Kind of a deconstructed enchilada. Would make great nachos. Harissa works if you’re out of tomato paste :-)

This was amazing! We loved it, and perfect for meal prep!

Yummy! Nice and light garden fresh take on an easy Mexican skillet style dinner.

Because my location and situation often means I can't always find ingredients, I use recipes as ideas more than actually following them. In this case, no rotisserie chicken , no black beans, no cheese. What I did was cook rice in my rice pot, and put onions, corn, boneless chicken thighs, flavored with garlic powder, oregano, and cumin, topped with a can of Rotel tomatoes and jalapenos, into my slow cooker. At dinner time I fried rice with salt and pepper, stirred in tomato paste, then shredded the chicken and strained the ingredients in the slow cooker and stirred it all with the rice. Then topped it all with a layer of refried beans and spread on some salsa con queso.  The house smelled great, and oh, so delicious!!

I made this and didn't like the texture or even the taste really, my mom liked it though so perhaps it's a personal preference. I thought it was dry but I did not add chicken.

Great one pan meal. Easy to make, very tasty. First bites clearly cauliflower but with the spices and other ingridients, flavor really grows on you. Plus no food coma after a couple servings.

I lowered the carbs a bit by omitting the corn & half the cauliflower; I used canned crushed tomatoes & Hatch chili enchilada sauce with sharp cheddar, then simmered it about an hour to reduce the liquid.  Topped it with chilis, avocado & sour cream - pretty good.  It didn't resemble the pics here at all, and I had to use a wok instead of a skillet due to the volume.

This recipe is really good. 2nd time I made this, I added 2 cups of grated cauliflower and 2 cups of grated broccoli for added vegetable and it also worked out great.

Easiest One-Pot Mac and Cheese

milk

water

salt

(16-ounce) box macaroni

cheddar cheese

In a deep skillet or dutch oven, stir the milk, water, and salt together over medium high heat. Stir in the uncooked macaroni and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook, stirring very frequently, for about 8 minutes or until the pasta is tender and most of the liquid has been absorbed. Turn off the heat and stir in the cheese. Stir until melted. Serve immediately.

What should we make next with Spaghetti Squash?

Hubby and I really enjoyed my first time making this dish. Mine doesn’t look as colorful as yours because I chopped onions and peppers too small and sautéed them first, then added other ingredients and cooked some more so onions and peppers got a bit overcooked. Also I didn’t have fresh parsley so I used dried and fresh would have added more color to the top. Having said all that, the flavor was wonderful and the dish is unique and fun to eat!

This recipe was easy to follow and tasted great. My first spaghetti squash ever and glad I followed this recipe. Nice work!! 😃

Excellent recipe!! Takes awhile to get ready, but we'll worth it. 
Ingredients can be interchanged. Don't like peppers... Leave them out.
We had ttoo much filling to fit back into squash shells. Put the extra into ramikins. Nice lunch for another day. I still was unable to finish my half. Very creative & different!!!

This recipe is awesome. I’m not sure if the spaghetti squash we got were just really big? But there was WAYY more squash then filling. So the 2nd time we made this, I scooped the squash into a bowl & seasoned it again w/ salt & pepper. We doubled the onions, bell peppers & cheese—instead of doing a single layer w/ cheese on top, we made it like lasagna & did a double layer. It was great!

You have to be an elephant to consume this much food.  Half of the recipe would more than be filling for two people.  Tasteless and definitely not worth repeating.

It was a great meal. Very easy to prepare

Made this tonight it was great! Thanks for an awesome recipe! Will make again!

Absolutely amazing! Making it again real soon.

This Primavera Stuffed Spaghetti Squash Tastes Like Summer

Easy Chicken with Cream Cheese Pan Sauce

chicken breasts

pepper

garlic powder

butter

chicken broth

oz cream cheese, room temperature, cubed

mustard (dijon, creole,

Trim excess fat and then slice the chicken breast in half lengthwise to equal pieces that are roughly 3/4 to 1-inch in thickness. Season both sides of the chicken with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Set aside.

In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Cook the chicken (working in batches if necessary) in the skillet until it is cooked through and the internal temperature is 165°. Adjust the heat as necessary to prevent burning and add additional oil if needed. Remove the chicken from the skillet and tent with aluminum foil to keep warm.

Add the butter and melt. Add the chicken broth to the pan and scrape the bottom of the pan to loosen the cooked-on bits.

Bring the broth to a simmer and add cream cheese. Whisk together to combine once melted.

Add mustard and continue to simmer until sauce starts to thicken, stirring frequently. Add salt and pepper to taste.

Once the sauce is thick, return the chicken to the pan and coat with the sauce. Add additional broth if the sauce gets too thick. Serve immediately.

Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover with water. Add the salt. Bring to a boil then reduce the heat to simmer and cook until the potatoes are tender, but still firm.

Drain the potatoes and immediately sprinkle them with the vinegar.

In a small bowl, whisk together the mustard, mayonnaise, and pickle relish to make the dressing.

In a large bowl combine potatoes, eggs, onion, and dressing and lightly toss to coat. Add salt and pepper to taste. Enjoy warm or allow the flavors to dvelop further in the refrigerator for several hours. Adjust seasoning to taste after refrigeration before serving.

Use leftover roast chicken in this speedy lentil recipe for two people. With fresh herbs, ground spices and a good zing of lemon juice, this Turkish-inspired recipe makes a perfect midweek meal.

Turkish lentils with chicken and carrots

coriander seeds

Oil,

onion, finely chopped

carrots, roughly chopped

garlic cloves, crushed

½ tsp chilli flakes

puy lentils

tomato purée

chicken stock

leftover chicken, shredded

kale

fresh mint, chopped

fresh parsley, chopped

lemon, juiced

Greek yogurt, to serve

Aleppo chilli flakes, optional, to serve

Heat a large deep saucepan, add the coriander seeds and toast for a few minutes until fragrant. Roughly grind in a pestle and mortar. In the same pan, heat a glug of oil and add the ground coriander, onion and carrots, then fry for 5 minutes. Add the garlic cloves and chilli flakes. Gently cook for 2-3 minutes, then add the puy lentils. Cook, stirring, for another minute, then add the tomato purée and chicken stock. Simmer for 30-35 minutes until the lentils are tender.

Stir in the chicken, kale and the mint and parsley. You may need to add a splash of water to loosen the mixture. Taste and season, add the lemon juice and simmer for 5-10 minutes until the lentils are fully cooked and the kale has wilted. Serve with Greek yogurt and, if you like, aleppo chilli flakes.

Pickle de Gallo

dill pickles

red bell pepper,

medium yellow onion, diced

jalapeño, seeds and membranes removed, diced

tomato,

pickle brine

Stir together all ingredients and season with a healthy pinch of salt. Allow to rest in refrigerator for about 1 hour to allow the flavors to develop. Toss again before serving. Keeps for about 1 week.

Brown Butter Rice Krispie Treats

unsalted butter ((1 ½ sticks))

(10-ounce) bags mini marshmallows

(7-ounce) jar marshmallow creme

(12-ounce) box Rice Krispies Cereal

Lightly spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray and set it aside. Pour the cereal into a very large bowl and set aside.

In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, continue cooking at a low boil, stirring frequently, scraping the bottom of the pan. The butter will foam up, but continue to cook until the milk solids in the butter start to brown and the butter begins to smell nutty - 3 to 5 minutes. Watch carefully as the milk solids can burn easily and become bitter.

Add the marshmallows and stir to melt - reducing the heat if necessary. You may need to add the marshmallows in increments depending on the size of your pan. Add the salt and marshmallow creme and stir to combine. If you have trouble getting the butter and marshmallow to combine, just keep stirring.

Remove the marshmallow mixture from the heat and pour over the cereal. Use a rubber or silicone spatula to stir the mixture to get the cereal covered. Pour the mixture into the prepared dish and lightly press flat with clean spatula. If you have trouble with this step, you can spray the spatula or your hands with a little nonstick spray to make it easier. Just don&#039;t press too firmly or your treats will be dense. Allow to cool for at least 1 hour before slicing and serving. Store in a sealed container.

I made these and they were a big hit! So delicious! Thank you!

Love, love, love butter cake. My mom, who is 82 asked me what kind of cake I wanted for my birthday and I said I'd rather have this. She makes them with lemon cake mix and it is soooo good. She was out of lemon and made it like this and it is soooo good.

Perfect directions!! Not real big on these but I am now lol. Thanks Stacey
