Cilantro Lime Chicken

First off, I'm sorry there's no picture to go with this recipe, we ate it too fast ;)

You need:
Reynolds Oven Bags
1 whole chicken
Salt
1 bunch cilantro, chopped
4-6 limes, wedged

Preheat your oven to 350. Remove all the guts from the inside of the chicken. Very carefully separate the skin from the meat. Pour about a tablespoon of salt into your hand and rub the salt into the cavity of the bird. Squeeze lime juice from the lime wedges on to the cilantro and stuff the cilantro under the skin of the chicken. Use the leftover wedges and cilantro to fill the cavity of the bird. Put the bird with any leftover cilantro and limes in the Reynolds oven bag, (psssst, right now there are coupons inside the Reynolds boxes). Bake for about 1/2 hour per pound, check the chicken when there's about half an hour left.

We serve this with spanish rice, black beans, salad and steamed corn tortillas. It is unbelievably easy and so super yummy! Enjoy!

Chicken Caesar Wraps

The very first time I had these was in a hospital cafeteria. I know for a fact that on Tuesdays they serve this, so I have been trying to keep all my appts on Tuesdays! Hahaha. But seriously. Good.

INGREDIENTS:
Wrap Shells or Tortillas (I like the green ones, super thin)
Caesar salad (I used bag salad and dressing, really complex I know)
Chicken Strips (or grilled but come on, the deli makes it for you)
Cheese!

Pretty complex really. You toss together your salad. I used Ken's litehouse dressing. They make a lite caesar that is delish! Chop up your chicken strips and toss into sald, make sure to stir. Lay out shell. Pour salad and chicken mix onto wrap shell, sprinkle with cheese and wrap it up. I cut mine in half, it's easier to devour that way.....Also, this would be good with bacon too.

St Patty's Oreos

These are simple and I don't know anyone that doesn't like an oreo, for real!

Wax paper or alluminum foil works too

Lay out a long piece of wax paper. In a bowl (cereal) pour out the sprinkles you plan on using and have ready by wax paper near. Take a mug and pour in a handful of melty disks. Put in microwave for 25 seconds, take out and stir. Put back in for another 25 seconds. Take out and stir, just do this until your chocolate is melted, but MAKE SURE YOU DON'T COOK TOO LONG. It was scald the chocolate...boo. When melt take Oreo and dip into the chocolate, I do about half way. Then roll edge into sprinkles. Lay on wax paper to harden and cool. And repeat. Make sure you lick the mugs clean..I did. And enjoy!

Indian Tacos!

This is one of my FAVS! Yummy. And it makes excellent leftovers.

INGREDIENTS:
1 can of biscuits
1 lb ground beef or ground turkey
1 can chili
Whatever you like to garnish your tacos...I used:
Salsa, sour cream, avacados, lettuce, and cheese.

Brown hamburger or turkey in a pan at medium high heat, along with the onion. Salt and pepper well. When brown add can of chili and stir well. Set aside on low heat. Roll biscuits flat, as if you were frying scones, and fry in grease (I suck at this, so this is husband's job). After out of grease I set on paper towels so catch excess grease. Now pile accordingly. Biscuit, meat/chili mix, cheese, avacado's, sour cream, and salsa. What do you get? Yum! Enjoy!

Brinner Egg Bake

This is a tweaked version of a recipe I had tried. Here is how it goes:

INGREDIENTS:
1/2 breakfast sausage (I used hot)
3 gold potatoes (I used the smallest ones) cubed
3 tablespoons of butter or you could use olive oil
2 scallions
1 roma tomatoe
6 eggs
2 "glug glugs" of milk
3 shakes of hot sauce
Handful of Cheese
Salt and Pepper to taste

Preheat oven to 325. Peel and cube potatoes small. Heat a pan to medium high with butter and fry potatoes til soft, and in a seperate pan brown sausage. When both are finish put in a pan together. Mix together all the rest of the ingredients...all of them. When mixed well pour over sausage and potatoes. Bake for 15 minutes and serve!

I smothered mine in salsa and fat free sour cream. I would either do this in a little lasagna pan or our teflon pan had a metal handle....wouldn't want you to ruin the plastic handles!
