New foodie thing I love!

Thanks to my friend Ryan, I've discovered Philadelphia Cooking Cremes. They are my new favorite cooking accessory! There are several different flavors: Italian Cheese & Herb, Savory Garlic, Santa Fe Blend and original.

I used the Italian Cheese & Herb that I mixed with a three-cheese tortellini and it was yummy! Bobby thought it had a little bit of a sour taste and it was a bit thick, but I still enjoyed the diversion from our usual Alfredo sauce.

Today I made a yummy cheesy chicken enchilada recipe with the Santa Fe Blend. Sadly, the recipe was on the container and I threw it away! I tried looking it up online, but there was an error on the webpage. It was pretty simple. I just cooked and shredded 2 chicken breasts, added it to diced tomatoes and 3/4 cup of the cooking creme in a large skillet. The recipe calls for cooked onions but I don't like those, so I used onion salt. Then I poured the mixture into 8, 6" flour tortillas, put the rest of the sauce on top and baked it in a 9x13 baking dish at 350* for 20 minutes. It turned out yummy and we added medium salsa on top.

There are a few more recipes I plan on trying with the cremes. It really makes cooking very simple and they're very tasty.

Speaking of alfredo sauce...I made a tasty one a few weeks ago that was made of tofu, and my husband didn't even know! This is the recipe I used : http://www.food.com/recipe/tofu-alfredo-sauce-142735. I remember adding more onion powder than what the recipe called for.
