Sponge Bob Chicken

This recipe came from my sis-in-law who at the time had a love for Sponge Bob so I'm pretty sure that's where it got its name from. Super easy and super quick!

3-4 chicken breasts
1-2 zucchinis cut into rounds
1 cup cheddar cheese
1 can cream of mush soup
1/2 c sour cream
1/4 c milk

Put chicken in a square baking dish. Sprinkle with garlic salt. Place zucchini rounds over chicken and sprinkle with seasoning salt. Sprinkle cheese over zucchini. Mix soup, sour cream, and milk and then spread over the cheese. Garnish the top with a little more cheese. Bake in the oven at 350 for about 20-25 mins depending on the thickness of your chicken. We like to eat this over mashed potatoes that have been seasoned with garlic salt. So yummy!
I often put it together during nap time and refrigerate until 30 min before dinner.

Well I finally figured out how to get that taste. Let the sauce simmer as long as you can!

1 pint of Heavy Cream 1 stick of butter 2 Tbsp. Cream Cheese 1/2 - 3/4 C. Parmesan cheese 1 tsp. Garlic powder
Methods/steps
In a saucepan combine butter, heavy cream, and cream cheese. Simmer this until all is melted, and mixed well. Add the Parmesan cheese and Garlic powder. Simmer this for 15 - 20 minutes on low. You may wish to season with a little salt and pepper. I have done this with half and half, but we prefer the heavy cream. But I wouldn't try it with plain milk.

Cafe Rio Sweet Pork

Now, nothing can quite be like the original, but this comes pretty close...

3 - lbs pork loin
1- 7oz can chilis in Adobo Sauce (you have to get the adobo sauce ones because you only want the sauce, not the chilis- sometimes you might only find the 12 oz cans)
1 1/2 cans coke (the real stuff- no knock offs or diet)
1 cup sugar
1 heaping teaspoon each ground mustard and ground cumin
1 tsp minced garlic

Put everything in a blender (except for the pork of course). Pick the chilis out of the can of adobo sauce because they will make it way too spicy. Make sure to get as much of the sauce as you can. Whip it up for a minute or two, them pour it over the pork in a crock pot. Cook on low for 7-9 hours. Pull it apart with a fork. We put it over chips with pinto beans, cheese, guacamole, salsa, and sour cream for some fabulous nachos. You can also make burritos or salads. Yummm!
