i found this recipe on the blog mennonite girls can bake
and it was easy & delicious
6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 24oz jar of mexican style salsa
1 can corn
1 can black beans (my tasty addition)
pour some salsa into the crock pot. place the chicken breasts in the pot and cover with the rest of the salsa. cook on low for 7 hours (or on high, just reduce baking time). within the last hour, add the corn & the beans.
this can be used now for a few different meals. just served over rice. or put into a tortilla for a wrap. place on a tortilla with cheese, fold in half to make a quesadilla.
it is very tasty. and easy. perfect.

cornbread
i just got back from a wonderful trip to visit my friend emily
we were able to celebrate our birthdays together, and she gave me a beautiful tea towel, a fabulous cast iron pan AND a delicious recipe for corn bread to make in my pan.
i made it the other day, and it was so tasty. at the end of the recipe emily wrote "eat with butter and honey and think of emily" and that is just what i did.
enjoy!
cornbread
1 1/2 cup buttermilk
2 eggs
1 cup cornmeal
1/2 cup flour (white or whole wheat)
3 tbsp sugar (brown is nice)
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
3 tbsp butter (or oil)

best-ever brownies
i decided to try this delicious looking recipe from my chatelaine magazine
it's baking in the oven, and it smells sooo tasty.
1 cup hazelnuts (i used walnuts because i didn't have hazelnuts)
1 cup flour
1/4 cup cocoa powder
1/4 tsp salt
6 oz semi-sweet chocolate (6 squares)
1/2 cup butter
3 eggs
1 cup sugar
2 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup mixed chocolate chips
preheat oven to 325.
coat or spray a 2 litre baking dish with oil. in a small bowl, using a fork, stir flour with cocoa and salt. using a serrated knife, coarsely chop chocolate. place in a medium sized bowl along with butter.
microwave chocolate and butter on medium until almost melted, about 3 minutes. using a rubber spatula to stir chocolate halfway through microwaving. then stir until smooth. set aside to cool.
in a large bowl, whisk eggs, then sugar and vanilla. using a spatula, scrape in cooled chocolate mixture, then stir until evenly mixed. gradually stir in flour mixture, just until almost mixed (overmixing toughens brownies) stir in nuts and chocolate chips until evenly distributed. spread batter in baking dish. smooth top.
bake until edges are firm and middle is set, 35-45 minutes. don't overbake (a toothpick inserted in the centre may have chocolately crumbs clinging to it) remove pan to a rack and cool. cut into squares.

sliders & hamburger buns
i decided to make hamburgers the other day for supper
it smelled like bbq everywhere i went and i really wanted bbq!
i didn't have any buns, so i found a quick bun recipe online
i made a small-mini batch (4 buns)
and once supper was done.. i had managed to make mini burgers (everything turned out smaller than expected) so now we're calling them sliders.
hamburger patty
ground beef (2 pounds maybe?)
1/3 cup french onion soup mix/powder
1/3 cup oats (oatmeal)
mix by hand. if the meat is not wet enough to hold it's shape, then you can add 1 egg into the mixture. if it gets too wet, just add a bit more oatmeal.
shape into wide, flat patties (they shrink up, so it's good to make them flat) and place onto wax paper on a plate. cook on the bbq until brown all the way through.
hamburger buns (yields 4 buns)
1/4 cup & 1 tbsp warm milk
2 teaspoons butter, melted
2 teaspoons warm water
2 teaspoons white sugar
2 g instant yeast
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup & 3 tbsp & 1 tsp flour, or more as needed
mix together warm milk, butter, warm water, white sugar & yeast. allow the yeast to bubble/foam up, approximately 8 minutes. add salt & flour, adding more as needed.
shape into balls & place on a greased baking sheet. let rise for 20 minutes.
bake for 15 minutes at 375 degrees
once cool, slice in half & serve with the hamburger pattys. enjoy with chips!
