Green chili chicken and dumplings

A family favorite!! We buy several jars of the mix whenever we can find it, because it isn't local to us. We usually find it at HEB when we go to Texas.

I never alter this recipe, so here is the  link! 

Leave out the biscuits or make your own low carb dumplings if you want low carb.

Braunschweiger Pate

My sister-in-law gave me this recipe years ago. I just looked it up in  y e-mail and am parking it here for future reference. 

Ingredients:

·         8 oz. liverwurst or braunschweiger

·         8 oz. cream cheese, softened

·         2 small green onions, minced

·         1.5 tablespoons dried onions (or 1 tablespoon fresh onion, finely minced)

·         ¾ teaspoon dried dill weed

·         1/4 -1/2 teaspoon garlic granules (or one small garlic clove, minced)

·         Ground pepper (to taste)

·         1-2 tablespoons capers (to taste)

Instructions:

·         Thoroughly blend together all ingredients except capers.

·         Fold in capers, reserving a few for garnish.

·         Cover mixture and allow it to rest in the refrigerator for several hours before serving.

·         Garnish as desired.

·         Serve with Melba toast, crackers, or sliced baguettes (I use pork rinds or sliced cucumber or celery, when eating low carb)

Serves 6-8 as an appetizer.

Pesto Cream Sauce

A yummy combination of alfredo and pesto sauce. Great with pork or chicken! I dipped my steamed broccoli in it - MMMmm!!

If you don't want to use the flour, you can thicken with cornstarch (use half the amount called for flour) or simply replace the milk with cream.

1/4 cup pesto sauce
2 T butter
2 T flour
2 cups milk
1/2 cup parmesan cheese

Heat pesto sauce in a medium saucepan.
Add butter and stir until melted.
Add flour and stir until thick. (If using cornstarch, see note)
Stir in milk or cream. Simmer and stir until thickened. Stir in cheese.

Serve with your choice of meat and/or pasta!

***Note: If using cornstarch, add it at the end - mix with 1 T of water and add to bubbling sauce. Stir until thickened.
