Movie review:


Letters to Juliet

We both liked it, but the drive-in and dead battery experience made us miss out on the last ten or fifteen minutes! At least it makes for a good story, right?!

Freezer Meal Recipe:

Chicken Sonora:

3 lbs. chicken breasts, baked and chunked
1 doz. flour tortillas, torn in quarters
1/2 lb. Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
1/2 lb. cheddar, shredded

Sauce:
1/2 cup taco sauce
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1 can cream of chicken soup
1 can chili without beans
1/2 c. milk
1 sm. can chopped green chili peppers
1 sm. onion, chopped


Mix all sauce ingredients together. These ingredients will give you a bit more than you need. Use your best judgment when building this casserole so that it doesn't overfill your pan. Layer in 9x12 inch ungreased pan: 1/2 the chicken, 1/2 the tortillas, 1/2 the sauce and 1/2 of each cheese. Repeat layers. Cover with plastic wrap, then foil, and label. On baking day thaw. bake at 350 for 40-60 minutes until it bubbles.


This recipe came from the Dining with Donny cookbook. It's a must have for all Donny Osmond die-hard fans, because, really, who cares what the recipes are like if there are pictures of Donny (and his family) in it! I have made quite a few recipes from this cookbook, and have received mixed reviews on them. This particular recipe was rated high with the family.
