This is a super yummy meal I got from a friend:
3 # bonless chicken (cut in pieces)
Garlic Salt, pepper & msg (sprinkle on chicken)
Roll in cornstarch.
Dip in egg mixture (2 eggs + 3 tsp Water).
Fry until golden.
Place in glass pan.
Cover with Sauce (1/2 cup Ketchup, 1/2 chicken boullion cube, 2 T Soysauce, dash of salt, 1/2 cup sugar, 1 cup vinegar)
Bake 350 for 1 hr turning chicken half way through. Eat the chicken with rice and use the sauce as a gravy. It is so good!

Relief Society Birthday Dinner Recipes
Here are a bunch of recipes that we had at our RS Birthday party. They are awesome. Hope that you all enjoy.
Awesome Bajio Style Chicken
5 chicken breasts
1/2 cup salsa1 Tbsp cumin1/2 cup brown sugar1 4oz can diced green chilies1-2 cloves garlic, minced6oz Sprite (1/2 can)
Combine all ingredients in a crock pot. Cook on low for 5-6 hours. Remove chicken and shred. Return to crock pot and cook 1 more hour. Serve with flour tortillas, lettuce, cheese, black beans, and whatever other taco fixin's your family likes.
Notes:-This chicken is not real spicy, so you could add some extra green chilies if you like your food with a little more kick.-It has a lot of juice, so serve it with a slotted spoon.
Better Than Cafe Rio Pork
3 pounds pork roast or boneless ribs1 cup brown sugar2 cups salsa
Combine all ingredients in crock pot and cook on low for 7 hours or high for 5. Remove meat and shred. Return to crock pot and cook for approximately 30-60 more minutes. Again, serve with all the taco fixin’s. (This would be great cooked in our new electric pressure cooker. It could be ready, from start to finish, in 1½ to 2 hours instead of all day).
Cafe Rio Salad Dressing
1 cup mayo 1 1/2-2 Tbsp. homemade dressing mix (you could use 1 packet of Hidden Valley Ranch mix)1 cup buttermilk1/3 of a bunch of cilantro with stems chopped off1/2 - 1 small jalapeno (if you don’t like it spicy, remove the seeds)1 tsp lime juice1-2 tomatillos (remove outer papery skin and cut up)1 garlic cloveBlend all ingredients in food processor or blender
Notes:-The recipe for the dressing mix is in the ward cookbook, it's Margie Pierce's recipe.-You can use 2-4 Tbsp of green salsa instead of the tomatillos and jalapeno’s (make sure 1st ingredient in the salsa is tomatillos.) It’s easier and cheaper!
Black Beans
(The seasonings in this recipe can easily be adjusted to your taste)
2 cups dry black beans (pick over and discard any broken or shriveled beans, rinse and drain)
7 cups liquid (water with 2 cups chicken broth, can use tomato juice instead of water)
2 TB dry onions (or maybe 1 fresh onion diced)
1 tsp. oregano
2 cloves garlic
1 tsp. cumin
1 tsp. basil or 2 bay leaves
1 tsp. pepper
¼ cup oil (To prevent beans from foaming)
Using electric pressure cooker select “Saute” and saute garlic and cumin in oil (if using fresh onions sauté them also). Add the rest of the ingredients to pressure cooker. Cook beans using High Pressure for 28–32 minutes. Let pressure cooker naturally release pressure (about 30 minutes). Stir in 1 tsp salt and top with 2 TB chopped cilantro (optional). Do not add salt before cooking as salt inhibits cooking. (Hint: cook beans in large batches (1 pound beans + 8 cups liquid + seasonings etc. to taste + oil) and freeze in 1 or 2 cups amounts to add to other dishes).
If using canned or bottled beans: Saute garlic and cumin in oil (sauté onion, if fresh). Add 2 cans or 1 quart drained beans and seasonings and one cup liquid (chicken broth and or tomato juice. Simmer until liquid cooks down. Put cilantro on top (optional).
Sweet Lime Rice
2 cups uncooked rice
1 tsp. butter
2 cloves garlic minced
1/2 tsp. lime zest
2 tsp. chicken bouillon
4 cups water
Bring above ingredients (except rice) just to a boil, then add rice and simmer until rice is done. In a small bowl mix:
1 TB lime juice
2 tsp. sugar
When sugar is dissolved add to rice mixture and stir until mixed. Top with cilantro.
Guacamole
3 large avocados, mashed with a fork 1-2 tsp fresh lime juice 1/4-1/2 tsp salt Dash of cumin (or to taste) 2 Tbsp finely diced or grated onion 2 small Roma tomatoes, seeded and diced 1 -2 Tbsp chopped cilantro 1 clove garlic, minced Small spoonful of mayonnaise Combine all ingredients and adjust seasonings to taste. Serve with tortilla chips.Notes: -To seed the tomatoes, cut off one end and squeeze the tomato over the sink. All the guts and seeds will squish right out. -Do not substitute Miracle Whip for the mayo. It would be better to just omit it.

Peanut Butter Bars
These are from a friend of mine. They are so good.
1 C. Pnut butter
1 C. margarine or butter
1 C. sugar
1 C. Brown sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp baking soda
2 C flour
1 tsp salt
2 C. oatmeal
1 tsp vanilla
Mix together and bake at 350 for 10 minutes in a jelly roll pan 18 x 12 ??
Cool completely and frost with
more P-nut butter and chocolate frosting.
Softening the peanut butter for frosting is helpful.
The chocolate and PB will mix together a little when frosting.
If you prefer they don't you can refrigerate the bars with peanut butter on it and then frost with the Choc. frosting.

Alfredo Sauce
I was looking for some Alfredo sauce that I could make because the store-bought stuff has garlic, and Kate doesn't do so well with it. I found this recipe that I kind of adapted a little. We had it for dinner last night with some fettuccine and parsley, and it was so good! Ashley absolutely loved it...of course, she's my pasta lovin' child, so that isn't too surprising. And, because it uses evaporated milk rather than heavy whipping cream, it is better for you than the average Alfredo Sauce.
1 stick butter
1 cup evaporated milk
1 cup Parmesan cheese
1/2 tsp salt
dash of pepper
Heat butter and evaporated milk in a skillet over medium heat, stirring frequently, until butter is melted and mixture starts to bubble. Reduce heat to low, simmer 6 minutes, stirring frequently, until slightly thickened. Remove from heat; stir in cheese, salt and pepper.

Seriously Easy - Don't know what to call it - Chicken with corn and black beans?
I didn't know what to make for dinner last night, so I just got out some stuff that I had and went with the flow . . .
Saute chopped onion in little olive oil
add diced chicken breast
season with some grilling seasoning salt, or favorite seasoning, to taste
add frozen corn kernels, about 2 cups
add can of black beans, drained
heat all through - I usually add water to the sauteing process instead of oil
add little mozzarella cheese (or whatever you have on hand) to make it all come together
Serve in soft taco size tortillas, or just plain.
I seriously was so good! So easy. What should we call it?
