BBQ Chicken Sandwiches

I make bbq chicken sandwiches a lot (just cook chicken in the crockpot with bbq sauce on top). But they've always just been "just ok" to me. I saw this recipe and it sounded SO GOOD. I made it yesterday and it did not disappoint. The red onion and cilantro on top really made it so yummy (I know some might disagree). It would probably be good with any BBQ sauce, but I did use the Trader Joe's brand as she suggests (yay for no high fructose corn syrup like Sweet Baby Ray's and most other bbq sauces). I can't wait to eat the leftovers!

HERE is the recipe. This is Amber (Jensen) Doxey's cooking blog.

Peanut Butter Truffle Brownies

Amy & I made these last night. They were pretty good with some vanilla ice cream...I'd have to say I'm enjoying them even more today...so good! This picture is from Betty Crocker's website.

Peanut Butter Puffs

I tried this new recipe out today and they are tasty, easy, and don't require using the oven!

1/4 C honey
2 packed tablespoons brown sugar
1/4 C creamy peanut butter
1 3/4 C rice crispy cereal (or rice chex to make it gluten free!)

In a sauce pan over medium heat, combine honey and brown sugar. Stir until the brown sugar is dissolved and mixture starts to boil. Remove from heat. Stir in peanut butter until smooth. Stir in rice crispies. Let cool until not too hot to handle (about 5 minutes). Spoon heaping tablespoons onto a cookie sheet. With damp hands, form into balls. Refrigerate until set. For cute display, place balls in mini muffin cups.

"Guiltless" Alfredo Sauce

I made THIS alfredo sauce the other night and it turned out yummy! I even made it with fat-free cream cheese and fat-free milk (instead of just reduced fat). It was even better when I added pesto to the leftover sauce!

Enchiladas

I tried a new enchilada recipe yesterday. They turned out yummy(actually a little spicier than I'd anticipated)!

Ingredients
1 lb cooked and shredded chicken
1 1/2 - 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1 big can of green enchilada sauce
1 lime
1/4 cup cut-up cilantro
2 garlic cloves
6 medium flour tortillas

Directions
First, combine the chicken, half the can of sauce, and half of the cheese in a bowl. Then add cilantro, minced-up garlic, and lime juice to taste. And I squeezed in the whole lime.
Next put this filling in each tortilla, roll, then place in 9x13 baking pan, with the seams of each roll facing down. Now, pour the remaining sauce and sprinkle remaining cheese over the whole pan evenly.
Bake at 350 for 20 minutes.
