Easy Chicken Pie Bisquick Style

1 to 2 c. cooked chicken , chopped or shredded .(I used a rotisserie chicken from Costco)
2 cans cream of chicken soup
3 potatoes, cubed
1/2 c. chopped carrots
1 small can mushrooms
1 cup frozen corn
2 cups Bisquick
1 cup milk
2 eggs

Boil the potatoes, carrots and corn till tender. Spread in a 9x13 pan, along with the chicken pieces. Spread soup over top ( can sprinkle with a little onion salt if wanted). Mix the bisquick, milk and eggs in separate bowl and spread over other ingredients. Bake at 350 for 30 minutes.

Homemade Tortilla Chips

Use soft corn tortillas. Cut into triangles with pizza cutter. Spread pieces on a cookie sheet. Spray with oil spray and lightly salt. Bake at 400 degrees until lightly browned. It took around 20 min. or so in my oven. If they aren't browned they will be too chewy instead of cripsy.

Serve with salsa, guacamole, or make into nachos. They are much healthier than the fried kinds you buy in the store.

Healthy Guacamole

1 cup frozen, shelled edamame, thawed
1 ripe avocado, peeled and pitted
1/2 cup chopped cilantro
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 onion, chopped
juice of 1 lime
3 tablespoons of water
optional - 1/2 jalapeno finely chopped
Salt and pepper to taste

Blend in food processor or blender. Add a bit more water if it's too thick.

Kim's Cinnamon Rolls

2 c milk, scalded

1/2 c. sugar

1/2 c. oil

4 tsp salt

2 Cups warm water

2 pkgs yeast ( 1 pkg yeast = 2 1/4 tsp SO use 4 1/2 tsp for this recipe if you dont have pkgs)

1 T sugar

9 to 10 cups flour

In a big bowl place the yeast mixed with the 1 T sugar and gradually add the warm water. Let sit for 10 minutes. In KitchenAid mixing bowl add scalded milk, oil, sugar and salt. Add yeast mixture and 6 cups flour. Knead for 3 minutes.

Gradually add the rest of the flour and turn out on a floured surface. Knead for 5 to 7 minutes more by hand. Place in a large, greased bowl and let sit for 1 hour.

Punch down dough and divide into 2 sections for large rolls and 3 sections for smaller rolls. Roll out and spread with butter, brown sugar and cinnamon. Roll up and slice.

Boule Bread

This recipe is from my sister in law Casha and is way yummy. Especially dipped in balsamic vinegar and oil.

3 c. luke warm water
1 1/2 Tbsp. yeast
1 1/2 Tbsp. course salt
6 1/2 c. flour

Add water, yeast, and salt together. You don't need to let them dissolve. Measure flour without packing it down in cup, just use scoop and sweep method. Mix flour into water mixture with wooden spoon and mix just until moist and no dry spots. Don't over mix. Don't knead. Let rise at room temp. for 2 hrs, or for better results refridgerate over night. When ready to bake, cut out piece of dough the size of a grapefruit and "cloak" dough.( Quickly shape it into a round shape without kneading it) Put it onto a cornmeal crusted cutting board. Let rise for 40 min. 20 minutes into the rising, preheat oven and pizza stone at 450 degrees. Dust the top of the loaf with flour and cut 3 slashes on the top. Put in the oven with a cup of hot water ( I put it in a bread loaf pan) under neath the pizza stone. Bake for 30 min.

Broiled Salmon with Herb Glaze

I made this one the other night and when I went to take a picture my camera was dead. It was really good though.

Ingredients
2 Garlic Cloves
3 Sprigs Fresh Rosemary, stems removed
4 Sprigs Fresh Thyme Leaves, stems removed
1 Tbsp Dry White Wine
1 Tbsp Extra-Virgin Olive Oil
2 Tbsp Dijon Mustard
2 Tbsp Whole-Grain Mustard
Nonstick Olive Oil Cooking Spray
6 (6 to 8 oz.) Salmon Fillets
Salt and Freshly Ground Black Pepper
6 Lemon Wedges for Garnish.

Using the bowl, add garlic, rosemary, thyme, wine, oil, and both mustards. Blend until the mustard sauce is combined, about 30 seconds. Set sauce aside. Preheat the broiler. Line a heavy rimmed baking sheet with foil. Spray the foil with nonstick spray. Arrange the salmon fillets on the baking sheet and sprinkle them with salt and pepper. Broil for 2 minutes. Spoon the mustard sauce over the fillets. Continue broiling until the fillets are just cooked through and golden brown, about 5 minutes longer. Transfer the fillets to plates and serve with lemon wedges.

Banana Whip

(Jared's mom got us a Ninja blender for Christmas, so these next two things are used with that. I'm sure they would work in a normal blender.)

Ingredients
1 Extra Large or 2 Small Ripe Bananas, peeled and frozen.
¾ Cup Low Fat (not fat free) Milk, or as needed
1 Tsp Vanilla extract
1 Tbsp Chocolate Chips
*1 Tsp Cinnamon Sugar

Cut the bananas into 1 ½ inch pieces and add to the pitcher, top with the milk and vanilla. Using short pulses blend until the banana is fully pureed; it will have the consistency of frozen yogurt. Pour into 2 small bowls and sprinkle with chocolate chips and cinnamon sugar.
*Combine 2 Tbsp sugar and 2 Tsp cinnamon in small bowl. Store in air tight container.
