The Hot Flash Podcast

In episode 8 of The Hot Flash Podcast, Amy and Anita are joined by their friend, Doris Atkins. Doris is Texan through and through, but for a few years she lived in SC and we got to know her. We share the story of how we met Doris and how quickly our friendship began.

Doris is an amazing woman with a passion for cooking and loving Jesus and people through her home-cooked meals. She shares tips that have helped her get dinner on the table for years. There are so many little nuggets of gold in the next few minutes (and not chicken nuggets! TEASER ALERT: Her son didn't know what a happy meal was until he was almost 5!)

We hope this episode encourages and inspires you to get those meals on the table, even on the toughest of days.

A Few of Doris's favorites:

Crock Pot Green Enchilada Chicken Soup

2.5 pounds of boneless, skinless chicken breasts

28 oz. can of green enchilada sauce

24 oz. chicken broth

2 cups Monterrey Jack cheese

4 oz cream cheese, cubed at room temp

4 oz. green salsa (salsa verde)

Salt/pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. In the crockpot add chicken breasts, green enchilada sauce, and chicken broth. Cook on low for 6 - 8 hours.
2. About 30 minutes before serving, remove chicken and shred, then add shredded chicken, Monterrey jack cheese, cream cheese, and green salsa to the crockpot. Replace the lid and cook until the cheeses are melted. (You can add additional salsa for taste.)
3. Top with sliced avocado, cilantro (if you're a fan), green onion, and sour cream. For added crunch, add strips of tortillas.

Green Chile Frittata

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

10 eggs, lightly beaten

1/2 pound butter or margarine, slightly melted and cooled

2 cups small curd cottage cheese

1 pound Monterrey Jack cheese, grated

3 4 oz. cans diced green chiles

Salt/ pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Preheat over to 350º.
2. Butter a 9x13 inch shallow baking dish.
3. Mix flour and baking powder.
4. Add eggs and butter, blending well.
5. Blend in the remaining ingredients.
6. Put the mixture in a prepared baking dish and bake for 35 - 45 minutes, or until set.

In Epidsode 7, we are talking organizational tips and ideas to help make life a little easier.

Whether you are like Anita and so organized your youngest son cannot carry his backpack in pre-kindergarten (quite a funny story we must say!) or you are like Amy and learning new and better ways to organize every day, we hope this episode helps make your life a little easier.

We love what @refined_rooms says about being organized. Here's her 10 reasons why you should work toward being more organized:
