How to Freeze Homemade Waffles

If you want to double or triple the batter to make the Waffles of Insane Greatness, they are easy to freeze. After the waffles are cooked, set them on a cooling rack (not directly on a plate) to cool completely. Once cooled completely, lay the waffles on a baking sheet and place them in the freezer to freeze (about 2 hours). After the waffles have frozen, store them in freezer-safe containers, separated by parchment paper, for up to three months.  When ready to enjoy the frozen waffles, pop them in a toaster oven to warm them up. You can also bake them in the oven for about 5 minutes at 425°F. Baking times may need to be adjusted depending on the thickness of your waffles.

Easy "Custard" for Cupcakes or Pie

To make a custard topping for cupcakes, use the following recipe: 

1 cake mix (made to directions).  Let cool.  

Mix the following:

4 oz cream cheese-room temperature, whip with mixer

1/4-1/2 of a small container Cool Whip-mix with cream cheese

1 3oz instant vanilla pudding mix-add 1 cup milk and stir

Combine cream cheese/Cool Whip mixture to pudding mixture

Might need to add 1/4-1/2 C powdered sugar if it needs to be a little sweeter (I had ran out of Cool Whip, so the powdered sugar helped with that....it might have been ok if I had had more Cool Whip to add).  

Mixture should be thick.  Put a dollop on top of a cooled cupcake and top with a frozen berry.  These were a huge hit!

Kelli's Smores Dip

 

Kelli brought this to my husband's 40th bday bbq.  It was so yummy!  

Mix in baking dish:

1 12 oz bag Hershey's Semi-Sweet chocolate chips

1 12 oz bag Nestles dark chocolate morsels, 53% cacao 

Place 1 bag mini marshmallows on top.

Bake in 450 degree oven for 10-12 minutes.  Check oven at 10 minutes to be sure marshmallows don't burn.  

Serve with graham crackers.  

Symona's Enchalada Sauce & Spanish Rice

Put about 4 1/2 cups of water onto stove in a medium sized pot.  Turn heat to high to boil water.  

De-seed the dried peppers.  In a another bigger frying pan, toast the peppers, letting each side get dark.  Flip to other side and repeat.  

3 Ancho Peppers

4 New Mexico Peppers

3 Chile de Arbol peppers

Put toasted peppers into a big bowl.  Pour hot water on top of peppers to re-hydrate.  Should be about 4 cups of water poured into big bowl.  Let sit for 20ish minutes.  

In the same bigger frying pan that you used to cook the peppers, saute 1 medium onion in a few TBSP of vegetable oil.  After a few minutes of cooking the onion, add a few cloves of garlic.  Don't add the garlic too early or else it will burn.  Saute together until onions are translucent and cooked.  

Put the cooked onions and garlic into large blender.  Add the rehydrated peppers and 4 cups of hot water the peppers were re-hydrating in.  

Add 1 tsp salt

Add 1 cap full of distilled vinegar

Blend mixture for a minute or two to get enchilada sauce.  

*to make Spanish rice, use 3 parts chicken broth and 1 part enchilada sauce.  For example, 1 1/2 C chicken broth, 1/2 c enchilada sauce, then add the 1 cup rice and cook 20 minutes.   

Green Chili Chicken Enchiladas

 

CREAMY GREEN CHILE CHICKEN ENCHILADAS

YIELD:  6 SERVINGS

 

PREP TIME:  25 MINUTES

 

COOK TIME:  35 MINUTES

TOTAL TIME:  1 HOUR

INGREDIENTS

FILLING:

•  3 cups cooked, chopped chicken (a rotisserie chicken works great here or this simple method for quick, cooked shredded chicken)
•  2 cans (4-ounces each) green chiles, lightly drained (see note)
•  1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, light or 
• regular, softened and cubed
•  1 can (15-ounces) white or black beans, rinsed and drained (you can really use any type of bean you prefer here or leave them out)
•  1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
•  1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

SAUCE:

•  2 tablespoons butter
•  1/2 cup chopped onion (about 1/2 medium onion)
•  2 tablespoons flour
•  1/3 cup low-sodium chicken broth
•  1/4 cup milk
•  1/4 teaspoon salt
•  1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 1 cup (8 ounces) green chile enchilada sauce (or salsa verde) - homemade version here
•  1/2 cup sour cream, light or regular

ASSEMBLY:

•  8 ounces (about 2 cups) Monterey jack cheese, shredded
•  8 medium (soft taco size) flour or corn tortillas
•  Handful of chopped fresh cilantro for garnish

• INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Lightly grease a 9X13-inch baking pan and set aside.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and green chiles. Mix well. Add the chicken, beans, cilantro and lime juice. Mix to combine. Set aside.
  3. For the sauce: in a large nonstick skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion softens and starts to turn translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Sprinkle the flour over the onions and stir well. Cook for 1 minute, stirring. Slowly whisk in the chicken broth and milk. As you whisk and the mixture cooks, the flour will get less lumpy around the onions and the mixture will become smooth. Cook over medium heat until the mixture is bubbling and has thickened, about 2-3 minutes. Add the salt and pepper. Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the enchilada sauce and sour cream.
  4. Lightly grease a 9X13-inch baking dish. Spread 1/4 cup of the sauce in a thin layer on the bottom of the dish. Fill each tortilla with about 1/2 cup of the chicken/cream cheese filling. Top with a small handful of shredded cheese, a couple tablespoonfuls for each enchilada. Save at least 1/2 cup cheese for the top of the enchiladas.
  5. Roll the tortillas up and place seam side down in the prepared baking dish. Continue filling enchiladas until the dish is full (I get about 8 enchiladas for this recipe; the exact number will depend on the size of tortillas).
  6. Pour the white sauce over the top of the enchiladas and spread evenly. Top with remaining cheese. Bake for 20-30 minutes until the enchiladas are bubbling, hot and lightly browned. Sprinkle fresh cilantro over the top and serve.

  NOTES

  Green Chiles: you can sub out the green chiles completely and use storebought or homemade green enchilada sauce or salsa verde. Use about 2/3 to 3/4 cup of sauce in place of the green chiles in the filling. 

  Sauce: I wouldn't classify these enchiladas as being overly saucy (because I'm ethically opposed to soggy tortillas); if you like things on the saucier side, consider doubling the sauce. 

  Make Ahead: follow the recipe instructions, letting the sauce cool to warm room temperature before proceeding with filling the enchiladas. Assemble the enchiladas as directed in the recipe with the cooled sauce. Cover the baking pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 8-12 hours before baking. Bake according to the recipe, adding an additional 5-10 minutes if needed since the enchiladas were refrigerated. Alternately, after assembling, the baking pan can be covered with a double layer of foil and put in a jumbo-sized resealable bag and frozen for up to two months. Bake from frozen by decreasing the baking temperature to 350 degrees F and baking the enchiladas covered for 1 1/2 hours. Uncover and bake an additional 30 minutes to 1 hour until the dish is hot and bubbly.
