Cheese Nib Chicken

Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts
Cheese Nibs
Butter

Fully dip chicken in melted butter. Coat in crushed cheese nibs. Place in casserole dish and bake for 1 hour at 350 degrees.

This recipe is so yummy and easy. I have used other cheddar crackers too and they work great. I didn't have any cheese nibs one time but I did have some Pepperidge Farm parmesan flavored goldfish crackers. They were just as yummy.

Refried Bean Burritos

1 can refried beans
grated cheddar cheese
soft flour tortilla shells

I start with buttering the outside of my shell. Spread a heaping spoonful of refried beans on one half of the shell. (Put as much beans or as little as you like). Sprinkle cheese over the beans. Fold shell over. Toast the burrito in a frypan on both sides. I like to use my sandwich maker also to toast them. It cuts them into triangles which makes them easier for the kids to eat. I also like to put hot sauce in Jim and I's before I toast them. Quick and easy. We usually serve these with Spanish rice.

This recipe was shared with me from my sister Suzanne.She made them for my family one night and they have been a favorite ever since.

This is another family favorite. I got this recipe from my mom. Many of you know what a great cook she is. Any recipe that comes from her is scrumptious. I usually serve this recipe with some kind of potato and a veggie.
