Yesterday I cooked Easy Chicken and Cheese Enchiladas. I got the recipe from a Campbell's cookbook my sister gave me for my birthday a few years back. Basically, these were flour tortillas with a mixture of marble cheese, chicken, and picante salsa inside. Poured over the top was a sauce made of sour cream, more picante salsa, cream of chicken soup and some chili powder. I then tossed it all in a shallow baking dish and baked for 45 minutes. This recipe is the 'Ugly' from the title - check out how it looked:

Today, I went for a Rachael Ray recipe in the new cookbook Randy gave me for Christmas. The recipe is called 'Sliced Chicken with apples, pears, and camembert mashed potatoes'. Yum. This recipe had quite a bit more prep time and I found it difficult to co-ordinate the cooking of the potatoes with the separate cooking of the chicken so I had to re-heat the meal after it was prepared. The chicken is pretty basic (salt and pepper, then fried in a frying pan and sliced) and the apples and pears were sauteed in butter, honey, nutmeg, and lemon juice. For the potatoes, I boiled a bunch of baby yellow potatoes, then mashed them up with some camembert cheese and milk. Sprinkled over the top of both the potatoes and the chicken was a mixture of chives, fresh thyme, and lemon zest. Om nom nom.

Shout-outs from the past two days also include: peanut butter M&M's, chocolate peanut butter macaroons (thank you, SPCA meeting!), and tuna fish sandwiches with hot sauce and green onions (totally better than using mayo).
Tomorrow I am hitting up the Sopranos cookbook again and making Meatball and Mozzarella Heroes!
