Buttermilk Syrup

If you don't read this blog you are totally missing out right now. This syrup is fantastically super delicious. It joined my family, along with my sister in law, last year. And we've been addicted ever since.

1/2 lb of butter
1 cup of Sugar
1 cup of buttermilk
1/2 teaspoon of Baking Soda
1 teaspoon of Vanilla

Melt butter, sugar and buttermilk together. Add Baking Soda and vanilla. Serve over your favorite breakfast item, or just eat it by the spoonful.

Enchilada's

This first Recipe came from my mom.

Enchilada's with Red Sauce

1 big can of Enchilada Sauce (I'm guessing it would be a 30 oz can)
1 can of cream of chicken soup
1 can of black beans
1-2 chicken breasts (or a can of chicken)
Tortilla's
Cheese

Mix the enchilada sauce and the can of cream of chicken soup together and set aside. In a separate bowl mix black beans, cheese, chicken, a little of the sauce mixture and whatever else you would like to put in (we've put in onions, rice, corn and my mom has even used green beans). Pour a little sauce into the bottom of your baking pan- just enough to cover the bottom. Then place the tortillas in the pan. If you use flour tortilla's bend in half and place in the pan with the top open, place the bean and chicken mixture inside and roll them. If you use corn tortilla's layer the bottom with 4 or 5 tortilla shells, spread the bean and chicken mixture on top and then top off with 4 or 5 more tortilla shells. Cover with the rest of the enchilada sauce and put cheese on top. Then cook in the oven at 350 for about 20 minutes or until the cheese is bubbling.

This recipe is one I made up.

Cheesy Enchilada's

1 can of cream of chicken soup
1 8 oz package of cream cheese
1 cup of sour cream
1 small can of diced green chili's
1 tablespoon of salsa
1 can of black beans
1-2 chicken breasts (or 1 can of chicken)
Cheese
Tortilla's

Mix together the can of chicken soup, cream cheese, sour cream, diced chili's, salsa and cheese- however much you prefer. Set aside. In a separate bowl mix black beans, cheese, chicken, a little of the sauce mixture and whatever else you would like to put in (we've put in onions, rice, corn and my mom has even used green beans). Pour a little sauce into the bottom of your baking pan- just enough to cover the bottom. Then place the tortillas in the pan. If you use flour tortilla's bend in half and place in the pan with the top open, place the bean and chicken mixture inside and roll them. If you use corn tortilla's layer the bottom with 4 or 5 tortilla shells, spread the bean and chicken mixture on top and then top off with 4 or 5 more tortilla shells. Cover with the rest of the enchilada sauce and put cheese on top. Then cook in the oven at 350 for about 20 minutes or until the cheese is bubbling.

*I made it with corn tortilla's, which my husband liked, but I think I would prefer flour.
