Mother’s Day Basket!

Tamona is back with another fun and easy craft a Mother’s Day Basket!

Today’s craft is making a simple basket for the special people in your life. With Mother’s Day around the corner, this is a great time to put your creativity to work.

If you need a little time narrowing it down (because women are just great in general) check out the bath basket I made for my Aunt Tena and Cousin Carmela!

My Friend, Tamona and I have come up with a brilliant plan! Smile

Y’all know I don’t cook much and that’s why Susan does my Tuesdays Tasty Tidbits. Well, so I thought about adding crafts, too – but, the only thing is I don’t craft, either!

You might be, at this point, asking what do I do?! lol I find deals for y’all!! Smile That’s what I do!

So, anyway…Tamona is going to do Make Something Mondays for us here!

A great friend of mine asked that I post the recipe for Chicken and Dorito Casserole. Please do NOT call this King Ranch Casserole because I have respect for the recipe but this is NOT King Ranch! My mother makes her Chicken and Dorito Casserole this way but I do know many people who use Velveeta (LORD help’em)!

You will need a whole chicken and

1. Boil a whole chicken (please season the bird or the water) and pull all of the meat off the bone.

2. Dice and saute bell pepper and onions (1 onion and 1 bell pepper) in a separate sauce pan.

3. Add 2 cans of cream of mushroom soup and 2 cans of Rotel or diced tomatoes with chiles and heat for 10-15 minutes.

4. Layer your casserole starting with the Doritos first.

Now add chicken

Add cheeses! You can be creative with this step. Originally we always used American sliced cheese.

Now I dress it up a bit and toy with different cheeses. This time I am using Pepper Jack!

Add the sauce.

REPEAT all steps until you fill the casserole dish.

Normally, this would have been the last step but my mom always topped this casserole with crumbled Doritos. I add a little bit of crumbled cheese myself!

Bake the casserole for 20 minutes in the oven at 350 degrees!

Serve with refried beans, Spanish fried rice, or maybe . . .

Marshmallow Fondant!

My Friend, Tamona and I have come up with a brilliant plan! Smile

How To Make Marshmallow Fondant

Spring screams cleaning, re-decorating, out with the old, in with the new, gardening, and outdoor fun. Some of that outdoor fun includes beautiful picnics and LOTS of cake. I see tons of parties this time of year and I love how beautiful everything looks. You will love today’s Make Something Monday project because today we are making our own marshmallow fondant! Some people say that marshmallow fondant is much tastier but since I don’t like fondant at all, I would not be a good judge. My daughter likes marshmallow fondant but thinks regular fondant tastes like cardboard with flavor added!

You will need:
1/4 cup of Crisco
16 ounces mini Marshmallows
4 tablespoons of water
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract or 1 1/2 teaspoon of imitation vanilla
8 cups of powdered sugar (2lbs of powdered sugar)

Watch me make it so you can see exactly how this is actually made!
