Easter

We had a really nice Easter this year. We woke up and Marley looked through her basket, then we went out to eat with Mike's dad. After that we headed out to Illinois to my aunt and uncles. We had an egg hunt with all the kids and lots of dessert! 

Crazy kids! 

Jump!!

So cute! 

Mason and Mike were just sitting and putting eggs in the basket, then Mason would start clapping. 

All the great grandkids and some of the grandkids with my grandma and Aunt Lynda. 

White Chicken Enchiladas

I have seen this recipe on Pinterest a lot. It seems to be very popular. So, of course, I had to try it out. 

It was really good. I think I needed more chicken but otherwise it was tasty! 

6-8 corn or flour tortillas 

 chicken, shredded 

1 cup sweet corn

4 cups shredded cheese, divided in half

3 tablespoons butter

3 tablespoons all purpose flour

1-1/4 cups chicken broth

1 – 10oz can cream of chicken soup

1 cup sour cream

Note-I used raw chicken cut into small pieces. It is recommended that you use cooked chicken to ensure it is cooked thoroughly before eating. I did check my chicken to make sure it was no longer pink before we ate it. 

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place handful of chicken, corn and cheese on each tortilla.  

Roll up and place in baking dish seam side down. 

Melt butter in pan. Mix in flour until it thickens. Mix in chicken broth, cream of chicken, and sour cream until well mixed. 

Pour sauce over top of tortillas and cover with cheese. 

Bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes (or until chicken is no longer pink if you are using raw chicken) 

Chicken and Potato Casserole

This is another recipe that I changed a bit because I didn't think Marley would like the buffalo sauce on it. Okay, who am I kidding, I didn't think I would like it either.  If I make it again, I will probably put the sauce in but for now I left it out.

1 1/4 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch strips

6 cups frozen (thawed) southern-style hash brown potatoes

1 cup ranch or blue cheese dressing

1/2 cup shredded Cheddar cheese 

1 can (10 oz) condensed cream of celery soup

1/2 cup corn flake crumbs

2 tablespoons butter or margarine, melted

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix potatoes, celery soup, cheese, and ranch in a bowl. 

Pour into 9x13 baking dish. 

Place chicken on top of potato mixture. 

Mix corn flakes with melted butter. 

Pour corn flakes on top. Cover with foil and bake at 350 for 30 minutes. 

Uncover and bake for another 20-25 minutes or until potatoes are tender. 

Tater Tot Tacos

I'm not really sure why these are called tater tot tacos. There's no taco shell, but there is taco seasoning so maybe that's why. Who knows?! All I know is that it was delicious!

1 packet taco seasoning

1 lb ground beef, browned and drained

tater tots

shredded cheddar cheese

Cook tater tots according to directions on package.

Brown ground beef and drain grease. Mix in taco season according to package directions. 

Place cooked tater tots on bottom of baking dish or bowl. Pour taco meat on top. Cover with shredded cheese. Place in warm oven until cheese is melted.
