German Apple Pancakes

1 c flour
pinch of soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 sugar
2 eggs
1 c milk
2 Tbls butter, melted
3/4 c grated raw apple (I never measure it.  I just use 1 apple.)
1 tsp lemon juice (optional, in my opinion.  I've tried it with and without and can't tell a difference).
Applesauce

Sift together dry ingredients.  Combine eggs with milk and beat thoroughly and then add to flour mixture.  Add butter and beat until well blended.  Pour lemon juice over the grated apples and add to the batter.  Cook on a hot skillet a few minutes on each side until done.  Spread with butter, and warmed applesauce.  Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar.  Delish!

Creamy White Chili (Quick and Easy)

1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1/2-inch cubes

1 medium onion, chopped

1-1/2 teaspoons garlic powder

1 tablespoon canola oil

2 cans (15-1/2 ounces each) great northern beans, rinsed and drained

1 can (14-1/2 ounces) chicken broth

2 cans (4 ounces each) chopped green chilies

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1/2 teaspoon pepper

1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

1 cup (8 ounces) sour cream

1/2 cup heavy whipping cream

Directions

  • In a large saucepan, saute the chicken, onion and garlic powder in oil until chicken is no longer pink. Add the beans, broth, chilies and seasonings. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 30 minutes.
  • Remove from the heat; stir in sour cream and cream. Yield: 7 servings.
  • NOTE: This was kind of spicy, so you might want to adjust the chilies and/or the cayenne. Also, I used cooked rotisserie chicken instead of the chicken breast meat
