Servings

Original Recipe Yield10
enchiladas
Ingredients
1/3 cup honey
1 tablespoon chili powder
1/3 cup lime juice
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 pound shredded, cooked chicken
2 cups green enchilada sauce, divided
6 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese, divided
10 (8 inch) flour tortillas
1 cup fat free half-and-half
Directions
Whisk together the honey, chili powder, lime juice, and minced garlic in a large glass or ceramic
bowl. Add the shredded cooked chicken and toss to evenly coat. Cover the bowl
with plastic wrap, and marinate in the refrigerator for at least a half hour.
Remove the shredded chicken from the marinade, and shake off excess. Save the
used marinade.

1. Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175
degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish, and spread 1/2 cup of
enchilada sauce over the bottom.
2. Combine marinated shredded chicken with 5 cups of shredded Cheddar cheese in a bowl. Mix lightly. Spoon about 3/4 cup of the chicken-cheese mixture down the center of each tortilla. Roll tortillas and place seam-side down in the prepared baking dish.
3. In a bowl, whisk together remaining
enchilada sauce, fat-free half-and-half, and remaining marinade. Pour sauce
over enchiladas and sprinkle top with 1 cup of shredded Cheddar cheese.
4. Bake in preheated oven until the cheese
has melted and the top is brown, about 30 minutes

Oatmeal Cookie Fudge Bars

I found this recipe on pinterest. Here is the link

Ingredients:

(Cookie Layers) 
  • 1 C. salted butter (softened)
  • 2 C. packed brown sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla
  • 2 1/2 C. flour
  • 3 C. old fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
(Fudge Layer)
  • 14 oz. can sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 C. semi sweet chocolate chips
  • 2 Tbsp. salted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
Directions:
  1. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.  
  2. In a separate bowl (or in an electric mixer), mix together butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy.  Then, one at a time, add in the eggs, then the vanilla.
  3. Slowly add in your flour mixture.  I usually add 1/4 of the mixture in at a time.  Once thoroughly combined, add in the oats.  
  4. Set aside 2 C. of the cookie dough mixture for topping.  Fill the bottom of a greased 9 x 13" pan with the rest of the cookie dough.
  5. For the fudge layer, mix together the sweetened condensed milk, chocolate chips, butter, and vanilla in a small saucepan.  Over low heat, stir continuously until the chocolate is just melted and the ingredients are mixed together completely.  Be sure to keep stirring and watch the chocolate to make sure it is not burning!
  6. Once melted, pour the fudge over the cookie dough in the pan.  Take the dough you set aside and drop small pieces of it evenly across the top of the fudge layer. Do not smooth out the top layer. 
  7. Bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes or until the top layer is starting to brown.  
  8. Out of the oven, leave them out on the counter to set for a couple of hours, then transfer them to the fridge.  After hardening completely, they can be stored at room temperature, but I preferred them straight out of the fridge! 
Note: I just put them in the fridge right out of the oven to stiffen them more quickly
