1. I have kind of been stuck in a funk lately if you can't tell with just chicken recipes. The reason is I do not have too many ground beef recipes. So comment and leave me a recipe for ground beef and your name will be entered to win.
2. Its summer time around here, and I sure hate to heat up the house by cooking something in the oven. I am looking for simple crock-pot recipes. Any kind of meat or recipe will work. Leave a comment for a recipe that goes in the crock-pot and your name will be entered to win.
I will give all the recipes a try and you will be featured on this blog.
3. If you really want to win the clothes do both 1 and 2 above and then either post about this cooking blog on Facebook or on your family blog. Either leave me a link to your family blog, so I can see that you did this or just be honest here and tell me that you facebooked or blogged about me. I am an honest person so hopefully you will be too. If you do 1,2, and 3 then your name will be entered three times.
I am excited to give away these cute clothes and in return get me some new recipes to use. You have until Friday, July 1st at 8:00 pm Pacific time to enter.
Good luck now get to leaving me recipes!!!
(I will write the size that it says on the clothes. But some of them are bigger then they say.)
Size 6 Misses
Size 8 Misses
Size S (6-8 misses)
Size S (6-8 Misses)
Size XS (Misses 4)
This one fits me and I am no where near a size 4.

Size S (misses 6-8)
If you like the clothes but not for sure of the size and that it will fit you. Still leave a recipe and if it ends up fitting great, if not give them to a friend. It's free what do you have to lose!!

Pour a small ammount of salsa in the bottom of the crockpot. Place the chicken on top, and pour the rest of the salsa on top. Replace the lid. Cook on medium for 6-8 hours, or high for 4-5.
About 1/2 an hour before you are ready to eat, use two forks to shred chicken. Add the blackbeans (drained) and the corn. Allow all ingredients to warm.

All right, I have posted 1 crock pot recipe, and I wrote about your blog on my blog, and now I am ready to give you a ground beef recipe to make it three entries in your giveaway (These clothes are adorable! Pick me!)
ReplyDeleteThis recipe is my very favorite that I have tried for sloppy joes. I like the texture, and the taste is right on (in my opinion, but I know that everyone likes their SJ's a little different) This recipe is one from my SIL Liz.
Sloppy Joes
1 lb (or more) ground beef
1 can Campbell's Chicken Gumbo Soup
1 can Tomato Soup
1 TBLS white vinager
1 TBLS brown Sugar
1 Squirt Ketchup
Brown hamburger and drain grease. Add the rest of the ingredients and let simmer 10-15 minutes. Adjust ingerdients to taste. Serve on your favorite buns.
*It can be hard to find the chicken cumbo soup, but Wal Mart does carry it in most places.
I found this blog. looks like there are some pretty good recipes on here. I will try and remember my crock pot cook book on the 24 so you can look at it and get some recipes out of it.

ReplyDeleteCabbage Rolls (John and I like these but the kids call them "bloody hearts" and would rather go to bed hungry :)
Ingredients
12 leaves cabbage
1 cup cooked white rice
1 egg, beaten
1/4 cup milk
1/4 cup minced onion
1 pound extra-lean ground beef
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
1 1/4 teaspoons ground black pepper
1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
Directions
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Boil cabbage leaves 2 minutes; drain.
In large bowl, combine 1 cup cooked rice, egg, milk, onion, ground beef, salt, and pepper. Place about 1/4 cup of meat mixture in center of each cabbage leaf, and roll up, tucking in ends. Place rolls in slow cooker.
In a small bowl, mix together tomato sauce, brown sugar, lemon juice, and Worcestershire sauce. Pour over cabbage rolls.
Cover, and cook on Low 8 to 9 hours.
Loaded Twice-Baked Potatoes (with ground beef)
ReplyDeleteIngredients
4 medium russet potatoes
8 ounces 90%-lean ground beef
1 cup broccoli florets, finely chopped
1 cup water
1 cup shredded reduced-fat Cheddar cheese, divided
1/2 cup reduced-fat sour cream
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
3 scallions, sliced
Preparation
1.Pierce potatoes all over with a fork. Place in the microwave and cook on Medium, turning once or twice, until the potatoes are soft, about 20 minutes. (Or use the “potato setting” on your microwave and cook according to the manufacturer’s directions.)
2.Meanwhile, brown meat in a large skillet over medium-high heat, stirring often, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl. Increase heat to high, add broccoli and water to the pan, cover, and cook until tender, 4 to 5 minutes. Drain the broccoli; add to the meat.
3.Carefully cut off the top third of the cooked potatoes; reserve the tops for another use. Scoop out the insides into a medium bowl. Place the potato shells in a small baking dish. Add 1/2 cup Cheddar, sour cream, salt and pepper to the potato insides and mash with a fork or potato masher. Add scallions and the potato mixture to the broccoli and meat; stir to combine.
4.Evenly divide the potato mixture among the potato shells and top with the remaining 1/2 cup cheese. Microwave on High until the filling is hot and the cheese is melted, 2 to 4 minutes.

I love this one!! It is soooo easy! It comes from Mel's Kitchen Cafe:
ReplyDelete6 fresh or frozen chicken breasts
1 (20-ounce) can crushed pineapple, drained
1 (15-ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
1 (15-ounce) can white beans, like Great Northern, rinsed and drained
2 cups mild or medium salsa
Tortillas or tortilla chips and garnishes, like sour cream, cheese, tomatoes, lettuce, etc.
Place the chicken in the crock pot and add the rest of the ingredients. Cook on low for 6 to 8 hours. Using tongs, remove the chicken to a cutting board and shred into bite-size pieces. Mix the chicken back in with the rest of the ingredients. The mixture will be fairly soupy – I like to drain off some of the excess liquid before serving, especially if we are eating it in tortillas, so it doesn’t make everything soggy. Serve with tortilla chips and garnishes, like tomatoes, cheese, avocado, sour cream, etc.
