Repeat Dinner

We are starting to repeat dinners now for two reasons:
1. We are running out of ideas of what to cook, and
2. We want to use all of our ingredients that we have bought

So last night we made something we have made before: Spinach tortellini with homemade breadsticks. I'm not gonna lie, our breadsticks are goooood. I mean really good.

Taquitos

Yet another recipe from Our Best Bites. We made Baked Creamy Chicken Taquitos. These are good for dinner, or you can freeze them and have them for a snack. We served them with Spanish Rice. We were going to make homemade spanish rice, but we ended up just making it from the package.

Hawaiian Haystacks

Last week we made Hawaiian Haystacks for the first time. I got this recipe off of a favorite blog of mine -- Iheartnaptime.net.

*This is not actually a picture of our food -- it was taken from iheartnaptime.blogspot.com

Hawaiian Haystacks:

-1 pound chicken
-2 cans cream chicken
-1 cup of milk
-1/2 cup of sour cream
-1/2 teaspoon Lawry's salt
-salt and pepper to taste

Combine all of the above ingredients and pour over chicken in crockpot. Cook on high for 4 to 6 hours. When it's done, shred it, and serve over rice. Top it with tomatoes (I just used canned diced ones because I didn't have any fresh), coconut, pineapple, cheese, chow mein Chinese noodles, and sliced almonds. So yummy!
