Chicken Cordon Bleu

Chicken Cordon Bleu - Renae Burke - This is my mission president's wife. My mission president passed away while serving as president. She put together a nice book and this recipe was in it. She gave me a copy of her book for my wedding.

4 whole chicken breasts, halved
8 thin slices cooked ham
4 slices Swiss Cheese
thyme or rosemary
salt
pepper
¼ c. melted butter
½ c. corn flakes
Cordon Bleu Sauce
1 can cream of chicken soup
½ c. sour cream
Juice of 1 lemon or 1/8 c. lemon juice

Skin & bone chicken. Place between plastic wrap & pound thin. Cut Swiss cheese into fingers about 1½" long & ½" thick. On each ham slice place a finger of cheese. Sprinkle lightly with seasonings. Roll ham & cheese, then roll each chicken breast with ham roll inside. Tuck in ends & seal well. Dip each roll in melted butter, then roll in corn flake crumbs to coat. Place rolls in 9x13" baking pan & bake 40 min at 400. Serve w/Cordon Bleu Sauce. Blend sauce ingredients & heat. Serve over chicken rolls. I've changed the entire recipe to be a casserole because I don't want to spend the time on each individually. Here's what I do: I pound chicken and put it in the bottom of a casserole dish, top it with Ham and cheese. We skip the ham, because I don't eat red meat. Then sprinkle thyme, salt & pepper on it. I mix the Cordon Bleu Sauce and layer that next. To finish, I crunch up the corn flakes and put the butter on it. The rest is the same. It's very fattening but it tastes good. Clark loves it.

Pancake Mix

Pancake Mix–Carma Crippen

10 c all-purpose flour
2½ c instant non-fat milk
½ c sugar
¼ c baking powder
2 T salt

Combine all ingredients. Use within 6-8 months. For chicken pot pie and for pancakes: use 1 cup mix, 1 egg, and ½ cup milk. Pour mix on top of vegetables, chicken & cream of chicken soup mix. For pancakes, put desired size of mix for the size of pancakes you want. Makes 13c. This is my mom's recipe. For Chicken Pot Pie, if you don't want to put this entire mix together to get 1 cup of mix, here is the breakdown: 3/4 cup all-purpose flour or whole wheat flour, 3 Tbsp instant non-fat milk (powdered milk), 2 tsp. sugar, 1 tsp. baking powder, 1/2 tsp. salt. This should add up to one cup. Anyway, hope you like it. Denice Bench

I got this recipe from those little cards they use to hand out. I changed this to a food storage meal. Instead of frozen mixed vegies, I use 1 can of veg-all, I make my own bisquick baking mix with wheat-I'll post that too, but it makes a ton of pancakes, so, I'll figure out the ratio for this recipe. Also, I use powdered milk and powdered egg. We've used it so much that it is no longer fun for us anymore. See ya Denice Bench

Taco Bake

Taco Bake – from Donna Bastian to Denice Bench

1 lb. turkey burger or ground beef, browned
Vegetarian: Use 2 large potatoes, cubed, fried
1 can tomato soup or Enchilada Sauce
1 can green chilies (if you use Enchilada Sauce green chilies aren't necessary)
1 c Cheddar Cheese, divided
1 c Salsa
½ c milk
6 Flour Tortillas or 8 Corn Tortillas, cut in minute pieces

In skillet on med. High Heat, cook beef until browned. Stirring to separate meat. Pour off the fat. Add soup, salsa, milk, tortillas and half the cheese. Spoon into a shallow 2 quart baking dish. Cover. Bake 400*F for 30 min. until hot. Sprinkle with remaining cheese. I got this recipe from my grandma and I really like it, but I didn’t have any tortillas. So I used: ½ cup corn meal, ¼+4 tsp. water, ¼ tsp. salt. I just mixed it and plopped it all in. I was surprised it worked good. Changing this recipe allows me to rotate corn meal better. I think this is a good food storage recipe.

Pasta with Sweet Potatoes and Leeks

I cannot take credit for this recipe. I found it in a magazine (Real Simple) but it's tasty just the same.

12 oz multigrain penne
4 tsp olive oil
3 leeks (white and light green parts), cut into half-moons
3 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
1/4 cup fresh sage, chopped
2 small sweet potatoes peeled and cut into 1/2 inch pieces
Kosher salt & pepper
3/4 cup grated parmesan
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg

Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain, reserving 1/2 cup of the cooking water.

Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the leeks and cook, stirring, until they begin to soften, 4 minutes. Stir in the garlic, and sage and cook 2 minutes. Add the sweet potato, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp pepper and cook, covered, stirring twice, until just tender, 6-8 minutes.

Stir in 1/2 cup of the parmesan and the rserved cooking water and simmer, stirring, until the potatoes are fully tender, 2 to 4 minutes.

Add the cooked pasta and nutmeg and toss.

Divide among bowl and sprinkle with remaining permesan.

The Best Cinnamon Rolls Ever!

We found this recipe and loved it! We like it because we can put all the ingredients in the night before in our bread machine and in the morning just roll it out.  It is very "giving" of the frosting...which we don't complain about!  The only thing that we thought was too much was the cinnamon in the filling.  It calls for 5 TBSP but we like 5 tsp, better.   Enjoy!
