Bowl Full of Yumminess

I honestly can't come up with a name for this dish. So a Bowl Full of Yumminess it shall be. My husband is stationed in Turkey right now and that's the only way I can get away with cooking like this. He's not a fan of mushrooms.

I don't have exact measurements for this dish. I literally just made it up as I went along. I can tell you that I used:

2 skinless, boneless chicken breast.
1 yellow onion.
Sliced Mushrooms - as many as you would like
1 bag of frozen corn - thawed
Cabbage - as much as you would like, cut into smaller pieces
Spinach Leaves - as much as you would like, cut into smaller pieces
Soy Sauce
Mesquite Seasoning - optional
Grape Tomatoes - optional

Cut chicken into bite size pieces and cook in skillet until done.
In a separate skillet, saute your mushrooms and onion in some soy sauce. Amount of soy sauce used is however much you would like. I used maybe 2 tablespoons. Once that is done, add your cabbage, spinach and corn. If you want, add a bit more soy sauce. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring so there is no sticking.
Then add your chicken and sprinkle some mesquite seasoning and mix well. The mesquite seasoning is optional, I like to use it to add a little spice. And you may notice from my other recipes, that's one of my favorite spices! :)

After that, you're done. It's such a simple dish that's easy to add or take away ingredients, you can experiment and make it your own. :)

I added the grape tomatoes on the side, taste great with the Bowl Full of Yumminess!

Hope you enjoy! :)

Corn Side Dish

I originally had this recipe posted on one of my other blogs, but thought I would go ahead and share it here too!

This is a yummy yummy Corn Side Dish I came up with. It's so easy and takes maybe 10 minutes to make!

We were having chicken for dinner one night and I was tired of just having some plain corn on the side. So I came up with this Corn Side Dish. I had a frozen bag of corn and a can of Mild Diced Tomatoes with Green Chilies.

 

I also had a half of purple onion. I call it purple, some call it red. Looks purple, so we're going with purple onion. :) And I had one of our favorite McCormick seasonings, Mesquite. Spicy....which my husband loves.

So I chopped my half onion into small pieces, any size will work though. Placed in a bowl, poured in some olive oil. I didn't measure the amount, just enough to give it a bit of a coating and then I added a half of package of the Mesquite seasoning. Mixed it until all the onion was coated. Once that was done I placed it in a skillet placed on medium heat. Saute for about 3 minutes.

While the onions are cooking, I cooked my frozen (steamable) bag of corn for 4 minutes in the microwave. Once that was done I added the corn to the seasoned onion, mixed it well to get all the corn coated. Then I added the Diced Tomatoes with Green Chilies, I drained the juice before adding.

Again, mix it well to get all those flavors mixed together. Stir around in skillet for just a few minutes. Watch it so it doesn't stick. That's never fun!

And that's it, you are ready to eat! We eat this with chicken or talapia. I also like to eat it over a bed of spinach. Delish! Hope you enjoy! :)

Grilled Cheeseburger Wraps

Grilled Cheeseburger Wraps have become a favorite for my husband and I. Our friends get tickled at how often we have them. I found the original recipe at Mostly Homemade Mom, although we make them entirely different. Like I mentioned in my Ground Turkey Enchiladas blog post, I love experimenting with recipes and making them my own.

Ingredients Needed:

1 Small Yellow Onion
1 lb of Ground Turkey
8 Slices of Turkey Bacon
1 Package of McCormicks Mesquite Seasoning
Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
Yellow Mustard
1 Package (of 10) of La Banderita Soft Taco Flour Tortillas (We end up using 9 shells)

Let's Cook:

First, you are going to cook your 8 slices of bacon. Once cooked, set aside. Chop your onion. Since I use Turkey Bacon, it's not really greasy in the pan but has some of that yummy flavoring. So once my onion is chopped I cook it on what's left of the bacon remains.

Cook onion for a few minutes until it's nice and caramelized. Then add the Ground Turkey. While you are cooking the ground turkey with the onion, start chopping your 8 slices of bacon into small pieces. Once your turkey meat is completely cooked, add your bacon and mesquite seasoning. Stir very well so that all your seasoning is mixed, sometimes I might add a little bit of olive oil to help with mixing the seasoning.

Once you have the meat mixture complete, it's time to start building your cheeseburger wraps. Microwave your shell for 10 seconds. Add about 2 tablespoons of meat mixture to shell, top with some shredded mozzarella and then mustard.

Once you have made all your cheeseburger wraps, place them on the grill. Grill (flipping once) just long enough to melt the cheese and add a little char. Maybe about 5 mins total.

Once you're done with that, it's time to eat! :) I hope you and your family enjoy these as much as we do!

Ground Turkey Enchiladas

Ground Turkey Enchiladas? Wait, no chicken? That's right, no chicken! Not that we don't like chicken because we certainly do, we just like to change things up a bit. Well, I like to experiment with recipes. I'll find a recipe, like Skinny Sour Cream Enchiladas at Skinny Mom, make it and absolutely love it. And then, I like to make it again and customize it more to our taste, especially my husbands, because he loves spicy. That's the beauty of cooking, you can change up and make it your own.

Ingredients Needed for this DELISH dish:

8 oz Daisy Brand Light Sour Cream
1 Can of Fat Free Cream of Chicken Soup
1/4 Cup of Fat Free Milk
1 lb of Ground Turkey
1 Package of McCormick Grill Mate Mesquite Seasoning
1 Small Chopped Yellow Onion (optional)
1 Jumbo Garlic (optional)
1 Teaspoon of Olive Oil (approximately)
2 Cans of Mild Diced Tomatoes w/ Green Chilies
1 Package (of 10) of La Banderita Soft Taco Flour Tortillas
1 Cup of Shredded Mozzarella Cheese

Let The Cooking Begin:

If using the optional onion and garlic....chop your (1 small) yellow onion and then peel your garlic. Once my garlic is peeled I use a Food Chopper to mince the garlic into small pieces. Now, if you are new to using garlic this is a very helpful How To Peel Garlic Tutorial  and exactly how I peel mine! Okay, so once that's done place in a skillet on Medium Heat with some olive oil. Cook for a few minutes.

Once you are done cooking the onion and garlic, add your ground turkey meat. Stir around frequently to prevent the garlic from sticking. While this part is cooking, we will make our sour cream sauce. In a medium sized pot we are going to mix our can of cream of chicken soup, 1/4 cup of milk and 8 oz of sour cream. Stir until creamy, and you have to watch it because it will start bubbling and can make a big mess if you aren't careful! Once you have that mixed, add your package of McCormick Mesquite Seasoning and mix well.

Once we have the meat, garlic and onions done, we add the 2 cans of mild diced tomatoes & green chilies and mix well. After the meat mixture and our sauce is done cooking, it's time to prepare our shells. Warm the tortillas, I microwave for 10 seconds in the microwave. Then spoon 2 tablespoons of your meat mixture into the shell. Fold shell with both ends folded in, like picture shows. Spray your casserole dish to prevent sticking. Place tortillas seam side down in your dish.

After all of your tortillas are filled (you may have some meat mixture left over, you can try more than 2 tablespoons in the shell, just need to be able to fold them without the shells ripping) and placed in your casserole dish (I use a glass 14 x 9.5), cover with your sauce mixture. Once completely covered, sprinkle your 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese over the top.

Bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes. Make sure your cheese is nice and melted.

DONE and ready to eat!! Yum, Yum, Yum!! Hope you enjoy as much as we did! :)
