Chocolate Morsel Pie

My daughter brought home this yummy pie that she learned to make at Activity Days! It was so good and the recipe looks really easy. She is excited to make it for us for Family Home Evening treat! It's kind of like Pecan Pie, only with Chocolate...

Mix in a bowl:
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup flour
1/2 cup melted butter
2 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla extract

Fold in:
1 cup chopped pecans (they were pretty big pieces, not finely chopped)
1 cup chocolate chips

Pour into an uncooked pie shell and bake at 375 degrees for 40 minutes.

Southwest Burritos

Here's a recipe I learned in a food storage class:

flour tortillas

1 can diced tomatoes with green chilis
1 can diced potatoes, drained
1 can black beans, rinsed, drained
1 can whole kernel corn, drained
1 can kidney beans, rinsed, drained

Mix the contents of the cans in a skillet over medium-high heat until heated through. Serve in tortillas.

I actually diced half an onion, browned it in the skillet and then added the contents of the cans. I added some cumin and sprinkled pepper. You could add chili pepper too. I added some chopped bell pepper for color. You could serve this with sour cream or salsa... whatever you like. It's great rolled in tortillas or scooped up with big crunchy corn chips. Feeds a small army. Pretty good!

Green Drink Smoothie

Green Drink Smoothie (Jennifer Porter's request :)
The ingredients are approximate-- you can't mess this one up. Apple or orange juice also works if you're low on Pineapple juice. I rarely measure, I just throw it in and it always tastes great. More spinach and it will be a little bitter. More banana and/or pineapple and it will be sweeter.

1 Cup or more Fresh Spinach
1 or 2 Ripe Bananas
1 Cup or more canned Pineapple
1 cup or more pineapple juice (I just drain it from the can)
1 cup or more ice

Blend until smooth and bright green!! Kids love it!

Chicken Parmesan Quesadillas

breaded chicken tenders, cooked and cut into chunks
spagetti sauce or your preference
mozarella cheese
tortilla shells
butter

Butter one shell, place in pan. Put chicken, sauce and cheese then top with another shell and butter it. Flip cook until cheese is melted. Yummy, found this recently on some product box and we tried it last night.
