I'm pretty sure about everyone has a recipe for taco dip, but since I'm making it tonight anyway I thought I would post mine. I'm also making brownies, but since they are coming out of a box I'll skip that recipe.
brown one pound ground beef with some onion
in a 1 qt. casserole dish stir together....
one can of tomatoes with green chilis (I use mild)
one can refried beans
one package taco seasoning
browned ground beef
top with one 8 oz. carton sour cream and a package of shredded cheddar
bake at 350 for about 25 - 30 min. or until the cheese is melted
Take out of oven, stir well and serve with white corn tortilla chips, or sometimes I use doritos.
Enjoy!

Dumplings
My mother in laws recipe for dumplings. I make them with chicken and they are so easy. I usually make 1 and a half recipes for a family.
3 Tablespoons shortening
1 & 1/2 cups all purpose flour
2 tsp. baking powder
3/4 tsp. salt
3/4 tsp. milk
Cut shortening into flour, baking powder and salt until mixture resembles fine crumbs. Stir in milk. Drop dough by spoonfuls onto hot meat or vegetables in boiling stew or broth. (try not to drop straight into boiling liquid.)
Cook uncovered 10 minutes
Cover and cook 10 minutes longer, stiring occasionally.
I usually add a can of Cream of Chicken soup for added flavor.

Chicken tetrazzini
My favorite chicken tetrazzini recipe. This is one dish I could always make and everyone in my house loved it. I don't make it as often now because my son is vegan and it was one of his favorite dishes....it seems cruel to make it when he is around.
Cook enough chicken (most people use chicken breasts) to make about 4 cups chopped chicken.
Cook a 16 oz. box of vermicelli, drain and toss with 1/2 cup of the chicken broth and set aside.
In a big bowl stir together the chicken, a can of cream of celery soup, a can of cream of mushroom soup, a can of cream of chicken soup (I didn't promise healthy recipes), an 8 oz. sour cream, a 6 oz jar of sliced mushrooms, 1/2 cup parmesan cheese, 1/2 tsp. salt and 1 tsp. pepper. Add the vermicelli and toss well.
Use one really large or 2 medium greased baking dishes (it makes a lot). Spread in pans and sprinkle the whole thing with 2 cups (yes, 2 cups) of shredded cheddar. Bake covered at 350 for 30 minutes, uncover and bake 5 more until cheese is melted and bubbly. Enjoy.

Not a recipe, but some recommendations....
Hi everyone! Welcome to the blog. Katy is so creative and she suggested we get together and create a blog. We love recipes and cooking and think it's fun to try new things. Katy is much more talented on the computer than I and probably just much more creative anyway. So, I'm excited to be able to work on something with her. It will be fun to learn new things with a dear friend.
However, before I post recipes, I just wanted to share some of my favorite cookbooks and cooking blogs.
First there is Pioneer Woman.
She just published her first cookbook and I got it for Christmas. It is full of delicious recipes plus full color photographs of step by step instructions for cooking each recipes. My family enjoys the recipes I make from her blog and cookbook.
I love freezer meal cooking too! It's so convenient to have something to toss in the crock pot or oven and go out to run errands and come home and the meal is ready to be served. This is the second book published in this series, and I don't own the first, but I do own this one. Don't Panic...More Dinner's in the Freezer.
I am and have always been a stay at home mom, so I'm always looking for ways to cut my food budget as a single income family. This book was meant for feeding a family of four for $75, but the tips for saving money on your food budget would be applicable for everyone. A bonus is that this book contains some great recipes too! Check out Mary Ostyn's new book: Family Feasts for $75 a Week.
Another blog I enjoy is Pam Anderson's blog with her two daughters. (No...not that Pam Anderson) She is a fantastic cook! Pam has written a whole series of cookbooks, but the one that I'm especially partial to is How to Cook Without a Book.
This is a book I will go through with my daughter, because I want her to be able to pull ingredients together and create her own recipes. (Something I'm just learning to do after 20+ years of marriage and cooking.) I love the introduction of this book. It's definately one that I think is worth buying.
I love to read cookbooks and cooking blogs. I do much of my cookbook purusing at the local library and amazon.com. I find that they are great resources for checking out a book, reading it, then deciding if it's worth adding to your own personal cookbook library.

Welcome
Welcome to our new recipe blog. Mary Ann (Jayne) Knipp and I, Katy (Jenkins) Myers hope to add our favorite recipes and get everyone else to add theirs. We all know how easy it is to get into a routine and fix the same things over and over. I hope with this blog we can all learn some new recipes and keep in touch with others who want to share recipes.
Remember that no recipe is too simple, or too hard. We all have things we make often but you never know when someone is looking for a new way to make the same thing.
Thanks for stopping by and hope to see you here often.
