Ro*tel Chicken Tostitos Casserole

I let my husband cook this one, seeing how this is his specialty. We used to call it Chicken Doritos Casserole, but there aren't actually any Doritos in it so I'm changing the name to Ro*tel Chicken Tostitos Casserole.  Since I took a break from cooking, I did the dishes.  Dish washing kills my hands, so today I tried something new.  I coated my hands in my favorite hand lotion (Bliss hand cream) and covered them with my leopard dish washing gloves.  The heat from the water really helps your hands to soak in the lotion.  My hands felt so soft afterwards.         

                                                  

As for the food....

Ingredients:

3 chicken breasts                                                     

2 cans of ro*tel
4 cans Cream of Chicken
16 oz Cheddar Cheese, grated
1/2 cup of milk
1 bag of Tostios tortilla chips

Add chicken to sauce and stir.
Layer chips, chicken mixture, cheese and then repeat.
Cook for 20 minutes on 325 degrees.  Let cool for 10 minutes before serving.

Asian Flank Steak

  Asian steak sounded a little odd to me at first.  It took me years to love Asian food.  I'm not sure what my aversion to it was, but now I love it.  This was a nice twist on an ordinary steak.  I found a great website called Charcoal Bob that lets you enter the type and thickness of meat you are grilling and will tell you the desired time to cook. Unfortunately it didn't work for ours because we have an Infrared Cooker but if you have a charcoal or gas grill this would be a really helpful website.

1/2 cup Sherry

1/4 cup Honey
2 Tablespoons Sesame Oil

2 Tablespoons Ground Ginger

2 Tablespoons (3-5 cloves) Minced Garlic

1 teaspoon Crushed Red Pepper Flakes

2 Flat Iron Steaks

1/2 cup Soy Sauce

Whisk all ingredients (except steak of course) in a bowl.

Place the steaks and marinade in a Ziploc bag and chill in the refrigerator for 3-6 hours.

Grill steaks on high heat for 4 minutes on each side for medium rare steaks.

Allow steaks to rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
