M.O.M.'s Recipes and a Contest!
For my 17th Christmas, the last one at home before I went to college, my mother gave me one of the best Christmas presents I have ever received. She gave me a recipe box full of recipes from when I was growing up. Many were recipes I had tasted, some were ones she thought I would like but she had not yet made. I have referred to that box often. I now have a 21 year old stepson who enjoys cooking. So I decided to type all of my mother's recipes and ones I have collected over the years and put them in my computer. There are 460 recipes so far! I then saved these to a disk so I could send it to Bruce and to some others on my list.
As I typed these recipes in, I started making some dishes I hadn't made or had in a while. And they were all so yummy. I have shared some of them here on this blog.
I love getting new recipes. I am not the creative cook my mom is. She started cooking when she was 10 and there wasn't a cookbook in the house, so she made a lot of things up on her own and she still does that. But I enjoy trying new things and sharing recipes with others.
Since I am always looking for ways to help bring in some income, I thought perhaps I could offer these CD's for a small price. The price includes a CD envelope for the CD and shipping. If you would like to have access to 460 recipes (some of which go back 50 years or more) and help a SAHM make some extra income, feel free to click the link below.

So for the contest...I will give away one free recipe CD. All you have to do to get a chance to win is share your favorite summer recipe with me in a comment. That's easy enough, right? I will pick a winner at random on July 31st! So go ahead and get typing! I look forward to trying your favorite summer time dish!
This one is easy. Chicken Salad Wrap. I marinated the chicken in some olive oil and garlic powder, then grilled. Chopped it up and mixed it with some chopped onions and celery. Mixed in a little bit of ranch dressing and then mayo to coat. Put it on a tortilla with lettuce and feta and whatever other veggies I have. YUMMY!!

Combine 1 1/2 cups cooked rice, 1/2 cup diced celery, 1/4 cup chopped green pepper, 1/3 cup chopped onion, add some chopped leftover cooked chicken. Blend 1/2 cup lite sour cream with 1/2 tblsp lemon juice, 1 tblsp chili powder, 1 tsp seasoned salt, 1 tsp garlic salt, 1/4 tsp cumin, 1/4 tsp oregano and stir this into rice mixture. Serve chilled.
Garnish this with chopped tomatoes and a dollop of sour cream. Serve on a plate with tortilla chips and salsa.
This recipe's seasonings can also be changed to any flavors you like. Try experimenting with it. Blessings.
