  2. I love cooking! My recipe blog is pamscooking.blogspot.com! Super easy and yummy one is Fiesta Chicken! We had Mona's Taco's last night. But, one of my favorite staples is Beef and Broccoli.

    1 pound top round beef steak
    1/4 c soy sauce
    2 Tbsp sugar
    1/4 c apple juice
    2 Tbsp cornstarch
    1 cup water
    2 c fresh broccoli
    4 Tbsp oil
    2-3 cloves garlic
    2 tsp sesame oil

    Cut beef steak into thin strips, set aside. Combine soy sauce, sugar, water, juice, and cornstarch in small bowl and set aside. In large skillet stir fry broccoli with 2 Tbsp oil for about 2-3 minutes. Do not overcook. Set broccoli aside in a dish. Pour remaining oil into skillet and add beef steak and cook until well browned on all sides. Add garlic and cook until fragrant but not more than 1 min. Pour soy sauce mixture over meat and cook until slightly thickened. Stir in sesame oil. Remove from heat. Stir in broccoli serve over rice.


    Tonight I am making another one of our favorites. Honey Lime Chicken Enchiladas

    6 tablespoons honey
    5 tablespoons lime juice (1 large lime)
    1 tablespoons chili powder
    1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

    1 pound chicken, cooked and shredded (I use 2-3 chicken breasts)
    8-10 flour tortillas
    1 pound monterey jack and Colby Jack cheese, mixed and shredded
    1 1/2 - 16 ounces cans green enchilada sauce
    1 1/4 cup heavy cream

    Mix the first four ingredients and toss with shredded chicken. Let it marinate for at least 1/2 hour (I tossed mine together in a Ziploc bag in the morning and let it sit in the refrigerator all night). Pour about 1/2 cup enchilada sauce with 1/4 cup heavy cream on the bottom of a 9X13 baking pan. Fill flour tortillas with chicken and shredded cheese and drip about 1 tablespoon of the mixed sauce (green enchilada sauce and heavy cream) and roll. Fill pan with rolled enchiladas. Save about 1-2 cups of cheese to sprinkle on top of enchiladas. Mix the remaining enchilada sauce with the remaining cream. Pour sauce on top of the enchiladas and sprinkle with leftover cheese. Bake at 350 degrees for about 25 minutes.
