Chicken Alfredo Wraps
I found the recipe to this on Pinterest and I decided why not!? I will make this with Whisk Bliss Original and with the Pizza & Pasta Seasoning. In the original recipe it calls for 1/2c. butter, cream cheese and heavy whipping cream. UGH!!! To much fat and too many calories. Remember Whisk Bliss is only 135 calories for 1 c. prepared and we have no saturated fats or trans fats.
You will need:
9 lasagna noodles
2 ½ cups Alfredo sauce (make with Whisk Bliss Original or Gluten Free see directions below)
2 cups cooked, shredded chicken
1 T. Pizza & Pasta Seasoning (If you don't have any you can mix 1/2 c. Parmesan Cheese instead, oregano,& garlic salt)
3 cups shredded Mozzarella, or cheese of your choice
2 ½ cups Alfredo sauce (make with Whisk Bliss Original or Gluten Free see directions below)
2 cups cooked, shredded chicken
1 T. Pizza & Pasta Seasoning (If you don't have any you can mix 1/2 c. Parmesan Cheese instead, oregano,& garlic salt)
3 cups shredded Mozzarella, or cheese of your choice
Directions:
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Cook your noodles until al dente. While your noodles are cooking. Take out your Whisk Bliss Original or Gluten Free and measure out 2/3 c. of it. Put it into a sauce pan. Mix the Whisk Bliss with 2 and 2/3 water. Bring it to a simmer and simmer for about 5 minutes. Measure out about 1 T. Pizza & Pasta Seasoning or add more to your liking. Pull out your noodles and rinse them in cold water, so they don't stick. Then lay them flat on some paper towels and pat them dry. Put about 1 T. or so of the Alfredo sauce onto the middle of the noodle then place the chicken and cheese on top. Be careful it will be hot! Wrap the noodle up and place it in your 8 x 8 pan. Do this with all of your noodles. Once you have the pan full use the rest of the sauce and pour it over all of the noodles. Sprinkle the top with more cheese and place in the oven for 20 to 30 minutes.
After all was said and done, my husband did the head bob which tells me that it was a winning recipe. Yeah!!!!
This can also be a Gluten Free recipe!!

Hawaiian Haystacks
These were so good. I had to have more! My husband even said this recipe was a keeper! Enough said in my house.
Here are the things that you will need. You may decide that you want other ingredients on your haystacks and that's all good with me.
2/3 c. water
1/2 t. Shirley J's Chicken Bouillon
cheese (My cheese looks different because I added 2 different cheeses)
rice
1 cooked, cubed chicken breast
dried cranberries
crushed pineapple
green onions
tomatoes
Chow Mein noodles
Directions:
Put the Whisk Bliss and the water in a sauce pan. Heat it up until is simmers. Put your bouillon and cooked chicken in the sauce. You can make the sauce thicker or thinner depending on how you like it by just adding more water. Cook your rice. Layer everything in your bowl, starting with rice. Next add the chicken gravy, then put whatever else you want on your haystack.
I got this recipe off of pinterest here. This recipe called for butter and sour cream. That was just too much fat and calories for me.
Also, I saw all of those ingredients and I just didn't want to spend all the extra money on them. I didn't know when the next time I would use Ranch Dip seasoning again and so that added up to money wasted in my house. That is where Whisk Bliss Original saved me money and time. I made the gravy in less than 5 minutes! I only needed 3 ingredients! Plus! My sauce was only 135 calories (before I added chicken and bouillon)!!!
This recipe served 4.

Chicken Fried Steak with Country Gravy
Ingredients:
- 1 tsp Shirley J Onion Seasoning
- 4 ea 6 Oz. Beef Cubed Steaks
- 2 c. Flour
- 1 tsp Black Pepper
- 3/4 tsp Salt
- 1 1/2 c. Buttermilk
- 1 Eggs

Gravy
- 1 c. Shirley J Whisk Bliss Original

- 1/2 tsp Cracked Black Pepper
Directions:
Pound the steaks to about ¼-inch thickness. Place flour in a shallow bowl. In a separate shallow bowl combine the pepper, salt, garlic, buttermilk, egg, and Tabasco Sauce. Dredge each steak first in the flour, then in the batter, and again in the flour. Pat the flour onto the surface of each steak so they are completely coated with dry flour.
Heat the shortening in a deep cast-iron skillet to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Fry the steaks until evenly golden brown (3-5 minutes per side). Place fried steaks on a plate with paper towels to drain.
Meanwhile, in medium saucepan combine water and Whisk Bliss Original, whisking until blended. Heat to slow boil, reduce heat, and simmer for 5 minutes. Add desired amount of pepper. Serve over steaks and whipped potatoes.
