The Prom-Mom's Perspectives and Ramblings...

Let's Eat!

YES...those three little letters that mean sooooo much to us three times (or more!) a day!!! E-A-T!

My 'little chef,' helping mama out.
Those of you who know me personally know that I absolutely LOVE to cook & bake...I love to try new things, make traditional things and hear about/talk about cooking and favorite recipes of all cultures & households!

This small compilation of recipes are what I consider Ziebart-household 'staples'...though I have plans and hopes to expand this page-concept in time.

Whether you're popping in out of pure-curosity, or on a mission to figure out tonight's dinner, get to cookin' so you can get to the good part...
EATING!

7. On a flat surface, lay out a 'station' with your sauteed onion, cooked/cubed chicken, 1-2 cups of your cheese (set aside other 2 cups), and your flour tortillas. Lay out a tortilla (on a plate) and spread a handful of chicken, a handful of cheese and a tong-full of onion onto a tortilla, wrap up like a burrito and place in your grease pan.
