Fajita Casserole

Chillin in the crib I was thinking about tacos. I was hungry because the day was crazy. I didn’t want to make traditional tacos. So I made a fajita casserole. I made the casserole so I didn’t have to eat it like a taco. I used the basics for making fajitas.  Pulled chicken, green peppers, flower tortias, chicken soup, chicken stock, taco seasoning mix, seasoning salt and black pepper. I started early at about 5 o’clock and I put the pulled chicken in the slow cooker. Then I later that night I made the rest of the food. It was fairly easy. The fajita bread I just cut up into little squares and placed in a baking pan then I put the chicken in a pan with the green peppers and chicken broth and chicken stock. I let that cook for a couple min. then I got the chicken peppers and broth into the baking pan over top the fajita bread and I sprinkled cheese all over the food and I let it bake for about 20 min and out came a fajita casserole. 

Broccoli Stuffed Baked Potatoes

This dish that I am about to talk about is Garden Stuffed Baked Potatoes.  This dish needs the basic salt, pepper, butter, oil, and onions (if you want that), russet potatoes frozen chopped broccoli and ranch salad dressing. This is a very simple but delicious dish to make. Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F. Bake for about 15min then slice the tops off the potatoes, scoop out the pulp, and keep the skin intact. Get a medium size bowl and mash the pulp in the bowl. Add broccoli and butter and a bit of salad dressing just to give it a little flavor. I usually brush the outside of the potatoes with oil. Then place the mash in the potatoes, place the potatoes on a baking sheet and bake for about 15min. Take the potatoes out add a little salt and pepper and then taste.  

Coca cola Chicken Wings

There are many ways to eat chicken. There are many ways to cook chicken. I have had many different flavors of chicken. This flavor I have never had but I will try it soon as I get the chance. Its Coca-Cola chicken wings. The way that they are made is crazy but it makes since. I also think that they are really different. Making the chicken wings are going to be fun and I will share pictures and let  you guys know how it tastes. I am thinking that i might make the wings with Dr Pepper soda. I think that the flavor might be a little better. I guess it will depend on what kind of soda you prefer.

What Are You Eating?

I am learning about the different ways to make food. I come across an article that really freaks me out. The article talks about the way chicken nuggets and hotdogs are made. Most people know that Hotdogs are made from trash and left overs. I am sure most people didn't know this. The images you see here are what chicken nuggets are made of. They take the left over eye balls and legs and stomach what ever is waste. They put it in a machine that grinds everything up and it comes out as a pink paste. Then the pink paste is grounded up to become thick and separated. If thats not disgusting enough this gets worse. The paste is filled with bacteria and germs so the company uses pneumonia to clean it. They cant sell it like that so they use artificial flavors to make it taste like chicken nuggets.  The nuggets are still pink though so they use artificial coloring to make the nuggets look like chicken nuggets. This is crazy but people eat them everyday. Im not sure if people will stop after seeing this but I sure hope they do.

Mac and Cheese

Ok today I had to try and make Mac and Cheese. This is a milestone for me because I love Mac and Cheese. I can eat it every day and with any meal. Every body has there own way of making Mac and Cheese. I like mine to be a little crispy around the edges and really cheesy with a hint of sweet taste. Yea I know, it sounds weird the sweet taste but it is good when it has that sweet little flavor. So I got a little instruction from my aunt on how to make it. I will add my own ingredients to make it taste the way I want it to taste. The basic ingredients are macaroni noodles, butter, your preference of milk, your preference of cheese and a baking pan. To start I boil the noodles for about 7 min. I don’t ant them super soft because then the Mac and Cheese tastes over done. I like to use the blocks of Sharp Coby Jack Cheese. It is a mix of white and orange cheese. I use 2 blocks; I shred one and place it in the bottom of the pan. Then I add the noodles and the butter. Most people use a spoon to mix I like to use my hands because it makes the ingredients mix smoother. Then I add the milk and the rest of the cheese and a little more butter. Then once everything is mixed I put a coat of sugar on it. Yes, sugar, it gives the hint of sweet flavor. Try it before you knock it. You should set the oven to about 350 and let the Mac and Cheese bake for about 25 min or until the edges get light brown. Let it cool after and serve.  

Fun Pops

I have this crazy Idea to make a freeze pop. I think the idea is great but my cousin said, it can’t be done. I wanted to make a freeze pop out of candy. So my first thoughts were, “what candy should I use?” I thought long and hard about chocolate favorites like Reese Cups, Snickers, M&M’s. Then I also thought about Skittles, Blow Pops and Sweet Tarts. So now I must see if it is possible to make them into a freeze pop. I get these ice trays from Path-mark (Food Market) their long and they are made for freeze pops.  First I get all the candy and instead of crushing them up I put them into the individual cups in the tray. So the Reese Cups and Snickers are on a freeze pop and the M&M’s and Sweet Tarts are on a freeze pop. The last few were made with the Skittles and Blow Pops. Also the Blow Pops I toke off the stick before putting them into the trays. I pored water on all the candy and I put them into the freezer. I went and worked on some homework and when I returned I had freeze pops but they didn’t look as good as I expected. Of course I tried them anyway and they were so good. The only one I had a problem with was the Blow Pops I forgot they had gum in the middle. So it didn’t turn out to good it takes a long time to finish.
