New Recipes

I tried a couple of new recipes this week. I liked them both. I added them to our recipe dropbox. But here they are as well...

Chicken Dorito Casserole

1 bag nacho cheese Doritos, divided (or use your favorite flavor)

3 cups cooked chicken, cubed

3 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend, divided

1 cup sour cream

1 pkg cream cheese, room temp

1 can cream of chicken soup

1 can fire-roasted diced tomatoes (I used salsa. Rotelle tomatoes would be good)

1 can corn, rinsed and drained

1 can green chiles

Preheat oven to 350 and lightly grease a 9x13 baking dish.

Crush 1/2 of Doritos into small pieces and pour them into greased baking dish.

In separate bowl, mix together cream cheese & sour cream until combined, then stir in chicken, 1 cup cheese, chicken soup, diced tomatoes, corn and green chiles.

Pour mixture over doritos. Top with remaining cheese. Bake until hot and bubbly - 25-30 min. Serve with Doritos for more crunch.

Orange Creamsicle Cookies Recipe:

Ingredients:

2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons orange zest (for me that was the zest of 2 oranges)
2 cups white chocolate chips

Directions:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.  In a small bowl, combine flour, baking soda, and salt; set aside.

In a large bowl, cream butter and sugars until light and creamy. Beat in egg and vanilla until smooth. Gradually add flour mixture until combined. Stir in orange zest and white chocolate chips.Drop rounded teaspoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheets. Do not flatten cookies; it will make them dry. Bake 8 – 10 minutes or until golden brown around edges. Do not overcook! Cookies will be plump. Cool for several minutes on cookie sheets before transferring to rack to cool completely. Store in airtight container.
