My husband began making this Mexican cornbread on the weekends after working in GA all week. There was a man at his work that would make this regularly. Tony went on and on about how good it was. After finally retreiving the recipe he made it for us. It quickly became a regular at our house! Now, everybody has there own limits to the HOT jalepenos so adjust accordingly! The original recipe that he brought home said a half jar (YIKES) but we usually cut that down to 2-3 tbsp. It is moist and delicious!
4 eggs
1 1/2 cups milk
3/4 cup vegetable oil
2 cups self rising corn meal

It became known as the "Every Nighter"! It was even put into a small cookbook compiled by the teen girls of our church. So that's the story behind this brownie recipe..

Awesome Chicken & Rice
Welcome to my recipe box! I will start off with the recipe that I fixed for my family last night. I think it is a keeper since my husband ate too much and ended up with a tummy ache! Is that a good or bad sign? hmmm...
He said it was a good thing. He named this recipe Awesome Chicken & Rice!
6 pieces of chicken breast (I buy the bags of chicken breast)
1 cup white rice (uncooked)
salt & pepper (I also use seasoned salt)
1 can cream of chicken (or other kind of your choice)
1 cup of water
1 pkg. of onion soup mix
Pour the white rice in the bottom of a 9x13 casserole dish. Rinse and pat dry chicken. Place the chicken on top of rice. Salt and pepper the chicken. In a separate bowl mix the cream of chicken and water. Pour soup over chicken & rice. Sprinkle the onion soup mix over top. Seal tightly with aluminum foil. Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour. Enjoy!
