Raspberry Mango Smoothie.

A tasty little treat for the hot summer months. Fruity and refreshing. I love fresh raspberries and Steve loves mangos--so this smoothie is the the perfect combination .

Ingredients:

1 c. cup non-fat vanilla yogurt
1/2 cup frozen/fresh raspberries
1/2 cup cubed fresh mango
1/8 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 T. sugar

1 c. crushed ice

Preparation:

1. Place all ingredients into a blender. Blend on high for 10-15 seconds, or until the mixture is smooth and free of clumps. Garnish with fresh fruit if desired. (serves two)

If your not quite sure how your taste buds will respond to a raspberry mango mix....then try out McDonald's new Raspberry Mango shake first. I actually tried it out yesterday and I will say this... "I'm Lovin' It." haha--lame I know! But it was pretty darn good.

PS: They also have the Ice Age Happy Meal toys in right now....so it's a good time all around.


Now this next recipe is one of my favorites, mainly because it is so quick and easy to make, and it is really good too!

Easy Chicken Enchiladas

Ingredients:

4 chicken breasts cooked and seasoned with taco seasoning and shredded.

1 can cream of chicken soup

2/3 c. sour cream

1 small can sliced black olives

1/2 can of green chilies

1/4 c. salsa

8 oz shredded cheese (cheddar/mozzarella blend)

(I buy the 16 oz bag of pre-shredded cheese and use 8 oz in the mixture, and then 8 oz. on the top)

1 bag medium flour tortillas

Directions:

Mix all of these ingredients together in a bowl

Fill each tortilla with heaping spoons of chicken mixture and roll up

Mix another can of cream of chicken soup, added with more of the cheddar/mozzarella cheese blend and spread evenly on top of the filled tortillas.

Top off with the rest of the cheese and cover with tin foil and bake at 350 degrees for 45 min. Take cover off, and let the cheese bake until golden brown. (serves six)

My kids will even eat these which surprised me! So give it a try.
