Yum, that looks delicious! My 6 ingredient meal would be with: red curry paste, coconut milk, carrots, broccoli, chicken breast, rice!
Saute Chicken breast until golden brown, add carrots chopped and coconut milk. Let simmer and add red curry paste. Season with salt and pepper! Add broccoli 4-5 minutes before serving, as to not over cook. Serve over white rice!
This is a delicious curry stew you can adapt to you liking and change veggies up or add some spiciness to! Enjoy!
My favorite easy meal that is six ingredients or less is grilled chicken breasts, onions, peppers- generally use 1 pepper per pound of chicken, yep I like peppers, and 1/2 pound of onions per pound- the fourth ingredient is brown rice. Boil up the rice and in skillet brown up the peppers, onions and chicken, drain up the rice and stir into the mix right in pan..- I usually don't add anything so its healthy and not covered with gravy and sauces. I sometimes make sweet potato fries- cut up and served on the side- just broil them- no oil. It is a healthy yummy meal that all eat.

Mediterranean goodness!
Oh, here is mine, and it is UNBEATABLE.
1 boneless pork loin (3-4 pounds)
1 jar of Mrs. Renfro's Spicy Jalapeno Salsa
1 onion
Sour cream
Corn tortillas
Put the whole pork loin in the crock pot. Pour the salsa over the top. Cook for 6-8 hours on low, then shred. Stir in about a 1/2 cup of diced onion there at the end. Spoon the mixture into corn tortillas and a little sour cream (and some manchego cheese, if you have it!) DELICIOUS.
I get lots of people worried about the hot salsa, but it really mellows out with all the cooking time. It is tangy and not spicy when its finished. We love this and it feeds us for a couple of days - and we don't get tired of the leftovers! Great party food, too.
Emily
I make that same chicken dish ALL the time! yummy! This is so easy I am ebarassed to post it. I was doubtful to try it, but if you are a BBQ eater ~ what southern girl isn't ~ you HAVE to try this!
Buy a 5-7 lb. Boston butt
Put in a crock pot with 1/2 cup white vinegar. Cook on high for 4-6 hours or low all day. I chop the meat up (like BBQ) and keep it in a container in the fridge ~ we all eat a different sauce OR you can add sauce to it all! SO good on fresh white bread! My husband LOVES BBQ and was shocked when I fixed this! :) Enjoy!!!

My 6 ingredient meal would be a take-off of Chicken Marsala.
Chicken breasts or tenderloins

Cut up the chicken and brown it.
Saute your mushrooms in the butter. Add about 2 Tbsp of flour to make a rue. Quickly add a 1/4 cup of white cooking wine and 1/4 a cup of chicken broth. stir until flour is all smoothed out. It will thicken as it simmers. {sometimes I will add another 1/4 cup of broth and wine depending on if you like more sauce}

That looks delish! :)
My fave 6 ingredient meal would have to be a casserole my hubby's grandmother makes with chicken, spaghetti noodles, Rotel, peas, mushrooms, and Velveeta. It's very simple, but I could eat a whole pan of it by myself.
You boil the chicken breast (reserve water, and toss in the noddles to cook while you shred or cut up the chicken into bite-sized pieces). Next, drain the noodles and put them in a 9 x 13 pan, add the chicken, drain the sliced mushrooms and add, drain and add a small can of peas (I use half a can, because my weird fam does not like peas), add a can of Rotel, and then cut up the Velveeta into large cubes and stir it all together. Bake at 350 for 30 - 45 min. until the cheese is melted. It's SOOOOO yummy.
My go-to, nothing in the house recipe is Migas. You need:
-Corn torillas (2 per person)
-Onions or scallions
-Pickled jalapenos
-Tomatoes (1/2 per person)
-Eggs (2 per person)
-Shredded cheese
Cut the tortillas into strips and saute them in oil until they are just soft. Add in the chopped onions/scallions and saute for a few minutes. Add the chopped pickled jalapenos and tomatoes. Then add the beaten eggs, and stir gently until the eggs are scrambled.
Top the mixture with shredded cheese, take the pan off the heat and put a cover on the pan until the cheese melts.
Serve with toast and/or sausage.
I'm a loving this! Love recipes with very few ingredients that are easy to make! Here is my favorite 6 ingredients or less recipe:
CHEESEBURGER & FRY CASSEROLE
Ingredients:
1 lb ground beef
1 medium onion
1 can cream of mushroom
1 can cheddar cheese soup
1 bag frozen french fries
shredded cheddar cheese (to taste)
Directions:
Brown the ground beef and drain.
Add onions to soften/brown just a little.
Remove from burner.
Add cans of mushroom & cheddar soup & stir together.
Add as much shredded cheddar cheese as you'd like for some extra cheesy-ness.
Spread the beef/mushroom/cheddar mixture into a baking dish.
Add frozen french fries on top.
Use french fry directions on how long to bake and at what temperature.
-to make this into a Weight Watchers recipe, you can nix the shredded cheddar cheese and make the ground beef lean and the mushroom soup fat free. It makes 6 servings and it would be 7 WW points per serving.

Take one about 3 lb. London Broil. Brown in large skillet all sides. Add to crockpot. Briefly carmelize diced onions in skillet, adding minced garlic for 30 seconds at the end of cooking.

This is one of those recipes that doesn't sound so good but is delicious! My aunt started making this years ago and every time we serve it, someone always leaves with the recipe!
Cranberry Catalina Chicken
4 - 8 chicken breasts
8 oz. Catalina dressing
1 can whole berry cranberry sauce
1 pck. Lipton onion soup mix
Combine all sauce ingredients and pour over chicken in a 8x8 or 9x13 pan (depending on how many pieces of chicken you use) and bake at 350 for 45 minutes. The sauce is delicious over pasta for an easy side.
The sauce is sweet but not overly so, and it's a great company dinner. If it's for company, I take the chicken out and slice it thinly, then place it over the pasta and pour sauce over all of it for a nice presentation. If it's for us, it's just a piece of chicken on a plate, but still tastes yummy! Can't wait to read all the entries.
My favorite 6 ingredient or less recipe is for Mexican Confetti Pinwheels. You need
1. 1 8 oz can refrigerated crescent dinner rolls
2. 1 can chopped chicken breast
3. 1/4 c nacho cheese dip
4. 1/3 c finely chopped red bell pepper
5. 1/3 c chopped green onions
Unroll and separate dough into 4 rectangles. Spread cheese dip onto dough leaving 1/4 inch on sides. Sprinkle with chicken, bell pepper and onions. Roll up each rectangle and cut into slices. Bake at 13-17 minutes on an ungreased cookie sheet at 350 degrees.
SO yummy!
I came across this easy recipe last week and it is so good! It uses ground beef, water, egg noodles, mushroom soup, Velveeta, and pepper. Sounds too simple to be any good, but is seriously tasty. My kids loved it.
Cheesy Beef Stroganoff:
Brown ground beef. Stir in 2 cups of water and 3 cups of eggs noodles. Cover and simmer for around 9 minutes. Finally, stir in a can of cream of mushroom soup and 8 ounces of cubed Velveeta and cook a few minutes more until the cheese melts. Add plenty of pepper to taste. Stir well. It is SO good and so easy!

My family's favorite go to recipe when we need something quick and easy is what we call Chicken and Rotels. Not sure why that name but that's just what we've always called it.
It's super easy. All you need is
- 2 large cans of cooked chicken
- 2 cans cream of chicken soup
- 1 can cream of mushroom soup
- 1 can of rotels
- Doritos or your favorite corn chips (white or yellow)
- rice (brown or white)
Combine the canned chicken, soups, and rotels in casserole dish and mix together. Throw in a couple of big handfuls of corn chips and mix together (I like to leave some of the chips sticking out the top of the dish for crispiness). Bake at 375 for 30 minutes and serve over a bed of rice.
This looks like a big ole dish of goop but it is soooo good! Enjoy!
These six ingredients make my husband and six children happy:
Baked Spaghetti: ground beef, cooked spaghetti noodles, spaghetti sauce from a jar, cheddar cheese, mozarella cheese, parmesean cheese.
Cook 1-2# ground beef, drain, and add enough spaghetti sauce to make it sort of sloppy and heat until bubbly. Layer some coooked noodles in greased 9x13 pan then add some beef/sauce mixture. Top with 2c mozarella cheese (or more) and then 1c cheddar cheese. Repeat to make another layer of noodles, beef/sauce and cheeses then sprinkle 1 cup parmesean cheese over the top. Cover with foil and bake at 350 for 40 minutes. Uncover last 5 minutes.
This always goes fast and when I bake it for others, they always love it.

Cook and drain according to package
1 small package Buitoni Sweet Italian Sausage Tortelloni
Add:
1 package pine nuts
a handful of chopped grape tomatoes

Coat with La Martinique French Vinaigrette
It is wonderful as a side dish or as your main dish with some bread on the side!

1/4 cup breadcrumbs (or 4 slices bread)
12 oz of any type of short pasta
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Add cauliflower mixture, Parmesan cheese (and parsley if you have it) to pasta. Toss extra pasta water in mixture to form a thin sauce.
Serve topped with toasted breadcrumbs and more Parmesan.
It's a favorite at our house!!!!!
This one is short on ingredients and another bonus is you do it in the crockpot. Dinner is ready when you are!
Crockpot Chicken Stroganoff
*6-8 boneless skinless ck breasts (put them in frozen so your chicken won't be dry)
*16 oz sour cream
*1 can cream of mushroom soup
*1 packet Lipton French Onion dip mix
Put frozen chicken breasts in crockpot. Mix onion dip, sour cream and musroom soup. Pour over chicken and cook on low 6 hours. Chicken will shred with a fork when done. Serve over rice or egg noodles.
NOTE: to fancy this up for company, I add fresh mushroom and a jar of drained pimentos at the end.
We make balsamic chicken regularly, and it's always a hit. The vinegar gets sweet and syrupy, and the chicken stays very, very tender. It's similar to the Chicken Balsamico that was once on the menu at Johnny Carino's, but we no longer have that here in Florida so I had to figure out how to make it myself.
You need a pound (or so) of chicken breasts or tenderloins, a cup of flour, 3 tbsp of olive oil, 1/4 cup chicken broth, 3/4 cup balsamic vinegar, and a couple of cloves of minced garlic.
Season your flour with salt & pepper. Take chicken breasts or tenderloins, cut them into bite-sized chunks, and toss them in your flour. Saute the coated chicken pieces in olive oil until they're mostly cooked. Add the garlic when the chicken is just about done. Add the vinegar and chicken broth, and let it reduce until it's thick and there's very little liquid left in the pan. And that's it!
I usually serve this with some whole wheat pasta, mixed with spinach, olive oil, and chopped tomatoes. My husband usually then covers the whole thing in parmesan -- which he's right to, because that makes it even better.
Here is my favorite recipe. It's quick and easy to make and everyone really seems to enjoy it. I know it's seven ingredients but the butter doesn't count when you're using it to brown your meat!
http://bigdogsmommyanddaddy.blogspot.com/2009/05/chicken-alfredo-casserole.html
this is a staple meal in our home, and a go-to dinner when I can't think of anything else to cook! Plus, the kids and husband LOVE it! Chicken/Green Bean/Potato dish:
2 cans green beans
4-5 chicken breasts (thawed or frozen)
2-3 russet potatoes, peeled and cubed
1 stick butter
1 packet of Italian Dressing mix (seasoning)
place chicken breasts along middle of pan (lengthways)....drain green beans and put on one side of chicken, put potato cubes on other. Melt the stick of butter and mix in Italian dressing mix into the butter and pour evenly over chicken, green beans and potatoes. Cover with foil and cook for an hour on 375, or until chicken is done and potatoes are soft. YUMMY and EASY! Takes care of the meat, and sides in one.
Enjoy!

Crock Pot Lasagna!
1/3 cup water doesn't count as an ingredient, does it? :-) Come on, you don't have to go out & buy it!

My favorite 6 ingredient meal is chicken salad. Ingredients: 3 chicken breasts, cooked and shredded, 1/4 c. sour cream, 3 tbsp. mayonnaise, 2 stalks celery, finely chopped, 1 tea. fresh dill, and a small bunch of red grapes, chopped. Mix and chill. I know there are a million recipes for chicken salad, but this recipe to me screams SUMMER! Hope I win!
Here's a four to five ingredient meal for ya. :-)
http://sureisgood.wordpress.com/2010/10/30/chicken-enchilada-casserole/
Chicken Enchilada Casserole
Preheat: 350
Time: About 45 minutes – 15 minutes prep, 30 minutes bake time
Makes: I know I’ve been vague in this area in recent posts, but really, it depends on how much you want to make, how many layers you want your casserole to have, etc. This recipe is super flexible and easy to adjust in either direction.
Corn tortillas
Chicken breasts (cooked) – I used 4 large breasts
Enchilada sauce (red) – I used 3 cans and I made the dish shown plus an 8×8. Both casseroles had 2 layers.
Shredded cheese – I used a 2 cup bag and only put cheese in/on the casserole shown above, not the one I made in the 8×8. I think it needed more cheese, so next time I would buy the 4 cup bag.
Cook your chicken. I cooked mine using my roasted chicken recipe because it’s SO easy and SO flavorful. Here is another variation of chicken in the crockpot that would work well with this recipe.
After your chicken is done, shred it.
The bottom layer is corn tortillas. Dip them in the sauce – both sides! – then lay them in the dish to cover the bottom.
Sprinkle the shredded chicken on top of the corn tortillas.
Then sprinkle with cheese.
Dip some more corn tortillas in the sauce and start the layering again.
Keep on layering until you’ve used all your ingredients, but make sure you end with cheese.
Cover and bake at 350 for about 25-30 minutes.
You could also dice some onion, sautee it, and add it in between the chicken & cheese layers. Yum.
I served with a side of black beans. Pretty tasty, sooo easy, and makes a ton. Enjoy!
Yummy! That is one of my family favorite meals! My recipe does not have a title..it is just something I threw together but we love it here!
Ingredients:
Italian Sausage

Take sausage out of the casing and brown in skillet with olive oil and garlic. While browning sausage, boil noodles. After noodles are cooked put in the skillet with sausage, put in fresh spinach and put lid on the skillet! Cook until spinach is wilted. After spinach is wilted, stir and add lots of feta cheese!!! Let the feta cheese melt and serve!!! So good with crunchy bread!
Italian Chicken
Six Chicken Breasts
I jar spaghetti sauce
Parmesan Cheese
Cheddar Cheese
Spaghetti Noodles (optional)
Lay chicken in 9x13 casserole. Pour half the spaghetti sauce on and bake 20 minutes. Remove and turn over chicken. Pour remainder sauce, then top with cheddar and parmesan cheese.....amounts to your liking. Bake 20 more minutes. Serve over spaghetti noodles if you like. This is FABULOUS!!!

How fun! My favorite 6 ingredients or less is
BEEF TIPS AND RICE
1 pkg of beef tips
1 packet of Lipton onion soup mix
1 can Cream of Mushroom soup
10 oz club soda
Mix it all together and bake covered at 350 degrees for two hours. Pour over rice. It is soooo yummy!!
I love Six Ingredients Or Less meals!! My favorite is a tortellini dish that's super easy to make. The ingredients are the following:
1 bag of frozen cheese-filled tortellini
1 large zucchini
fresh broccoli florets, maybe 2 cups
grape tomatoes, maybe a cup
Olive oil, about 2 TBS.
garlic (I use about a 1/2 a tsp of the jarred garlic)
Saute the zucchini and garlic together in the olive oil until tender. Maybe 7 to 10 minutes. Microwave the broccoli florets for a few minutes to soften them, then dump them in with the zucchini. Then add the grape tomatoes (sliced in half). Cook it all together for a couple of minutes. Just long enough to heat the tomatoes up. Then toss in the cooked tortellini, sprinkle with some basil, or your seasoning of choice, and voila!! Deliciousness in a pan. Oh, and it's really healthy too. Woot woot! We usually pair with a salad and some garlic toast. Yum!!
5 ingredient recipe:
Chicken Puffs
2 C boiled diced chicken
6oz cream cheese
1/4 C milk
Mix together in bowl.
Crescent roll Sheet cut into 4 smaller squares.
Fill with Chicken mixture and press to seal sides (little pockets)
Sprinkle the top with Pepperage Farms Stuffing mix and bake at 350 for 20 min.
My favorite 6 ingredient main dish is a breakfast dish: Bacon-Cheese Pull Aparts!
Ingredients:
1 egg
2 Tablespoons milk
1 (16.3 oz.) can Pillsbury Grands Flaky Layers Refrigerated Original Biscuits
4-6 slices crispy bacon, cooked and broken into 1/2-inch pieces (or you can use 4-6 Tablespoons packaged real bacon pieces)
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Cooking Spray
Preparation:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray an 11×7″ or 12×8″ (2-quart) glass baking dish with cooking spray (if you don’t having either of those size pans, you could probably use a 9×13″ pan–it just may turn out a little flatter). In large bowl, beat egg and milk with wire whisk until smooth. Separate biscuit dough into 8 biscuits and cut each biscuit into quarters. Gently stir the biscuit pieces into egg mixture to coat evenly, then fold in bacon and cheese. Spoon the mixture into your sprayed baking pan and arrange biscuit pieces in a single layer. Bake 23-28 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm by cutting into squares, or just pulling biscuits apart. Makes about 8 servings.
Mine is only 5 ingredients, so easier right?
Cheeseburger Bacon Casserole
1 lb ground beef
Macaroni noodles
Bacon to liking (I usually use the Oscar Meyer crumbled bacon you find by the salad stuff)

Brown ground beef in skillet. Drain. Cook macaroni noodles. Mix together ground beef, macaroni noodles and bacon into a casserole dish. Add a little milk so that it won't be dry. Cover with cheese. Bake at 350 for 20 minutes (or until cheese is melted).
(You could add Rotel tomatoes to this too, and then I guess it would be 6 ingredients!)
My Favorite Six Ingredient Meal is
Hearty Shepherds Pie
1 jar of beef gravy
1 bag of frozen corn
2 lbs ground beef
3 cups of mashed potatoes ( instant or from scratch)

package of spaghetti
Cook spaghetti. Make sauce with soup, velveeta, and rotel. Add cooked chicken and mix together.

Mushrooms and chicken- I must try that!
This is the easiest recipe EVER, but I promise you, people will rave. Every time we have a family reunion, my cousin asks me to bring my Pineapple Casserole:
INGREDIENTS
2 20 ounce cans pineapple chunks

1 sleeve crushed Ritz crackers
1/2 stick butter
Mix all ingredients-except crackers and butter, pour into a Pyrex dish, sprinkle the crackers on top and then slice the butter on top of the crackers. Cook for 30 min. at 350 and voila!
The best thing about this casserole is that it is versatile- it can be served for breakfast, dessert, or a side dish. And it is easy on the budget! :D
We like chicken casserole & it's just chopped chicken, cream of mushroom soup, cream of chicken soup, mixed vegetable, ritz crackers, and a bit of butter. It is so easy, but always delicious!

My 6 ingredient recipe is called Chicken Dorito. 1 can cream of chicken, velveeta cheese, 1 can rotel, 1 can precooked chicken and tortilla chips.

Add cheese dip to your liking to the cream of chicken mix! We like lots of cheese so we use most of the cheese dip. Warm in microwave 1 to 2 minutes. Crush up tortilla chips in individual bowls and pour the cheese dip mix over the chips. Stir it up and enjoy!

My favorite easy meal is Picavia. It's basically a really delicious burrito.
Ingredients: hamburger meat, onions, green pepper, diced tomatos, soft taco shells, shredded cheddar cheese (cumin to taste, not sure if the spices count as an ingredient or not ;)
Cook the hamburger meat until browned. Dice half of a small yellow onion (you can add as much or as little as you like) and 1/3 of a green pepper. Add the onion and green pepper to the hamburger meat. Add a can of petite diced tomatoes and then simmer on medium heat covered for around 20-25 minutes (long enough for the tomato juice and tomatoes to cook into the mixture). As it's cooking add as much or as little cumin as you like.(Personally I think cumin is the secret touch. That sets it apart from just an ordinary burrito).
Throw the mixture onto your burrito shell with some shredded cheese and voila! Super easy!
What a blessing this giveaway will be to someone. Here is my 6 ingredient recipe~

GREEN FIRE CHICKEN
Ingredients:
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1/2 cup mayonnaise
3 tablespoons Green Tabasco sauce (I usually add more than this because it’s what gives it the good flavor!)
1/2 cup bread crumbs
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Directions:
Mix together mayonnaise and Tabasco sauce in one bowl.
In another bowl, mix together bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese.
Cut chicken breasts in half so they will cook faster.
Dip uncooked chicken breasts in the mayonnaise/Tabasco sauce mixture then roll in the bread crumb/Parmesan cheese mixture.
Place in baking dish in a single layer and bake uncovered at 375 degrees until done. This will take anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the thickness of the chicken.
Enjoy!
That looks yummy! I love anything with sour cream!
This recipe is my absolute favorite dish and lucky for me, it happens to have 6 ingredients!

Uncover the enchiladas, turn on the broiler, and broil for 3-5 minutes uncovered.
This is so delicious! My husband and I both love it. It does however make A LOT so sometimes we cut the recipe in half if it's just the two of us. You could easily make two pans with this recipe and if you do you may want to pick up an extra can of enchilada sauce. It's a great dish to take to someone who's just had a baby or needs meals for some other reason. They are great reheated!
Bean & Beef Enchiladas:
Brown ground beef mixed with your favorite taco seasoning packet. Drain. Spread refried beans (from a can) onto a tortilla. Spoon a little of the beef in the middle and a little shredded mexican style cheese. Roll tightly and line up in a baking dish. Top with a can of red enchilada sauce (may need 2 depending on how many enchiladas you make) and cover with more shredded cheese. Bake uncovered at 350 for 30 minutes. Serve with quacamole & sour cream! It's so good & simple - a kid favorite too!

My recipe is hot dog casserole!
Ingredients are:
1 pack of hot dogs (use your favorite), box of elbow macaroni, 1 can of cream of celery soup, water, relish, and yellow mustard

Then, when the hot dogs are browned, add the can of cream of celery soup. Add a can of water after that. Add 2 tbsp of relish (or more if you would like ) and 1 tbsp of mustard to the hot dogs. Mix well and heat until it bubbles. Then, mix the cooked elbow macaroni to skillet. Mix well and cook until the pasta absorbs some of the liquid.

The ingredients are: 32 oz. bag of frozen hash browns, 1 can cream of chicken soup, 16 oz. container of sour cream, 2 cups cheddar cheese, 2 cups cubed ham, 1 1/2 cups crushed corn flakes. Mix all ingredients (except for crushed cornflakes) in a large bowl. Transfer to a greased 9x13 baking dish. Top with crushed cornflakes. Bake at 350 degrees for 50-55 minutes until golden brown and bubbly around the edges. Enjoy! This makes a large amount, so sometimes I split the casserole in half, freezing one half and baking the other. Or I bake the casserole in two smaller baking dishes so I can give one to someone who needs a meal, while at the same time feeding my own family.

In bowl, combine all soups, rotel, shredded chicken, and a handful of velvetta shreds. Mix and add half a can of broth if needed. Salt and Pepper can be added here if needed as well. Pour into a 9x13 glass dish. Top with remaining velvetta shreds. Cook at 350 for 30 minutes or until cheese is fully melted.
Sounds delish! My 6 ingredients are: ground meat (beef or turkey or whatever you prefer), 1 small onion (diced), 1 can of black beans, 1 can of diced tomatoes, sour cream, shredded cheese.
Brown up the meat. Add the onion until tender. (Season with chili powder. Add in black beans (I like to season those with cumin). Add in tomatoes (seasoned wiht garlic salt if you'd like). Simmer. Makes a very tasty chili!
Top with sour cream and shredded cheese! We also sometimes add avocado on top and/or pour the chili over fritos or corn bread for an entire meal in a bowl!
Monterey Chicken
4 boneless skinless chicken breast
2 Tbsp olive oil
4 strips of bacon
1/4 onion sliced in rings
2 Tbsp brown sugar
1/4 cup shredded Monterey Jack Cheese
In a large non-stick skillet, heat oil.
Sprinkle chicken with pepper on both sides. Cook in oil 7-8 minutes per side or until juices run clear. Remove chicken.
Cook bacon in the same skillet the chicken was cooked in, and remove.
Using the same skillet, add sliced onions and brown sugar. You will need to continually stir because the brown sugar will carmelize. Keep cooking onions until they are flimsy.
Place chicken on a baking sheet, and layer it with the cooked bacon, and carmalized onions. Sprinkle with cheese.
Bake @ 350 degrees for 5 minutes.
This recipe comes from my friend Amanda's blog, Torres Tidbits. But I have made it numerous times and it is delicious. Awesome giveaway.
