Chili con Queso Dip

I love love love this recipe. This is another family tradition. My Mom acquired this recipe from a restaurant that was located in Houston, TX when I was a kid. My parents where good friends with the owners and were there all the time. When the restaurant went out of business, the owners gave my Mom the recipe as a parting gift for my parent’s patronage...

Family Tradition Taco's Meat

This is a staple in our home. Tacos are such a favorite of everyone's. I grew up with my mom making this recipe, and just love it!! I think it’s better than most restaurants. You can spice it up or cool it down easy enough by adjusting which type of Rotel you use. I use the mild Rotel but whatever works for you! Ingredients: 2 pounds ground beef (90/10) 1 medium...

Pumpkin Spice Muffins

I would have loved to feature the entire pan of these muffins, but I was doing good to get them out of the oven before my family snarfed them all down. This is a wonderful recipe, and the smell is devine! I made these last night, and they are all gone today. Thank you so much for this recipe Jmelyn. If you would like to have your recipe featured please email me at colie@colieskitchen.com along...

White Chicken Chili with PAZAZZ

My original intention was to make the Bush's recipe. After looking it over I decided it didn't have enough "pazazz"! This recipe on the other hand is loaded with pazazz and fantastic!

Roasted Garbanzo Beans/Chickpeas

This is a really interesting recipe. I had never had Garbanzo Beans/Chickpeas in my life until tonight. Roasting them turns them into a nice healthy crunchy snack. I would compare them to a corn nut. Not as good as a corn nut, but still a very good healthy snack. Be sure to watch them really well the last 20mins because they tend to get done quickly. Some of mine got...

This was a good recipe, but nothing special. I was expecting them to be a lot lighter and fluffier than they were. I have made much better Bread Machine Dinner Rolls than these. I would recommend these first: Sweet Dinner Rolls Makes 18 rolls Ingredients:3/4 cup milk, warmed 6 tablespoons soft butter 1 egg, beaten 3 cups bread flour 1/4 cup sugar 1 teaspoon salt 1 1/2...

Zesty Guacamole

This is one of the many dips I made for New Year's Eve this year. This is an excellent recipe. Thank you Sue for sharing! I love guacamole! It’s simply delicious and creamy. I especially love to slather it on a ham and cheese wrap! Remember Avocado is a good and healthy fat! Ingredients: 2 avocados 1 lime, juiced 2 medium tomatoes, chopped 1 ...

Creamy Potatoes and Carrots

Stirring constantly,...

This chicken is just WONDERFUL!! I don't like chicken wings because you don't get enough meat on them. I feel that eating them is a waste of my time. With that being said, I use boneless chicken tenders or boneless chicken breast pieces. This recipe reminds me of Korean BBQ! The flavor is excellent!! Be very careful not to overcook the chicken it's...
