Colorful Rice Semi Homemaker Recipes

Steps:

• For the cake: Grease a Bundt pan and spread pecans on the bottom of the pan. Beat eggs, oil, water and rum in mixer just until incorporated. Add pudding mix and cake mix and beat on med, about 3 to 5 minutes just until you get a smooth texture. Pour into pan and bake at 350 degrees F for 40 to 45 minutes. The cake should have a light golden brown color, but will darken with the glaze.
• For the glaze: Melt butter in saucepan and add the sugar and water, bring to a boil. Once it starts to boil, take off the heat and add the rum. Pour into a large measuring cup that will hold that amount or more. Set aside.
• Once cake is ready, take out of oven and leave in pan. Gently prick holes into the cake with a skewer. Slowly pour half of the glaze over the cake making sure to fill in all the holes. Once the cake has soaked up the glaze, turn cake over, removing pan, onto the base that the cake will stay on. Gently prick more holes on other side and slowly pour other half of glaze over cake. Fill the center of the cake with reserved pecans. Let cool and enjoy. The cake is best if left at room temperature.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Bake bread according to package directions, then cool. Cut loaf horizontally.
• Combine ground chicken, cherries, cherry peppers, rosemary, and salt and pepper in large bowl. Stir well to combine. Shape into 4 patties. Mist a large nonstick fry pan with cooking spray. Place over medium heat until hot. Cook burgers for about 5 minutes per side, or until cooked through.
• Stir preserves into mayonnaise in small bowl. Spread on cut sides of bread. Cut the loaf into 4 equal sections. Top the bottom bun with burger then tomato slices and 2 pieces lettuce. Place top bun on lettuce.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Slice the chicken tenders into cubes. Place the coating mix into a large bowl and add cubed chicken. Toss so that all of the chicken is evenly coated. Place the coated chicken onto a sheet pan and bake in the oven for about 20 minutes.
• Three minutes before the chicken comes out of the oven, combine hot sauce and honey in a large bowl. Microwave on high for 2 minutes.
• Add the chicken to the hot sauce and mix to ensure all the chicken is evenly coated with the sauce. Place on a platter with a small bowl of ranch and/or blue cheese dressing.

Steps:

• Set the ice cream out on counter for about 30 to 45 minutes to soften, but not melt.
• Crush the cookies in a food processor along with the butter.
• Spray a 9 by 5-inch loaf pan with cooking spray and line it with waxed paper so that the paper covers sides and is taller than pan. The paper should fall over the sides of pan. Press the crushed cookies into the bottom of the pan to make a thick layer. Do not allow the cookies to go up the sides.
• Layer the ice cream in the order you prefer. (I usually do coffee, chocolate, and then the vanilla.) Smooth out each layer before pouring in the next flavor of ice cream to make a level surface for the next layer. Fill the pan with the last layer so that the ice cream is level with the sides of the pan.
• Cover with plastic wrap and place in the freezer until the ice cream is firm and solid, at least 5 to 6 hours. (I usually start this in the morning to serve as a dessert after dinner.)
• Once the ice cream is firm and solid remove the plastic wrap. Dip pan into warm water to make it easy to remove, but do not let water get inside the pan. Invert onto a decorative plate, using the waxed paper to ease the cake out of the pan. Remove the waxed paper and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Wrap corn tortillas in wet paper towels and microwave for 45 seconds. In a large bowl, combine chicken, 1 1/2 bags of cheese, onion, cilantro, and 2 cans of enchilada sauce. Mix well Add the cilantro and stir to combine.
• Cover the bottom of a large baking dish with half of the remaining enchilada sauce.
• Carefully spoon mixture into tortillas, roll up and place seam side down in the baking dish. Cover the top with the other half can of the enchilada sauce and the rest of the cheese (1 1/2 bags). Bake for 35 to 40 minutes. Serve with sour cream sauce.
• Make sour cream sauce by adding butter to a saucepan over medium heat. While the butter is melting add the chicken broth, cumin, garlic and sour cream. Whisk to combine; season with salt, bring to a boil and remove from the heat.
• Serve enchiladas topped with sour cream sauce.
