Pigs in a blanket with cheese(optional)

Perfect after school snack. We even have it for supper sometimes with a side of mac and cheese or a veggie.

Ingredients:
Package of hotdogs 8ct
Can of biscuits
8 slices of cheese (optional)

Preheat oven to 350°f
I make these while oven is preheating. The oven beeps right as I'm finishing the last pig in a blanket lol it's that easy and fast!
I cut the hotdogs into 3rds and fold the cheese into 3rds. Sit them aside. Flatten out a biscuit with my hands and then cut it into 3rds. Then place a piece of cheese and hotdog. Then roll it up and put in in the pan. Do this till all ingredients are gone.
Bake until biscuits are cooked
Makes 2 dozen(24) pigs in a blanket.
You can cut everything in half or into 1/4s to make more bigger ir smaller. I just do 3rds bc it's the perfect size for the kiddos!

Enjoy!

Semi homemade chicken pot pie!

2 deep dish pie shells
2 rolled up pie crusts( I use them to go on top)
2 chicken breast cooked and shredded
Your choice of veggies
I used 1 can of french style green beans
1 can of whole kernel corn
1 can of diced potatoes
2-3 cups of chicken stock
1 egg(for egg wash)
Preheat oven to 400°f

Drain veggies and pour in a big bowl with the shredded chicken and chicken stock. In a medium/large pot heat up two heaping spoonfuls of butter. Dice 1/2 of a small onion. Cook onions in butter till transparent. Add 1/2 cup of flour and stir to make your rue. Add bowl of other ingredients to the pot. Stir well and let cook till it gets thick like a gravy. Divide it out between the two pie shells. Cover with the flat pie crusts. I take a fork and go around the edge to close the seams. Then cut the extra off. Beat the egg in a small bowl. Spread over top of pie crusts. This gives it the beautiful golden color. Bake at 400° for 25-30 mins. Then I turn the broiler on hi for a few seconds to brown the top a little better.

Making arroz con leche(rice and milk drink) yummy treat that is ate/drank in mexico/central 1 cup of rice washed and drained. Add it to a medium sized pot. Put water in 1/4 of the way. Fill the rest of the pot upwith milk. Add a cinnamon stick. And cook on. medium heat till rice is cooked. Stirring occasionally. You may need to add more water or milk as the rice cooks.

Its fall y'all!!! Time for some good homemade soups! I'm making chili beans today! This recipe is tasty and quick to throw together!

2lbs of ground beef
Cooked and drained
Add in the tomato juice, tomato sauce, 5 cans of beans of your choice, 1 whole container of chili powder. Salt to taste.

I always add extra water to it after I stir everything together. I just fill up the tomato sauce and juice cans with water and dump it in the pot.

Let it cook on medium heat for about 30 minutes it'll thicken up a little when some of the water cooking down. If you like it real thick just omit the water and cook until it's good and hot. Stirring occasionally!

Honduran spaghetti and rice with potatoes

For the spaghetti I use this spaghetti, but you can use regular. Cook the spaghetti until done. Drain the water. Add 3-4 heaping tablespoons of butter and one packet each of the sauce in the picture. I buy them from the Mexican store. I know foodlione use to sale them but I haven't seen them there in a while. Mix while on the stove till the butter melts. Enjoy!

For the rice.
1 cup of rice. I wash and drain it. Add about 3-4 tablespoons of oil to a deep pan let pan get hot. (Medium heat)Then add rice. Stir until the rice doesn't stick together shouldn't take more than 5 mins. Peel and cube up a potato add it in the water then pour into the rice. Add enough water to cover the rice. Add salt and stir only once to stir in the salt. Turn down to medium low heat and let cook. Add water if needed. Don't stir the rice while its cooking because it will make the rice sticky. You can cover the rice while its cooking , but I always cover it when it finishes and let the steam keep it hot.

Mild yet tasty salsa!

In a pot place 2-4 Roma tomatoes. 4-6 guajillo chilies, 6-8 chili arbol.(these can be spicy that's why I dont use many) but if you like alot of spicy then use a few more . If the chilies have stems on them I leave them in and then cut them off using scissors after they are cooked. Let tomatoes and chilies boil until the tomatoes are starting to peel and the chilies are soft. Cut steams off chilies, and place them and tomatoes in a blender. Add about half a bunch of cilantro, half a small onion and 2 tablespoons of chicken bouillon( this is what gives it such a great flavor) it's my secret ingredient Haha. Take the water from where you boiled the chilies and tomatoes and pour some into the blender. About 3/4 to the top of everything in the blender. Blend it and enjoy!
We put this salsa on everything! My oldest daughter even loves it. And she doesn't eat alot of spicy things.

Mexican stew beef with potatoes!

In a blender add a small can chipotle sauce(or a few reg chipotles) I find the sauce isn't a spicy. 1 tablespoon of powdered clove, garlic powder,onion powder, thyme,oregano,cumin and cinnamon(all powdered is my preference. All 1 tablespoon) and salt to taste. Blend well.
Package of stew beef. Wash and drain then roll the meat in flour. In a medium pot add about 4 tablespoons of oil and brown the meat. Add the sauce and about 3-4 cups of water. Cook on low for a few hours. You may need to add water because it will get thick. Stir occasionally. When meat is almost done peel and cut up some potatoes and add into the stew.

Rice. 1 cup of rice. I wash and drain it. Add about 3-4 tablespoons of oil to a deep pan let pan get hot. (Medium heat)Then add rice. Stir until the rice doesn't stick together shouldn't take more than 5 mins. Add enough water to cover the rice. Add salt and stir only once to stir in the salt. Turn down to medium low heat and let cook. Add water if needed. Don't stir the rice while its cooking because it will make the rice sticky. You can cover the rice while its cooking , but I always cover it when it finishes and let the steam keep it hot.
