White Queso Dip

Mexican Restaurant Style White Cheese (Queso) Dip

1 pound white, deli-sliced American cheese

⅔ cup of milk ( not skim or 1%) or half-and-half

3-4 tablespoons of canned, chopped green chiles or jalapeno pepper

1 teaspoon cumin

1 teaspoon chipotle powder (optional)

If using a slow cooker, turn on to the lowest setting. Dump everything in, heat and stir until thickened.

If using a double boiler, heat the milk, chopped chiles and spices, then gradually add in the American cheese, 1-2 slices at a time, stirring until fully melted and incorporated together.

**Although I have not made this myself, the recipe looks to be quite authentic and I will be making this at some point in time.

Chocolate Chip Mug cake

I found this recipe at Daily Simple Recipes. And since I love mug recipes I thought I would keep and share this one with all of you. A mug recipe keeps me from overindulging on a good thing. 

4 tbsp all purpose flour

2 tbsp brown sugar (lightly packed)

1/4 tsp baking powder

3 tbsp low fat milk

1/8 tsp vanilla

1/2 tbsp vegetable oil

2 tbsp semisweet chocolate chips

Combine all ingredients except chocolate chips into a microwave safe mug. This is a small cake so you can use an 8 oz mug and it should just reach the top when finished cooking. You can also use an oversized mug, but the cake will be lower in the mug. Mix with a small, sturdy whisk until a smooth batter forms and no lumps remain.

 Stir in half of the chocolate chips. Sprinkle remaining half over surface. Cook in microwave for about 1 minute. Let cool a few minutes before eating.

And that’s it done, enjoy!!!

Mamma's Egg bake aka Oven Omelet

Egg Bake (from Kim)

Pictures shown as of the recipe cut in half, in a 9 x 9 pan.

My husband swore he didn't like egg bakes so I called this an oven omelet because he loves omelets, and he loved the egg bake and now he will ask for it by name. It's all in a title for some people. Enjoy.

6 -9 slices of bread crust removed

cubed ham, sausage or bacon crumbled ( I use 6 or 7 strips of fried bacon)

3 cups milk 

1/2 teas. salt

1 Tbls. chopped onion

6 large or 9 med eggs

1 to 2 cups of shredded  cheddar cheese

Butter or grease a 9x13 pan ( I just spray it with Pam). Put bread in bottom. Cube meat and lay on top of the bread. Put cheese on top of meat. Mix milk, salt, eggs, onion and pour on top. Cover with foil and place in fridge over night.  Bake uncovered at 350 for 45 minutes.
Baked and out of the oven.....
