Mom's Chicken Enchiladas

This was my all time favorite recipe growing up. When I left home, I realized it is a pretty common one. But that just means I get to eat it more often, so that's fine by me!


2-4 chicken breasts boiled or baked and shredded
1 can cream of chicken soup
1 small can diced green chilis
8 oz sour cream
milk (to thin sauce as needed)
12 tortillas
grated cheese
olives

Mix together soup, chilis, sour cream, and milk to make sauce.

Roll chicken, sauce, and cheese in tortillas and place in 9x13" pan. Cover with remaining sauce and cheese.

Bake for 30 minutes at 350.

Oriental Salad

This is a salad my mom often made for events like baby showers. It is a nice light salad and a great addition to any meal!


Salad:

1/2 head white cabbage
1/2 head purple cabbage
6 green onions (chopped)
3/4 C (or more) slivered almonds
8 Tbsp sesame seeds
2 pkgs Top Ramen Noodles

Put cabbage and onions in a ziploc bag. Brown almonds and sesame seeds in pan (no oil). Put in ziploc. Crunch up Top Ramen and add to ziploc.

Dressing:

4 Tbsp sugar
1 tap salt
1/2 Tbsp rice vinegar
1 tsp pepper
1/2 C salad oil

Keep dressing separate from salad until ready to serve. Mix. Enjoy!

Mandarin Orange Salad

This is a Thanksgiving Tradition that my mom makes every year. I don't care for the coconut, but I LOVE tradition! Something I learned from my mom growing up, is how good sour cream is with different kinds of sugar! It makes a great dip, or, in this case, a "dressing".

2 small cans mandarin oranges (drained)
2 cans (20oz) pineapple chunks (drained)
1/2 C coconut
1/2 - 3/4 pkg mini marshmallows
16 oz sour cream
1/2 C powdered sugar

Mix together all ingredients and chill until served.
