YOU'VE GOTTA TRY THIS!!! THURSDAY

Check out my original post for info about this fun weekly post.

I have another recipe for my YOU'VE GOTTA TRY THIS!!

Because we live on the east coast good Tex-Mex is VERY hard to come by! So, we have taken to making our own mexican food and are always looking for new recipes. Here is our newest favorite...

King Ranch Chicken

1/4 cup butter
1 medium bell pepper, chopped
1 medium onion, chopped
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1 can cream of chicken soup
1 can (10 oz) Rotel
2 cups cooked chicken, cubed
12 corn tortillas, cut in halves or fourths
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Cook pepper and onion in melted butter until tender. Add soups, Rotel, and chicken. Stir until well blended.In a 13x9x2 inch pan, layer tortillas, soup mixture and cheese. Repeat for 3 layers. Bake for 40 minutes or until hot and bubbling.

ENJOY!! It is YUMMY!!

Okay, now it's your turn. What is your YOU'VE GOTTA TRY THIS??? It doesn't have to be a recipe...share anything you want!

Yummy, we love Ranch Chicken. It's a great weeknight meal, especially if you've already got some cooked chicken (or the good canned kind) on hand. Super easy!

Along those same lines, I will say- You gotta try our homemade salsa. I will say, I am not a spicy lover, so this is a smoky, flavorful salsa, but NOT spicy. This is Jason's grandmothers' recipe.

1/2 4 oz. can of green chiles
1 can of stewed tomatoes
1/2 package of taco seasoning
garlic powder
dried minced onion

Mix in blender or food processor. The last two ingredients, use to your taste. As much or as little as you like. This is a basic recipe. I like it as is, but you could always add to it.

Mmm...I love that stuff!

OH, so on Sunday night I was over at a friend's house and he suggested for our group to play Settlers of Catan. I got all excited, but had to leave because I was sick. He thought I was making it up that I had heard of it and wanted to play. It was kind of hard to explain that it was on your latest "You've Gotta Try This" Thursday Post!

My latest "You've Gotta Try This" is the newest Janet Jackson CD, Discipline. I bought it today, it's awesome, IF you like dancing around in your room. I don't care for Janet's interludes when she talks to robots, but besides that, great aerobics music. Also, I don't suggest reading the lyrics. I made the mistake and discovered that she says "Heavy like a first day period" in one of her songs. Please Janet, keep that to yourself.

Silly me, I was looking for this on Thursday here... but it was still Wed. there... anyway, this week I recommend Wondertime magazine. It's a parenting mag but different than Parents or any of those, lots of educational stuff but in a fun way... that's not a good description but check out their website at wondertime.go.com or look for it at the store.
