Chicken Taco Salad

My daughter is a beautiful and amazing young lady. Even though she is 26 years old, I still refer to her as my baby girl. Hard to believe 26 years have gone by. I am so proud of her. She is a strong and positive lady. I am so blessed to not only have a daughter that is as wonderful as her, but to also call her my best friend.
She has an awesome job... but...
She works the midnight shift.
Of course I know she is safe at work. But I do not want her to go out at 3:00am to get lunch.
So if she wants me to make her a chicken taco salad....
Then I will gladly do it for my baby girl.
The recipe is way beyond easy.. On a scale of 1-10.. 1 being easy and 10 being hard..
it is for sure a 1.
Here are the ingredients...
First thing you need to do is fry up the chicken.. you do not want it to be crispy like fried chicken.. you just to need to make sure it is cooked through.
After chicken is cooked.. next you need to cut it up...
Put the cut up chicken back in the pan

Add the taco seasoning from the packet

Add water... I actually just fill in the packet with water and put it in the pan
It will come up to a boil, stir once in a while... it will take about 10 minutes.. and it will thicken..
Cook until all liquid is gone.. It will be absorbed by the chicken.
This is salad.. You can add more chicken if you would like. You can also top it with salsa..
I prefer mine with ranch dressing..

Enjoy!!!

Loaded Baked Potato Salad

I figured since I was on vacation this week...
I would be eating alot of sandwiches...
So I thought it would be a great idea to make loaded potato salad to have with them...
Start by peeling your potatoes.. rinse and put in cold water on the stove... It will take about 10-15 mintues to cook them... you will want to take a fork and put through the potato.. you want it to still be a little firm.. Do not let them get too mushy.. or you will have to make loaded mashed potatoes...(which is the same recipe.. but one you mix gently and the other you mash..)


Here are the ingredients...
Cook the potaoes and let them cool ... then all you do is put all the ingredients in a bowl to mix
I used about a pound of potatoes... 1 cup of mayo, 2 tablespoons of mustard , 1/2 cup sour cream and 1 cup of cheese..I also put seasoned salt in there (forgot to put it in the picture ) . I had some bacon in the freezer.. I just put the bacon in the microwave for about 15 seconds.. then cut it up.... And then I mixed it all up... Do not mix too much or you will have loaded mashed potatoes instead...





This is what it looks like after you mix it all up...
Enjoy!!!

Egg Salad Recipe


Egg Salad Recipe

Well,
I can not believe that it has been so long since I have been on here.
I started another blog on another site..
I totally forgot about this one.
The other site was going to be a cooking site..
Now this one will be the cooking and recipe site.
I have always loved to cook, and more than that I love easy recipes that everyone can do.
So here is my 4 ingredient egg salad that is super easy and super good.
The first thing to do.....
Put in your eggs in a pot with water...
Bring to a boil...
Then put on lid..
Turn off heat...
Let the eggs cook for 13 minutes...
Then run under cold water and take off shell.
Put the egg in a slicer turned vertical and slice
Pick up the whole egg and put it in horizontal and slice

Then put it horizontal and press it...
It will look like that when you are done..

After you do this to all the eggs... Simply put them in a bowl.
Then it time to add the good stuff to them...
I added 1/2 cup mayo, tablespoon of mustard and 2 tablespoons of seasoned salt..
And.... Here is your egg salad sandwich...
Enjoy!!!!!!!!!!!
