A few Smittle Recipes

So, I've had a few requests for recipes, so I figured the easiest way to get them out was to put them here and let the people come to me!=)

Chicken con Queso
3-4 Chicken breasts skinned and de-boned
2lbs. Velveeta cheese
1 can Cheddar cheese soup
1 can rotel(we always put it through the food processor so it won't be chunky)
Tortilla chips for dipping

Sear chicken until golden brown(usually use a little olive oil, salt, and garlic).
While chicken is cooking cut Velveeta into chunks and place in a microwave-safe bowl.
Add in Cheddar cheese soup.
Pour rotel over cheese mixture.
Microwave, stirring every two minutes until mixture is smooth and creamy.
Cut chicken into pieces or strips.
Fold chicken into mixture.
Serve warm with tortilla chips.

I usually also serve my homemade salsa with it, SO.

Homemade Salsa

I LOVE tilapia. We've grilled it and baked it, but this is my favorite. It can also be cooked in a zip-N-steam bag in a mater of minutes. I would recommend the Glad brand, as food doesn't seem to dry out as much with those. AND they're bigger. The following recipe is for oven baking, but you can mostly follow this with the bags as well.

Easy Baked Tilapia
3t butter
4-4oz tilapia
1/4 cavender's seasoning
1/4t garlic salt
1/2t garlic(can just increase garlic salt if you don't keep garlic)
1 lemon(you can also just use lemon juice. this is what we usually do. Esp with the bags)
1/2 small pkg broccoli
1/2 small pkg cauliflower
Salt and pepper to taste.

Preheat oven to 375
Grease dish(we always just use low fat butter)
Place Tilapia in dish and dot with butter.
Season with Cavender's and garlic.
Top each piece with lemon slices.
Arrange frozen veg. around and season.
Cover and bake for 25-30 minutes.
Serve with white rice.
