    good any time though!


    Chilaquiles Casserole


    Ingredients
    1 tablespoon canola oil
    1 medium onion
    1 medium zucchini
    1 19-ounce can black beans
    1 14-ounce can diced tomatoes
    1 1/2 cups corn
    1 teaspoon ground cumin
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    12 corn tortillas, quartered
    1 19-ounce can mild red or green enchilada sauce
    1 1/4 cups shredded reduced-fat Cheddar cheese
    Cooking Instructions
    1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Lightly coat a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.


    2. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and cook, stirring often, until starting to brown, about 5 minutes. Stir in zucchini, beans, tomatoes, corn, cumin and salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are heated through, about 3 minutes.


    3. Scatter half the tortilla pieces in the baking dish. Top with about half the vegetable mixture, about half the enchilada sauce and half the cheese. Repeat with one more layer of tortillas, vegetables, sauce and cheese. Cover with foil.


    4. Bake the casserole for 15 minutes. Remove the foil and continue baking until the casserole is bubbling around the edges and the cheese is melted, about 10 minutes more.


    You can throw in anything like leftover chicken, a lil hamburger etc. but it delish w/o extras.

    Spanish Potatoes


    Serves 4
    Prep Time: 1 hour, 15 minutes
    Cook Time: 5 minutes
    Approximate cost per serving (1 filled potato): $.59


    4 large potatoes
    1/2 pound lean ground beef
    1/4 teaspoon chili powder
    1/4 cup diced onion
    3 cloves garlic, pressed
    1/2 teaspoon Tabasco sauce
    6 ounces tomato sauce
    3/4 cup grated cheddar cheese


    Bake the potatoes at 425 degrees (or microwave) until tender in the center. Cut each potato in half lengthwise, then scoop out the center of each potato with a spoon, being careful not to cut into the skin. Place the potato pulp in a large mixing bowl.


    Brown the ground beef in a skillet. Drain the beef. Add the beef to the bowl with the potato pulp. Add the chili powder, onion, garlic, Tabasco sauce, and tomato sauce. Mix well.


    Stuff the potato shells with the potato-meat mixture. It will be heaping out of the skins. Sprinkle 3 tablespoons of cheese over the top of each potato. Place the potatoes on a cookie sheet, and return to the oven for 2-3 minutes to melt cheese.

    Inside out cheeseburgers


    Ingredients
    1/4 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
    1/4 cup shredded Gruyere cheese
    1 pound 90%-lean ground beef
    1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
    1 1/2 teaspoons paprika
    1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper


    Cooking Instructions
    1. Preheat grill to medium-high or preheat the broiler.


    2. Combine Cheddar and Gruyere in a small bowl.


    3. Gently mix beef, Worcestershire, paprika and pepper in a large bowl, preferably with your hands, without overworking. Shape into 8 thin, 4-inch-wide patties. Mound 2 tablespoons of the cheese mixture on each of 4 patties, leaving a 1/2-inch border. Cover each with one of the remaining patties. Crimp and seal the edges closed.


    4. To grill: Lightly oil the grill rack. Grill the stuffed patties over medium-high heat, about 4 minutes per side for medium-well. (Be sure not to press the burgers as they cook or they'll split open and the cheese will ooze out.) To broil: Cover a broiler pan with foil and coat with cooking spray. Broil the stuffed patties in the upper third of the oven, about 4 minutes per side for medium-well. In either case, let the burgers stand for 5 minutes before serving.

    We love Spanish food, I just don't like spicy, so I make everything mild and hubby adds his spicy sauces. It works out great.


    The best part about these recipes is I have most of these ingredients already, so these will be cheap to make, YAY!

    Scallop Piccata on Angel Hair


    Ready in: 35 mins
    Serves: 6
    Ingredients


    1 pound dry sea scallops
    1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
    1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
    1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
    8 ounces whole-wheat angel hair pasta
    1/2 cup white wine
    1/2 cup clam juice
    2 teaspoons cornstarch
    1/4 cup chopped garlic
    3 tablespoons lemon juice
    1 tablespoon capers
    2 teaspoons butter
    2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
    Cooking Instructions
    1. Put a large pot of water on to boil.


    2. Sprinkle scallops on both sides with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium and add the scallops; cook, turning once, until browned on both sides, about 6 minutes total. Transfer to a plate.


    3. Cook pasta in the boiling water until not quite tender, about 4 minutes. Drain and rinse.


    4. Whisk wine, clam juice and cornstarch in a small bowl until smooth.


    5. Cook garlic in the pan over medium-high heat, stirring often, until softened, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the wine mixture; bring to a boil and cook until thickened, about 2 minutes. Stir in lemon juice, capers and butter; cook until the butter melts, 1 to 2 minutes.


    6. Return the scallops to the pan, add the pasta and cook, stirring gently, until heated through and coated with the sauce, about 1 minute. Stir in parsley and serve immediately.

    I know the scallop one may be more expensive to make for some depending on the area they live in. Scallops are cheap & day fresh here in seafood country. I don't buy expensive "special" whole wheat pasta etc. unless I find it at the dollar store. Plain ole angel hair works fine.


    Enjoy!

    Nutty Orange Coffee Cake
    Courtesy by Paula Deen


    ¾ cup granulated sugar
    ½ cup chopped pecans
    2 teaspoons orange zest
    2 (12-ounce) cans refrigerated buttermilk biscuits (10 count)
    Note: Only use buttermilk biscuits. If you use large biscuits, cut them in half.
    Total count of biscuits is 20 (12 on the bottom of the bundt pan & 8 on top)
    1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese
    ½ cup (1 stick) melted butter
    1 cup sifted confectioners' sugar
    2 tablespoons fresh orange juice


    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
    In a small bowl, combine the granulated sugar, pecans, and zest; set aside.


    Separate the biscuits. Place about 3/4 teaspoon cream cheese in the center of each biscuit. Fold each biscuit in half over the cheese, pressing the edges to seal.
    Dip the biscuits in butter and then dredge in the granulated sugar mixture.


    Place the biscuits, curved-side down, in a single layer in the hollows of a lightly greased 12-cup bundt pan, spacing them evenly (do not stack). Place any remaining biscuits around the tube, filling any gaps. Drizzle any remaining butter over the biscuits, and sprinkle with any remaining sugar mixture.


    Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, until golden brown. Immediately invert the cake onto a serving platter. Combine the confectioners' sugar and orange juice, stirring well; drizzle the glaze over the warm cake. Serve warm.

    Turkey & Hash Brown Bake


    Ingredients:


    1 bag (16 oz.) or 4 1/2 cups frozen, shredded hash brown potatoes
    2 cups chopped frozen or fresh broccoli
    8 ozs. sliced turkey, cut into 1/2-inch pieces (about 2 cups)
    1 can (12 fl. oz.) NESTLÉ® CARNATION® Evaporated Milk
    1 can (10 oz.) condensed fat-free cream of chicken soup
    1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
    1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
    1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper


    Directions:
    PREHEAT oven to 350º F. Grease 13 x 9-inch baking dish.


    COMBINE all ingredients in large bowl until well blended. Pour into prepared baking dish.


    BAKE for 50 minutes or until heated through. Cool for 10 minutes before serving.


    TIPS:
    • When you visit the deli counter, ask for the amount of turkey you’ll need and it can be cut into one thick piece.


    • Looking to reduce the fat? Use NESTLÉ® CARNATION® Lowfat 2% or Fat Free Evaporated Milk in place of the evaporated milk for creaminess but with less fat.

    Ham Hash With Sweet Potatoes & Thyme


    Prep:
    Cook:
    Ready in:
    Serves: 4
    Ingredients


    2 tablespoons vegetable or olive oil
    1 large onion, cut into 1/2-inch dice
    1 pound ham cut into 1/2-inch dice
    1 pound potatoes, cut into 1/2-inch dice
    1/2 pound sweet potatoes, cut into 1/2-inch dice
    2 tablespoons vegetable or olive oil
    2 tablespoons ketchup
    1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
    1/2 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
    2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
    Salt and freshly ground black pepper
    Cooking Instructions
    Heat 2 Tbs. oil over low heat in a 12-inch non-stick skillet (so potatoes don't stick). While skillet heats, prepare onion and ham as directed above. A few minutes before cooking, increase heat to medium-high. When oil starts to send up wisps of smoke, add onion and ham; cook, stirring often, until golden brown, 7 to 8 minutes. Meanwhile, dice potatoes and toss with remaining oil. Transfer ham mixture to a bowl and reserve.


    Add potatoes to empty skillet; cook, stirring only occasionally so they form a golden-brown crust, about 10 minutes. As potatoes cook, mix ketchup, mustard, dried thyme, fresh parsley and 2 Tbs. of water. (Recipe can be prepared to this point up to 2 hours ahead. Spread hot potatoes on a large lipped cookie sheet; cover when cool. Return skillet to medium-high; add potatoes and re-crisp.)


    Return reserved ham mixture to skillet; stir in ketchup mixture, then season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, until hash has nicely browned, about 5 minutes longer.

    I didnt have a bag of potatoes today and didnt feel like going out so I have made potato salad using hash browns. It's good. I have made it before using instant mashed potatoes too. Potato salad is one of my favorite summer meals
