Best Mashed Potatoes Ever!!

I've never been great at making mashed potatoes. I'm always looking to try new recipes to see if I can find a good go-to mashed potatoes recipe. My search has ended! These mashed potatoes were easy, creamy, and delicious! Definitely a must try!

1 1/2 lbs peeled potatoes, cut into 1-inch pieces
3 oz reduced-fat cream cheese
2 TB butter
1/2 ts garlic salt
1/4 ts pepper
1/4 c milk

Boil potatoes in lightly salted water for 15 minutes until tender. Drain; add remaining ingredients. Beat on medium-high with mixe until smooth. Serves 4.

No Meat Enchiladas

This is one of our favorites! It has a yummy, healthy taste with a little bit of a kick. It is really pretty easy too. I wish I could take credit for the recipe, but I borrowed it from my good friend Amanda Grimmer who served this for dinner when we were over one Sunday night.

• 1 c. instant rice
• 1 c. water
• 1 can black beans not drained
• 1 can corn drained
• 1 chopped tomato
• 1 green pepper diced
• 1 bottle of salsa
• shredded cheese
• About 10 tortillas

Combine rice and water. Microwave for 5 minutes. Add black beans, corn, green peppers, and tomato to rice mixture. Pour half of salsa on bottom of 9x13 pan to cover. Fill tortillas with mixture, roll, and put in pan. Repeat until pan is full. Pour rest of salsa on top of the rolled tortillas. Top with lots of grated cheese. Bake at 350 degrees for 17-20 minutes until warm through and cheese is melted. Enjoy!

Chicken Divan

This has been my favorite dinner for as long as I can remember. I would always ask for this meal on my birthday every year, and now that I'm the one doing the cooking, I love it because it is easy and delicious! This is definitely a regular on our menu.

Chicken, cooked and diced
Broccoli, steamed
Sauce:
2 cans cream of chicken soup
1 cup mayonnaise ( I usually do half mayo and half sour cream b/c I don't like that strong of a mayo flavor)
1/2 tsp curry powder
1 T lemon juice
1 cup cheddar cheese, grated

In 9x13 in. pan, layer chicken and broccoli. Pour sauce over. Bake at 350 for 20-25 min.
Serve over cooked rice.

Tried the Zucchini Casserole--Success!

Tonight, I made the Italian Zucchini Casserole that Carlin posted awhile back. It was great! I haven't had zucchini a lot and I'm no fan of vegetables, but it was REALLY good. I halfed it thinking it was going to be too much for me and Trapper, but I think I should've just made the full amount 'cause I was only able to have one helping. I had to save enough for Trapper to take to lunch tomorrow. Anyway, it was even a great hit with Jackson! He ate it and enjoyed it! That definitely got points with me. Next time though, I'll probably add some olives and even some chicken just to give it a little more substance. And some garlic bread too. That would've made it perfect!
