Your gonna cook what?

My grandmother-in-law is an awesome woman. I adore her like you wouldn't believe. So the one day here and I were talking about cooking. How we both love to cook and we can make just about anything out of anything. I love walking into my kitchen looking in my cabinets and fridge and pulling out random ingredients and making a damn yummy meal. I am proud of my ability to turn anything into something that is editable. For five years I have been doing this. I mean I can cook from a recipe but it is a huge pain in my ass. Your always stopping to read what to do next. I like the freedom that winging it gives me. Only problem, the rest of my family is hesitant to try the new food. Why after 5 god damn years would you still be hesitant to try my food oh husband of mine. I have never served you something that tasted like crap in fact you ask me to remake these things over and over again. (course I can never make it the same way again cause you know no recipe)

So my wonderful grandmother-in-law told me she used to do the same thing and she would tell my grandfather-in-law that it was an old family recipe and he would eat it no questions asked. So I have started doing this and guess what... no questions asked. Now I get to wing it and they will eat it. When they ask me what it's called I wing it.

So with this new found freedom I have come up with some interesting concoxions the family fave seems to be "Mexican casserole surprise" this is one that I get asked to make repeatedly. There was one day I was going for chicken soup it turned out to be chicken and rice cause I added to much rice... but it was a hit. People I am telling you, you don't have to be a gourmet chef to make some banging meals for your family. You can turn anything into a good meal with a little spice a little of this and a little of that and a whole lotta love. *gag*

So I was told I should include an idea of what I mean by all this so you all can have the old family recipe of Mexican Casserole Surprise

Chicken
salsa con queso
Verde sauce
tortias
cheese
rice
black olives
sour cream
taco seasoning

preheat your oven to 375 so cook up the rice and dice and brown the chicken rip up the tortias and put them bitches down in a 9x13 pan I recommend a brownie like pan with the sides. Spice your chicken to taste then  take your rice and mix that to taste with salsa con queso and Verde sauce put that over your tortias and lay down your chicken your cheese your olives, tomatoes what ever taco crap you want on it though if you are going with lettuce save that till after it comes out of the oven. same with the sour cream. top with more ripped up tortias and then stick it in the oven until its heated through and the cheese is all melty pull it out slap on your lettece and sour cream and serve it up.


No notice there was no measurements and you can make it up anyway you want I just gave you the basics hope you enjoy it!
