Jasmine made enchiladas (named after Adam because he was the first to make this recipe). Unfortunately she didn't like them. That happens. She is a rice, noodle person. She could live on ramen.Adam's Enchiladas
1 lb boneless chicken breasts cubed
10 ¾ oz can cream of chicken soup
1 c thick and chunky salsa
8 flour tortillas (6")
10 ¾ oz can condensed cheddar cheese soup
Cook chicken in skillet until browned. Add chicken soup (no water added) and 1/2c salsa. Heat through. Spoon about 1/3c chicken mixture down one side of each tortillas. Roll up and place seam-side down in 2 qt microwave-safe baking dish. Mix cheese soup (no water added) and remaining salsa. Pour over tortillas. Microwave on high 5 minutes or until hot. Serves 4.
Jessica made stir fry. There are no pictures of her because Rick was on his way home with Adam and the twins from taking Tyler back to college, and his timing belt went out. I had to go rescue them and wasn't here to take pictures at that point. I took the picture of her stirring the chicken and she took the rest of the pictures.
The problem was that it took me over half an hour to pick up Rick and the kids and a half hour to get back so the stir fry was over done and had been sitting a while. I think it would be good fresh. I bought Jessica a stir fry pan and she is going to try it again. She wants to add a lot more seasoning than it called for because it was a bit bland.
Stir Fry
4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
3 tbs cornstarch
2 tbs soy sauce
½ tsp ground ginger
¼ tsp garlic powder
3 tbs oil, divided
2 cups broccoli florets
1 cup sliced celery (1/2" pieces)
1 cup thinly sliced carrots
1 small onion cut into wedges
1 cup water
1 tsp chicken bouillon granules
Cut chicken into ½" strips, place in resealable bag. Add cornstarch and toss to coat. Combine soy sauce. Ginger and garlic powder, add to bag and shake well. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
In large skillet or wok, heat 2 tbs oil; stir fry chicken until no longer pink. Remove and keep warm. Add remaining oil; stir fry broccoli, celery, carrots and onion for 3-5 minutes or until crisp tender. Add water and bouillon. Return chicken to pan. Cook and stir until thickened and bubbly.

Adam loves brussel sprouts!But he did not like the macaroni and cheese. He dislikes mayo, yet chose a recipe with a large amount of it. Go figure. It was good although not a favorite.

4 cups ziti 1 cup mayonnaise
1 ½ tsp salt 2 tbs vegetable oil
¾ c evaporated milk 2 tbs ketchup
½ large onion minced 1 cup plus 1 tbs grated cheese

Pour into 8x8 pan and sprinkle with tbs grated cheese. Bake 50 minutes or until top is golden brown. Allow to cool 15 minutes before serving.

I need to learn to stir fry better- my veggies always get soggy.
I haven't tried a mac and cheese recipe with mayo in it- did the rest of you like it? Or was it too rich?
Hers were soggy too due to the long wait. I think you aren't suppose to cook them very long at all. I did get her a stir fry frying pan to try it again.
I didn't have much of the mac & cheese because I'm lactose intolerant but I think it was pretty good. I wouldn't want it very often but of course everyone here likes different things and the twins eat about anything.
