning to taste//(Heather here-I used Emeril's Essence & Garlic Salt)
1 16-oz bottle Ranch dressing
1 bunch green onions, chopped
16 oz sharp cheddar cheese

Cook potatoes in water, drain. Combine all ingredients in large bowl, mixing well. Bake in a 9 x 13 dish at 350 degrees for 15 minutes or until bubbly.//(Heather again-I did not bake. The heat coming off of the potatoes melted the cheese nicely.)

Broccoli, Rice and Chicken

2 cups of Brown Rice

1 can of chicken broth

1 can cream of broccoli soup

2 cups of light mayo

2 cups shredded cheddar

1/4 cup of dehydrated chopped onions or 1 fresh onion

1 bag of frozen broccoli florets

12 boneless skinless chicken breast tenders



Brown the tenders in skillet until done throughout.

Pull apart or cut into small pieces.

Dump the 2 cups of rice into greased baking dish or cast iron skillet(my personal preference and what I use)

Dump the chicken on top of the rice.

Mix the soups together and then add water until you have 41/2 cups of liquid to pour over the chicken and rice.

Stir in mayo, cheese, onions and frozen broccoli.

Cover and bake at 400 for 45 minutes.

Remove cover and allow top to brown and liquid to cook down.

So funny!

This is so funny. This is from my blogger buddy Joke ovah at Same Thing, But Different.
If you know me or even read my blogs, I love the big club warehouse stores, for the variety of items that you can buy and for being able to stock up my freezer and not have to shop on a weekly basis. This is so much like something I would do.

Meaty Velveeta Dip

Since today was the big game, we had the dip with chips as our dinner.

This recipe has been done to death by everyone, but I will tell you how I make it.



2lbs. of lean ground beef-I use Lara's Lean Organic.

Brown meat, with liberal amounts of chopped garlic and garlic salt.

2 packages of Taco Seasoning Mix.

After meat is browned follow instructions on Taco Seasoning Mix.

Add one can of chopped green chilis

Add one can of diced tomatoes

Add a chopped onion

Add several cups of salsa-I use mild, use what ever you like

Add a 3lb block of Velveeta cheese cubed

At this point you can add jalapeno's or whatever else you think will go nicely.

Dump all of this into a crock pot or a slow cooker.

When cheese is melted it is done. We serve it with those Scoops corn chips.

Totally nasty! Totally gross, but OH so good!!!

Baked Potatoes

Sorry I have been away for so long, I just haven't been inspired lately, plus I have been really sick with first the flu, which has morphed into a horrid sinus deal and brought on the MOTHER of ALL FLAIR UPS of the FIBROMYALGIA, but I am going to try and do better for my family.
CRAPPE that is one long run-on sentence!
