Foil-Pack Taco Chicken Dinner

Yes, I know it's been a while. Sorry guys, life's been a little hectic lately, but here is something I made the other night when I was crunched for time.

It's so easy, and keeps the chicken so moist because of it being baked in the foil, melts in your mouth!!

Foil-Pack Taco Chicken Dinner

Ingredients:
4 small boneless skinless chicken breasts (1lb)
4 t taco seasoning mix
1/2 lb red potatoes (about 2), peeledd, thinly sliced
1 cup Tex Mex Shredded Cheese
1/2 cup salsa
1/4 cup sour cream

Heat your oven to 400. Springle the chicken with seasoning mix. Place 1/4 of the potatoes on the center of each of 4 large sheets of heavy-duty foil; top with chicken, cheese and salsa.

Fold foil to make 4 packets, leaving room for heat circulation inside. Place on baking sheet.

Bake 30-35 minutes, cool for 5. Cut slits in foil to release steam before opening them. Top with sour cream.

Easy, right? Super yummy. I just sliced up some cucumbers and ate those right along side with the chicken. The potatoes underneath are just enough to be considered a "side dish". It's a perfect meal if you need something quick and easy to do.

White Chocolate Chip & Cranberry Cookies

I was craving a cookie but didn't want an old fashion chocolate chip, or something over powering with sweetness. I had all of these ingredients just sitting in my pantry waiting for me to use to make something quick & delicious. I would say they're healthy for you since i used dried cranberries...but i feel like that would be pushing it :-P Ingredients: -3/4 cup softened butter -3/4 cup brown sugar -1/2 cup white sugar -1 egg -2t vanilla -1 3/4 cup flour -1/4t salt -1/2t baking soda -1 cup dried cranberries -1 cup white chocolate chips Lets get this party started: Preheat oven to 350 Blend butter, sugars, egg & vanilla until smooth. Stir in flour, salt & baking soda (it gets pretty stiff). Add white chocolate chips & cranberries. (at this point i just hand stirred everything in instead of having the dough get stuck to the whisks on the electric mixer). Drop by rounded teaspoons on baking sheet, space them about...

No Bake Peanut Butter Cookies

I'm not going to lie, I had no idea what a "no bake" was until a friend of mine told me his favorite cookies were no bakes (this was around Christmas time when I go cookie crazy!). So I looked up a recipe and ended up falling in LOVE with them. They're so quick to make. This recipe here took me (start to finish) 20 minutes to do. So if you want something sweet and have nothing in the pantry to snack on, just whip these up super quick (because you should have everything you need already at home!) and enjoy! No Bake Peanut Butter Cookies Ingredients: - 2 cups sugar - 1/4 cup margarine - 1/2 cup milk - 1 cup peanut butter - 1t vanilla - 3 cups rolled oats (old fashioned) In a large saucepan, mix sugar, margarine and milk; bring to a full rolling boil over medium heat. Boil for one minute, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and stir in peanut butter and vanilla, stirring until peanut butter is melted; stir in oats. Working quickly, drop spoonfuls on...

A "little bit of everything" cookie

I know it's been a while, but I try to get on here as much as I can, and sadly it's not as much as I wish I could be. I had some spare time tonight though and thought it was time for some cookies to be made! I have another dinner recipe I want to share, "Drunken Pork chops" but i'll get to that another time. Cookies are way more important!

Add the sugar and brown sugar and beat for 2 minutes. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each...
