It's Thursday


Almost every Thursday I post a recipe or two. These are usually on Slow Cooking Thursday hosted by Sandra at Diary of a SAHM, but she is visiting family in Africa this month. For several weeks this month Megan from Fried Okra has hosted a recipe exchange on Thursday so that continued the theme. This week I don't think there is anyone so I decided to just share a few recipes that are family favorites. Hope you like them too!

This is an easy recipe and the sauce tastes like what you get when you order a wet burrito in a restaurant.
Wet Burritos
1 pound hamburg, browned and drained
1 pkg burrito seasoning
1 can refried beans
1 pkg (8) flour tortillas
8 ounces shredded cheddar cheese
lettuce, tomatoes
Sauce
1/2 of burrito mix
8 ounce tomato sauce
1 jar brown gravy
1/2 cup water
.
Stir beans and 1/2 of burrito mix into browned hamburg. In separate pan heat all of sauce ingredients. Fill tortillas with meat, lettuce and tomatoes to taste. Wrap and place folded side down. Top with sauce and cheese. Bake at 350 degrees until cheese is melted, about 20 minutes.

This recipe came from a cook at the Nursing home where I work. Everyone always loved her chicken so I got the recipe and named it after her. She passed away a couple of years ago and it's nice to think of her when I make this.
Roxanne's Chicken
1/2 cup cornflake crumbs
1/2 cup flour
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic
1 teaspoon oregano
1 teaspoon basil
1/2 teaspoon rosemary
sprinkle of accent
.
Mix all ingredients in a plastic bag. Take desired pieces of boneless, skinless chicken breast and trim fat from them. (I cut them in half if they are large) Place pieces, one at a time in bag and cover in coating. Place on greased cookie sheet and bake @ 375 degrees for 35 minutes.

Works for me Wednesday

If you are anything like me, when you need towels you watch for a sale and buy a few. The problem I have found with that is the quality of the towels. They don't seem to last long. It seems it doesn't take many washings before they start to fray and lose their fluffiness. The last time I got towels I tried something new. I got them from an online store called the American Chair Store. It happens to be based in my town and I know the owners are honest and reputable.
These towels have held up very well and remain soft and fresh smelling after many washings. Another thing I got from them were flour sack towels. These are great for cleaning. I especially like to use them for mirrors and glass. They don't leave lint on the glass like paper towels or the other old towels I used to use. So - if you are in the market for towels, I recommend that you check out the web site for The American Chair Store. They have great products and great customer service. For other tips, visit Shannon at Rocks in my Dryer.
