Crockpot Fluffy Lava Cake

1 Devils Cake Mix
1 package of Jello Instant Pudding
Enough 3 Musketeers bars to cover the top (I prefer using the minis...6 for $1)

Turn Crockpot on low, remove crock.  First, lightly spray your crock with nonstick spray.  

   Mix your cake batter and pour into your crock. Then do the same with the pudding mix, spreading it out in a layer on top of the cake batter. Then arrange your candy bars on top.  Place the lid and cook on Low for 3 - 4 hours, or until cake is done.

BE CREATIVE!! Change up the pudding flavor, or the candy bar. Try it with Vanilla Pudding, Angel Food Cake, and Cookies and Cream Hershey Bars!!!!!

Southwest BBQ Chicken Rice Bowl

This is a GOOD meal...that can be altered to whatever taste you like! This just happens to be my favorite way! Be creative, be you! Make it yours!

Chicken Breasts, Chicken Strips, or Chicken Chunks, etc. (If you can find breaded like popcorn chicken or chunks, that's the easiest way!)
1 Cup Whole Kernel Corn
1 Cup Black Beans
White Rice
BBQ Sauce and A1 mixed together 2 parts BBQ:1 part A1 ( or...Try my homemade sauce for this!)
http://everygirlrecipes.blogspot.com/2016/03/neshas-homemade-bbq-sauce-warning-spice.html

*If chicken is not already breaded- Cornmeal, salt, pepper, other seasoning in one bowl,  1 egg and a dab of milk in another - for breading. Dip chicken in egg/milk combo, then dip in cornmeal and seasoning mix to coat.*

Pour about an inch of oil in your frying pan or skillet.  Fry the chicken pieces on low heat, stirring regularly.  While they are heating, start to make your homemade sauce in a sauce pan if using that! Also, boil your rice in another pan!
When the rice is done, Take half of it out and set aside. (Be sure to keep checking and stirring your frying chicken pieces!) To the half still on the stove, add the corn and beans, (check your chicken one time now) along with onions, red peppers, diced tomatoes (drained) and green peppers...or anything else you might think of!  OR you can just add some drained Rotel... Either way, this is called a Southwest Blend! Should be very chunky with a little rice to lots of veggie ratio! Set it aside. (Check the chicken again)
When your chicken is browned, turn the heat to the lowest, and add your sauce to it. Cook it on lowest setting until warm, and all of sauce is absorbed! Should not take longer than 5 minutes to cook and absorb the sauce up into the chicken!

Then it is time to layer! Grab a bowl. Spoon some white rice on the bottom, then top with a layer of the southwest blend you made. Top it with a load of chicken and ENJOY!

EASY and delicious! ENCHILADAS

Easy enchiladas.....

1 pound ground beef/hamburger meat
1/2 pound fajita chicken
1 can Rotel
1 can enchilada sauce
Diced onions and peppers
Doritos
Flour tortillas
Shredded cheese
Taco Seasoning or Chile Powder and Garlic Salt
(I added red yellow and orange green peppers too with my meat)

Brown your meats...ground beef first and drown, then brown the chicken in the grease from that.  Then mix it all together in the skillet on low.  Pre heat your oven to 350, and pour half of the enchilada sauce in the bottom of a glass baking dish.  Then make your enchiladas. In each tortilla, put a yummy mix of Rotel, meats, cheese, and whatever else you think would be delish.  Roll them tight and place them in the dish.  Once you have the dish filled, pour the rest of the meat mixture over and around the enchiladas.  Pour the rest of the enchilada sauce on top of that. Smother it all in shredded cheese, sprinkle some diced onions and peppers on top.  Then some crunched up Doritos on top (I like using spicy ones...or cool ranch!) Then more Rotel and cheese. You get the idea. Bake it for 20 minutes or until it looks....done. ITS SO GOOOOOD!

Indian Tacos......does not matter what meat you use...you will love it.

MY FAVORITE REASON to make fry bread is INDIAN TACOS! I LOVE THEMMMMMM! Here ya go!

Basically, you just make your fry bread (I'll add a link to that). Prep the following recipe while it is resting in the bowl.  When kneading and forming your dough, make the edges thicker than the middle, somewhat like a thick crust pizza.  After frying it, make your tacos!!!

Fry Bread: Every Girl's Fry Bread!

FOR THE TACOS!

1 pound Ground Beef, Shredded Chicken, Fajita Steak, or whatever meat(s) you choose!

Seasoning to taste (cumin, salt, pepper, and onion salt is my favorite combo for this one! Throw in mexican pepper or chile powder for spicy goodness!)

1 can or 1 cup cooked black beans

1 can Rotel

Shredded lettuce

Shredded Cheese

While bread dough is resting, Season your meat, then brown it in a medium skillet.  When the meat is halfway done, add half of the Rotel and the beans to the meat, and turn down the heat as you stir it.  Cook until meat is done and liquid is boiling out.  Remove from heat and drain. 

Make your fry bread into large fluffy pieces for big taco, OR make small ones for mini indian tacos (my favorite for the kiddos and I!) Fry your fry bread (its really good if you fry it in the grease from the meat…just saying….) Then place bread on a plate and build your tacos!!!  Layer it up…meat and beans, cheese, lettuce, rotel, onions, whatever you want!!! SOOOOO good!

Breakfast Tacos...with FRY BREAD!!! YUMMMMM

OK fry bread was, to me, a breakfast food. Here is another breakfast classic I picked up from my family with fry bread!  This one is good to just make the meat and eggs and then set everything out.  Let everyone make their own!!! This one is an INSTANT favorite!!

Bacon and Sausage Breakfast Tacos

1 pound Sausage

1 can of Rotel

Salt and Pepper to taste

3 strips bacon

Fry Bread! : Every Girl's Fry Bread!

Cook fry bread into small pieces, when it is still soft, use an upside down muffin tin to form them.  Bake them 5 minutes or until brown but not dark.  Remove them and let them cool…

by the bottom, I mean this way : 

While your bread is resting, cook your Sausage and bacon. Break bacon up into pieces.  EGGS OPTIONS are scrambled, or fried.  I like to fry mine done and place on the top of my taco.  My nana likes to scramble hers in with the meat and rotel and smother it with cheese.  YOU CHOOSE! When your bread is done baking in the oven, Layer it up with sausage, cheese, bacon, rotel, and egg! Add ranch dressing for zesty yumminess! I like to eat my nanas way with hot sauce! Make it yours! Let everyone layer and make their own!

Basic Fry Bread! or as my Nana and Big Momma called it "Indian Fry Bread"!!!

There are a few

different recipes to flavor it sweet or spicy, but basic fry bread is always

good. NO MATTER WHAT you make it to go with! Here is the best, easiest way to

make it.  Switch it up and add a little

sugar or cinnamon or Chile powder or 

something to make it yours!

Fry Bread

There are 2 different ways to make this.  One is if you want neat, thick frybread or if you want to make it a certain shape...also if you have more time to prep.  The second, is made more like pancakes, make the batter and fry.  MUCH faster and easier...but different textures! Try both!

DOUGH

3 cups flour

1/2 teaspoon salt

3 teaspoons baking
powder

3/4 cup cups of milk

Stir flour, powder,
and salt in bowl.  Slowly add your milk
as you mix it in with a fork.  Keep at it
until it comes together as a dough. Add a little water, less than 1/2 cup) if
needed, as needed.  Cover it with a towel
or paper towel and let it sit for 45 minutes.
Then, heat between 1 and 2 inches of oil or shortenin in a large skillet, between medium and high.  When it gets hot, turn down to medium.  EITHER form with flour into dough and Roll a solid medium sized ball of dough and
press it into a round flat piece of dough.

OR

BATTER

3 cups of Flour

1 cup milk

1 teaspoon salt

Put flour and milk in a bowl and whisk.  Add more milk until it gets to a good pancake batter like consistency.  Then add salt. Use a ladle, or pour into grease to fry!

**drop it like pancakes.**

When you get it the size you want it, cook it in your hot grease
until lightly brown and puffy, flipping as needed. This should take no longer
that 1 to 1.5 minutes.  Remove it from
the skillet and lay on a plate with paper towels to drain.

Make it for a break on the side of soup or pasta, a base for your tacos or salads, or even breakfast as Breakfast Tacos, cover with powdered sugar or butter & honey, or smother in Nutella, or top it with fruit & CoolWhip, or even my Peanut Butter Honey Spread!!! YUMMM!

Peanut Butter Honey Spread!!!

I mentioned this spread in my Biscotti post...because it is SO GOOD if you spread it on hot biscotti....it kind of melts and...let me show you again .....

 yes.

Personally I love to eat peanut butter mixed with honey…every day. With bananas, apples, toast, whatever. Its so good and easy…plus it is PROTEIN which is what you need to get through the day! Here is one of my favorite easy dips to eat with apples when I want to spice it up past caramel or Nutella.

SO here it is...now mind you, it will be as dark or light, or as creamy or as thin as you make it.  Add cinnamon, or some nuts, or whatever you feel will make it better! Let me know what you come up with!!!

Easy Peanut Butter Honey Spread or Fruit Dip!

1 cup plain greek yogurt (or normal yogurt works fine too! I just like the flavor of the greek better!)

1/2 cup peanut butter

1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

Honey to taste!

Blend or beat all the ingredients and 1/4 cup of honey in a mixing bowl until smooth.  Taste.  Add more honey as needed to make it as sweet as you need! Let sit for a minute or 2 to set. ENJOY!!! EASY!
