Jalapeno Jelly

Image
Now the chicken flautas would not be so amazing with out Chevy's Jalapeno Jelly! This stuff is AMAZING! Now even if you dont like spicy food like me this jelly is not spicy at all! in fact it is probably one of favorite things in the entire world! It is incredibly versatile I use it on the flautas of course, on cream cheese with chips, or even on nachos! seriously this stuff is amazing! Now that I have discovered this and made a few batches I will definitely be getting my pectin in bulk on Amazon! Here is the link! Certo Premium Liquid Fruit Pectin by Sure-Jell, 6 Ounce Box (Pack of 4) And here is the recipe! Chevy's Jalapeno Jelly Copycat Recipe 3/4 cup chopped red bell peppers 3/4 cup chopped green bell peppers 1/3 cup diced and seeded jalapeno's peppers (you don’t have to but I use gloves when dealing with hot peppers to avoid accidently getting anything in my eyes or mouth) 2 3/4 cups sugar 1/2 cup red wine vinegar 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lime jui...

The BEST Chicken Flautas

Image
If you haven't ever been to Chevy's Fresh Mex Restaurant then you are truly missing out. They have some seriously delicious Mexican food! my personal favorite is their chicken Flautas! I have found and a dapted a recipe for these that I have now made at least five times! I am addicted! The first time that I made them I made a single batch and it was not enough so I have now decided that each time I make them I will be making a double if not triple batch! They are way easier to make then you would think, the are usually fried in the restaurant BUT I hate deep frying anything in my house because of the small and the clean up. Because of that I bake them and they are much better this way! (in my personal opinion of course!) You could also adapt this yourself if you wanted to by using other types of meat or maybe even making the vegetarian if you choose! The recipe calls for salsa and if you wanted to get really creative you could make your own and use that instead of jarred sals...

How do I stay organized???

Image
So as a stay at home mom with a two-year-old and a new baby on the way how do I keep myself organized? Truthfully as hard as I try I am still perfecting my organization skills... I have my amazing planner with my monthly and weekly planner, as well as a to do list, meal planner, and a chore check list. I fill it out every Sunday and try to stick with my plans to the best of my ability, but life can get in the way. As long as I can get dinner on the table, keep my daughter from breaking anything or getting hurt I count my day a success! Well let me tell me about my wonderful planner! I swear by this thing; it really does help me keep my week organized. I love knowing that I don't have to worry about what my meals are going to be two hours before dinner time because I have it planned the week ahead. This helps me with my Monday morning grocery shopping and my Monday afternoon meal preps! My chore list, and to-do list is really when I have time to get to it during the week i...

Well, this is my 1st official post! Tonight we made Texmex; a very easy kid friendly meal. It is a super easy dinner idea and fun for kids to get involved with as well! Here is the Recipe: Ingredients: 1 pound of ground beef 1 10oz can of Rotel Original diced tomatoes and green chilies (drained) 1 15oz can of Hormel Chili with beans 1 10oz bag of yellow rice (I use Vigo brand!) 2-3 cups of shredded cheese (I prefer a Mexican blend if I have it) Tortilla Chips (scoops are what we use) Directions: Brown and strain ground beef. Cook the rice per directions on the bag. Combine cooked rice, drained ground beef, drained Rotel, and chili with beans. Pour half of the mixture into a 13x9 pan or your favorite casserole dish, add a layer of shredded cheese, then add the rest of the mixture and top with the rest of the cheese. Bake in a 350-degree oven for 15-20 minutes or until cheese melts and starts to bubble. Serve with your choice of tortilla chips...
