Chicken Dip

My coworkers and I have become addicted to this fattening dip! It is quick, easy and delicious....

Chicken Dip

1 block cream cheese (softened)
1 large can of chicken
ranch dressing
wing sauce (I have used Texas Pete and Moore's)
shredded cheddar cheese

Mix cream cheese and canned chicken well. Pour in 2 tablespoons ranch dressing. I dont measure the wing sauce, it is based upon your taste as to how much you put in. Mix well. Pour into baking dish, top with shredded cheese and cook on 350 for about 10-15 mins. Remove and serve with chips.

Catalina Chicken for the Crockpot

Of course the cooking plans for this week went down the drain. A) I wasnt prepared and B) It's pointless to cook a meal for a large family when only 3 of us are home. I DID manage to make crockpot chili on Tuesday and it must have been good because the kids each ate 2 or 3 bowls. Monday night we had chicken salad and Thursday night, we had baked spaghetti. Brooke had a basketball game Friday at 6, so we wound up at Waffle House. I am making up for it tonight though, by cooking Catalina Crockpot Chicken. I mixed it up and went back to look to make sure that I was getting everything, I just KNEW I was forgetting something!

Catalina Crockpot Chicken

4-6 large chicken breasts
1 bottle of catalina salad dressing
1 package of dry onion soup mix

Pour catalina dressing and onion soup mix in crockpot. Stir. Add chicken. Cook for 3 hours (high) or 6 hours (low).

I've been really bad about cooking since going back to work. I DO cook, but it it is usually something quick and easy. I did find a new and very inspirational blog called www.weekbyweekmeals.blogspot.com. She plans her recipes by the week! I also took the time today to make a new background and header for the recipe blog. What do you think?

Creamy Ranch Pork Chops

Another new way to cook pork chops!

1 tablespoon vegatable oil

4-6 boneless porkchops

1 can Cream of Mushroom Soup

3/4 Cup of Milk

1 package ranch dressing mix

Paprika

Rice (optional)

Heat oil in skillet over medium heat. Add pork chops and cook until brown on both sides.

Mix soup, milk, and 1/2 ranch packet. Pour over pork chops. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover and let simmer for 10 minutes or until pork is cooked tender. Sprinkle with paprika.

Prepare rice according to package directions. Add remaining dressing mix, stir well.

This made a yummy "sauce" to go over rice!

Baked Pork Chops

I always feel like I cook pork chops the same way. Baked. Now there is nothing wrong with baked pork chops. And getting the grill out is a pain in the butt. We have tons of pork chops because of the hogs and I am very thankful but I get tired of eating them the same ol' way. So tonight I googled baked pork chops and was shocked to find a recipe that I actually had the ingredients to in the pantry:

Easy Baked Pork Chops

4-6 pork chops
1 pack onion soup mix
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1 soup can water

mix soups and water, pour over chops
bake 30-45 minutes depending on the thickness of the chops

Nope, I'm not forgetting something and yep, it was THAT easy. It is supposed to make a great gravy and I am making rice to go with it so I will let you know.
