Chicken Enchiladas
Meat from 1 chicken or 1-1/2 lbs chicken breasts, cooked
16 oz sour cream
4 oz can diced green chiles
1 lb grated cheese
2 cans cream of mushroom soup
chopped green onions
1 can mild green enchilada sauce
12 soft flour tortillas
sweet rice (recipe follows)
Put meat, sour cream, chiles, one can soup, and onions in mixer. Mix until chicken is shredded and everything is mixed. If you don't want to use your mixer, you can shred chicken yourself and mix in a bowl, I just like to take the easy way.
On tortilla, layer sweet rice, chicken mixture and cheese. Roll tortilla and place seam side down in greased 9x13 pan. After pan is filled, pour enchilada sauce over all, cover with second can of soup, and top with cheese. Bake at 350 for 50 minutes, or until hot and bubbly.
Sweet Rice
One can chicken broth
1/2 can sweetened condensed milk
2 cups instant rice
Bring all to a boil, cook over low until liquid is absorbed.
Everyone loves this, even picky pants dd will eat it!

To make this more diet friendly, sub fat free sour cream, fat free cheese and healthy request cream of mushroom soup. I also use La Tortilla Factory Low Carb Whole Wheat tortillas.

I would count this as your dinner entrée for NS

The sweetened condensed milk makes the rice add about 200 calories, so I would just skip that, but it depends on your allowance for the day I suppose. I haven't looked for low fat sweetened condensed milk to even see if it existed. This is super good even without the rice though

Creamy, Vanilla Buttermilk Syrup
Tonight was breakfast for dinner. Pancakes and eggs, but the highlight is the syrup. I do not claim that this is Magelbey's syrup recipe, but it sure tastes like it. My family won't use any other syrup any more, this is so rich and creamy.
1 stick butter
1 c sugar
1 c buttermilk
1/4 c corn syrup
Mix in a medium size sauce pan, mixture will expand to fill the pan. Bring to a full boil, let boil 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat, add 1/2 t baking soda, 1 T vanilla, stir well. Let cool slightly, serve over pancakes, French toast, wherever you like your syrup. Enjoy!

Ultimate Chocolate Cake
This is the best chocolate cake I have ever had, and I am admittedly a chocolate snob. It is rich, but not so rich you can't eat it. It is moist and flavorful. I could honestly eat the whole cake, it's that good! I kind of fool myself into thinking it's sort of healthy because there's no oil, but it is still cake!
1 package devils food cake mix
1 large package instant chocolate pudding mix
1 c sour cream
1/2 c water
1 c chocolate chips
1/2 c applesauce
4 eggs
Combine all ingredients, pour into greased bundt pan. Bake at 350 for 45-50 minutes. Cool 10 minutes, then remove to wire rack to cool completely. Sprinkle with powdered sugar.

Spider Chicken Sandwiches
We call these Spider Sandwiches, because we eat them around Halloween, and also because the shredded chicken looks like spider legs.
1/2 onion
1/2 bell pepper
2 cloves garlic
1 cup ketchup
1 cup brown sugar
2 dashes worchestershire sauce
1 cup water
Mix all in blender until liquefied. Great way to disguise the green stuff! Pour into large sauce pan, add shredded meat from one chicken, I use a rotisserie chicken. At 4.99 from Costco, they are a staple at our house. Mix and let simmer until sauce thickens (2-3 hrs, or thicken with ultra gel if you are impatient like me!), adding water if necessary. Serve on hard rolls.
