Images For Making Café Rio Taco Salad Recipe
Ingredients For Making Café Rio Taco Salad Recipe well. Refrigerate.
Cafe Rio Chicken
(not pictured: chicken breasts)
1 small bottle (8-oz.)
Kraft Zesty Italian Dressing
1 T
chili powder
1 T
cumin
3 cloves
garlic
minced
2 lbs
chicken breast
Cook all together in a crock pot for 4 hours, shred meat and cook 1 additional hour--this is what the instructions say. I cook my chicken in the crockpot with water and onion for 6-8 hours and then drain the water, shred the chicken with a fork, and add the dressing and spices about 1 hour before we're eating.
Caf Rio Rice
6 cups
water
6
chicken bouillon cubes
4 tsp.
garlic
minced
bunch
cilantro
1 can
green chiles
or equivalent fresh
tsp.
salt
1 Tbs.
butter
onion
3 cups
rice
(I like to use brown which takes longer to cook but is healthier)
I saute the dry rice and onion in the butter until it is just browned. Then blend cilantro, green chiles and the onion together in food processor (with 1 cup of the rice water for easier blending). Bring water to a boil and add all ingredients, simmer covered 30 minutes or 50 minutes if using brown rice.
The rest of the ingredients:
1-2 cans
black beans
, heated
Flour tortillas
Cheddar cheese,
shredded (for sprinkling on tortillas)
Shredded
lettuce
Brown both sides of the flour tortillas (we use whole wheat) on a lightly buttered griddle, sprinkling a little cheese to one of the sides after it is browned. It should be slightly crisp.
Serve with the crisp cheesy tortilla on the bottom, then layer the black beans, rice, lettuce, chicken, and dressing.
Enjoy!

Images For Making Pumpkin Muffins
Ingredients For Making Pumpkin Muffins are moistened. Don't overmix. It shouldn't be smooth. Divide the batter among the muffin cups and bake for 17 minutes. My oven runs pretty hot so they were perfect at 375 for 15 minutes.
You can add
1 c. chocolate chips
or
1 c. chopped walnuts or pecans
or anything else you think sounds good. I might try Craisins sometime.
Now, what to do with that leftover pumpkin? I decided to make pumpkin dip, or as Matt calls it "Pumpkin Frosting".
I think dip sounds healthier, so I'm going to stick with that. Here's what I did. I threw the following in a bowl: leftover pumpkin, 8 0z. package cream or neufchatel cheese, about 1 1/2 c. powdered sugar, 2 tsp. milk, 1/2 tsp. each cinnamon and nutmeg, and some vanilla that I poured in, can't tell how much :) Then I mixed it up. Very complicated. We've dipped apples, graham crackers, and surprisingly enough, Wheat Thins are delicious. Cuts the sweet a little. YUM!

Ingredients For Making Bread Bowl Recipe
1 Tbs.
yeast
1-1/2 cup
lukewarm water
(110-115 degrees)
1 tsp
. sugar
2 tsp.
salt
4-5 cups
flour
(I use 1/2 whole wheat and 1/2 white flour)
Directions:
Dissolve yeast in 1/2 cup lukewarm water. Combine in one large bowl the remainder of the water, sugar, salt, and yeast mixture. Add just enough flour until dough is stiff enough to handle. Knead well (in Kitchen-Aid of course). Cover and let rise for 1 hour (I'm usually in too big of a hurry, so I skip this step).
Then divide dough into 6-8 sections and form into round shape. Place on greased baking sheet sprinkled with cornmeal and allow to rise about 1/2 hour. Before baking, generously brush each bread bowl with an egg white mixed with 1 Tbs. warm water. Bake at 425 for about 20 minutes or until golden.
When they are finished baking, cut a shape off the top of each one (making a lid). Then scoop out the soft part with a spoon reserving it for dipping in the soup if desired.
Serve with your favorite creamy soup inside! Our favorites....
broccoli cheese soup
and
potato soup
!
Enjoy!

Images For Making Easy Taco Salad
Ingredients For Making Easy Taco Salad
1 lb.
ground turkey
(or beef)
1 to 1-1/2 packets of
taco seasoning
(depending on how spicy you like it)
1
onion
, diced
1 (15 oz.) can
black beans
1 bottle
Catalina dressing
(8 oz.)
Romaine lettuce
, chopped
Chips
of your choice (we like plain tortilla chips or Doritos)
Garnishments of your choice (we like
tomato, sour cream, grated cheese, and guacamole
)
Saute onion and brown meat. Then drain the meat, add 3/4 cup water, and taco seasoning (we usually use one and a half packages for more flavor). Simmer for about 5 minutes on low.
Then add beans and dressing to desired consistency. I usually end up using about 2/3 of a bottle rather than the whole thing.
Don't be afraid to taste test at this point. You may want to add a little more seasoning or dressing. Simmer all together for 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Now it's ready to serve any way you like it.
I like to layer it like this from the bottom up: Lettuce, chips, sauce, grated cheese, guacamole, sour cream, and tomatoes. Glen likes to start with his chips at the bottom...so feel free to be daring!
Enjoy!

Ingredients For Making Old-Time Beef Stew Recipe
1 lb. stew meat
1 Tbsp. oil
Brown in large pot, then add:
1 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp. garlic salt
1 large onion
, chopped
1 bay leaf
2 Tbsp. sal
t
2 tsp. sugar
1/2 tsp. paprika
1/4 tsp. pepper
Assorted chopped vegetables
(potatoes, carrots, green beans, broccoli)
4-6 cups water
Simmer all ingredients for about 1 hour, then add 2 packages brown gravy mix (with just enough water to mix them) (Mom usually just adds one gravy mix and it still turns out wonderfully:) Serve hot with breadsticks. Makes 4 servings.
(It made more like 6-8 servings for us [Lara's family]) .
Note: I (Lara) also added 1 cup of pearl barley and for the vegetables I used 4 potatoes, 1 sweet potato, 1 large onion, and a head of broccoli. It turned out a little too thick, so I added another cup or two of water and a bouillon cube for flavor.
The kids LOVED it!
Enjoy!
