Cherry Applesauce

My mother-in-law mentioned one day to me recently about how easy and yummy this dish is to make.  We tried it and we’ve had several times now.  The boys love it.  It’s a fast dish to go with any meal. 

• 1 large container of applesauce (I buy the cinnamon flavored one but you can do plain too)
• 1 pkg. of cherry Jell-O (don't prepare, just pour in dry)

Combine the two and ta da… you have yummy cherry applesauce!
 
WARNING… It’s a TAD BIT MESSY BUT WILL BRING LOTS OF SMILES! 

Velda’s Pumpkin Muffins

A couple weeks ago my Mother-in-law gave me this recipe and said I should try these sometimes.  I did. Oh my, these are so yummy and moist!  It’s really hard to just eat one.  Enjoy!

• 18 oz. yellow or spice cake mix
• 15 oz. can of pumpkin (not pie mix)
• 2 tbs. oil
• 1 egg
• 1/4 to 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp. vanilla
• 1/2 cup raisins or more if you want

Mix this all together, put in muffin pans, and bake at 350 degrees for 18 to 22 minutes.  You could also put white chocolate chips in instead of raisins. 

White Chicken Chili

One cold day last week I was searching on pinterest for a new recipe that looked appealing to me.  I found this one at this website and tried it.  It is my new favorite white chili recipe.  I’ve tried others before but this is my favorite so far and this one is very easy!

Ingredients:
3-4 chicken breasts
2 – 14.5oz cans black beans (rinsed)
2 – 14.5oz cans sweet corn (one drained, one with liquid)
1 can Rotel (I use Mild – but add more Ro*Tel or a hotter version to spice it up)
2 pkgs Ranch dressing mix
2 – 8oz pkgs cream cheese
2 tsp chili powder
2 tsp onion powder
2 tsp cumin
1/2-1 cup gluten-free broth (optional)

1) Place the raw chicken in the bottom of the crockpot.
2) Pour the beans, corn and Rotel over the chicken. Mix in the ranch mix and spices.
2a) This is a thick chili. If you are concerned with the thickness, you can add chicken broth to thin it down some. It won’t change the flavor much; just the consistency.
3) Lay the cream cheese on top of the chicken, beans, and corn.
4) Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours.
5) When done cooking, stir in the cream cheese and shred the chicken.
