Recipe time!

If there is one thing about staying home I love, it's cooking. I love eating food, thinking about food, watching shows about food, everything about food.


When searching for new recipes, I tend to use my "All Recipe" app on my iPad. You can sort recipes by what you have on had, and it has loads of options (what ethnicity, 86 some things, and what mode of cooking you plan to do). I also find recipes on Kraft.com a lot. This isn't for those really looking to watch the waist though, as one would assume, all of their recipes contain one of their products. 


One of Scott and my favorite heavy, hearty, rich meals is the "Chicken with Creamy Corn and Potatoes" recipe 
The link to this recipe is: http://www.kraftrecipes.com/recipes/chicken-creamy-corn-potatoes-90081.aspx


For those of you like me, some recipes can be simplified A LOT. Listed below is how I altered the recipe to fit my needs. 


The recipe is as follows:

1/2 cup Homemade Italian Dressing

4 small  boneless skinless chicken breast halves (1 lb.)

1 lb. Red Potatoes, quatered

1 small  onion, chopped1 and 1/2 can mexicorn

1 cup chicken broth1 can  (15-1/4 oz.) corn, drained

4 oz.  (1/2 of 8-oz. pkg.) PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese, cubed (or your local cheapo brand) 
That way, you've cut your ingredients list almost in half, and you've saved a few bucks too. 
This is also my Italian dressing recipe. The seasoning mix makes more than you need, so I keep the extras in a baggy so whenever I need the dressing, I just whip up a batch. It also makes a great Christmas present!Recipe: http://allrecipes.com/recipe/italian-dressing-mix/detail.aspx
