    Tonight it will be crock pot Mexican Chicken served over rice and topped with 4-Blend Mexican Shredded Cheese.

    If y'all want it:
    2 Lg. jars Picante Sauce
    2 cans Cream of Chicken soup
    2 pkg. Ranch Dip--1 pkg. Taco Seasoning
    1 Vidalia onion (shaved)
    4 lbs. Boneless/Skinless Chicken Breasts
    1 bag 4-Blend Mexican Shredded Cheese

    Mix all ingredients into crock pot except Chicken and Cheese. Set on High and stir well.
    Add Chicken (whole pieces).
    Cook on High for 3 hours, stir every hour.
    Turn down to Low and simmer remainder of day. In later stages chicken will shred up as you stir mixture.

    Serve over rice topped with shredded cheese.
    Enjoy.

    Ice cold longneck Pacificos tonight with this dish.:)

    Tonight is leftover escarole soup with a lemon and garlic pasta side. It has gotta be fast in order to make it to the men's basketball game in time.

    My Dutch oven is very old and cast iron. It was my MIL's but it is way too heavy for her to use so she gave it to me. I love it.

    We bought my eldest boy a Dutch oven for his first solo living arrangement. It is not as nice as a Lodge enamel one, but pretty nice for the price. There was exposed cast iron on the rims so I seasoned the rims before letting it loose on him. I like his apartment (a unit in a quad-plex) mostly because it has a gas range. I have always hated cooking on electric stove tops.

    Last two enormous 2" thick rib-eyes from Christmas are defrosted and coming up to room temperature. It was cold today so I don't mind firing up the oven for some oven baked potatoes. Salad course, of course.

    My wife wanted the steaks cooked a bit more that medium rare last night: think of between medium rare and medium. Even though the steaks were thick I managed to pull it off. Just more time on low heat with lots of flipping before the high heat finishing.

    Q-ing a mess of chicken legs for dinner tonight finished with Pat's Ho-Made BBQ sauce (thanks for cluing me in on that, 74nole).

    Also cooking mustard greens.

    got a request this afternoon from my much better half for pecan chicken and mashed redskin taters, being of relatively sound mind, I complied.

    Tonight had to be quick and simple: clam linguine. Saute garlic (two big cloves) in olive oil, add one can of minced clams without juice and one can of minced clams with juice, add a bunch of flat leaf parsley leaves (no stems) that are chopped fine. Add to that a pound of linguine al dente to cook for and extra minute or two.

    I added two tablespoons of butter to the mix for a bit more depth to the flavor.

    Added freshly grated Parmesan cheese to taste.

    No leftovers. LOL.
