Cheese Muffins

I found this recipe via The Pioneer Woman Cooks. They are best when hot, so I heated up the leftovers today in the microwave for dinner. They remind me of the Magleby's cheese rolls. Yum!

Fig’s Cheese Muffins

1 1/2 cups flour
1 1/2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 cups shredded colby-jack cheese
1 cup milk
1 egg
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) melted butter (I used salted)

Whisk together dry ingredients, then stir in cheese.

In a separate bowl, whisk egg, milk, and butter together. Pour milk mixture into dry ingredients and stir with a spoon to combine.

Bake in greased muffin tins at 375 degrees for 20-25 minutes.

Makes 12.

Ritz Chicken

So this is a family recipe...hence no measurements. But it's a real crowd pleaser so I thought I'd share it with my extended "family:)"

1 Dinner Sized Plate of Boneless, Skinless Chicken Tenders
1 bottle Sweet or Honey French Dressing (T. Marzettis or Litehouse is best)
1 Regular sized Bag Mozerella Cheese
1 "tube" Ritz Crackers

Pour the dressing into a zip-lock baggie; put the chicken in there and roll it around to coat it well with the dressing. Smash up the crackers and cover the bottom of a pan. Next add a layer of cheese. Put the chicken on top of that, then more cheese, and then top with crushed crackers.

Bake at 350 for 30-45 minutes (until the chicken is done and the juices are bubbly).

I like it with peas and white rice:)

Let me know if this doesn't make sense and I'll see if I can expand the recipe.
