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...

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!

Sticky Bun Breakfast Ring

Just baked this recipe this morning! How delicious!! Super easy to make (which is what i'm all about) and tastes like it just came from some professional bakery!
