Ranch BLT Chicken Tacos

     Summer is on the way and it is time to think about some great recipes for the hot days ahead.  This recipe is one of those recipes you will want to have handy.  ALL the time!!  It is fast and simple to prepare and doesn't take hours over a hot stove to make.  Just a few ingredients and a couple of steps to a taco bursting with flavor!  Try it, you'll like it!!

     This is a recipe that is easily adjusted to make any amount to fit the amount of mouths to feed.  Each taco takes about 1/4 lb of chicken and 1/2 slice of bacon.  Multiply that by the number of tacos you need.  The recipe below is the way I make them but feel free to add more bacon and taco seasoning or less, make them the way you like them!  Enjoy!

Chicken Marengo

 This simple, 6 ingredient  recipe for Chicken Marengo is sooo delicious.  I found it years ago on the back of a Campbell's soup can.  I have to say that the soups by themselves are good but when you combine them they create a whole new and rich flavor.  My family has loved this recipe for years and I hope you will have it as a new tradition in yours!





Wash and cut up about 3 lbs of bone in chicken pieces.  (You could use boneless chicken breast, it isn't as flavorful but would be good.  Reduce cooking time to about 15 minutes or until chicken is cooked through and check often to prevent over cooking.)

Assemble ingredients and thinly slice the onions.

Brown the chicken pieces with oil in a skillet over med high heat.  Reduce heat and remove oil. 

 Add remaining ingredients and separate onion rings over the top.  Bring to a simmer and cover.  Cook on medium low heat for about 45 minutes checking and turning every 10 minutes to avoid over browning.

Serve with rice.

Cookie Dough Frosted Brownies

     Brownies hold a special place in most people's heart just by themselves.  That warm chocolate chewy goodness we love is a wonderful thing.  The recipe I bring to you today does not try to improve on that.  This cookie dough frosting is just the perfect compliment to the deep chocolate flavor found in this unique brownie base. 

      I need to give my son in law credit for finding this recipe (he found it in Mel's Kitchen Cafe).  When he served these for my daughter's birthday party, I couldn't get home fast enough to make them again! The Cookie Dough frosting is really something special.  It doesn't overpower your taste buds or taste too sweet.  I know you will love them too! 

     First you make the brownies by melting butter and chocolate chips together in a pan over low heat.  (Yes you heard correctly, there are melted chocolate chips in the batter!)  When they are melted take the pan off the heat and stir in the sugar.  Add the eggs one by one until each is fully incorporated.  Add flour and salt and beat until you see bubbles in the batter.  Pour batter into a 13 x 9 pan and bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes.  Turn heat to 325 degrees and bake for 10 minutes more.  Remove from oven and allow to cool.

While the brownies cool, make your frosting.  Cream the butter and sugars together until light and then add the milk and vanilla.  Slowly add in the flour and salt until blended.  Stir in chocolate chips.

Drop in small spoonfuls over the top of the brownies evenly. 

Carefully use the back of a tablespoon to slowly smooth the frosting over the top of the brownies.  Enjoy!
