Ingredients:

  • 6 to 8 pieces of chicken (I am using chicken drumsticks today).

  • 1 tablespoon of onion powder

  • 1 tablespoon of thyme

  • 1 teaspoon of celery flakes

  • 3 to 4 cloves of garlic, minced

  • 1 tablespoon of soul seasoning

  • 1 package of spaghetti noodles

  • 1 can of Rotel tomatoes

  • 1 block of Velveeta cheese

  • 1 cup of pepperjack cheese

  • Seasoning salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

  • 4 quarts of water, to cook the pasta

  • 4 to 6 quarts of water, to cook the chicken pieces


Instructions:

In a large stock pot, add the raw chicken drumsticks. To ensure even cooking of the chicken, add cold water to the pot. You'll want to add enough water to cover the chicken pieces.


Enhance the flavor of the stock by seasoning it with herbs and spices, which will also help to season the chicken from within. 


Cook for about 30 to 45 minutes.

To determine if the chicken is fully cooked, use a knife to cut into the thickest part. If the juices run clear, the chicken is done. If the juices are red or pink, continue cooking until they run clear.


Preserve the chicken stock for future use in a variety of recipes by storing it in the freezer.


Allow the cooked pieces of chicken to cool, then take the meat off the bone and chop it in bite-sized chunks. Set aside.


Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the spaghetti noodles and cook for 12 minutes until they are al dente. Drain the noodles and set aside.

 

Cut the Velveeta cheese into small cubes. In a saucepan, add the cubes of Velveeta and 1 cup of pepperjack cheese. Melt the cheese over low heat, stirring constantly to prevent burning. Once the cheese is melted, add the can of Rotel tomatoes and stir until well combined.

 

Add the cooked chopped chicken to the cheese sauce and mix well. Then, add the cooked spaghetti noodles and toss everything together until the noodles are coated in the cheese sauce.

 

Divide the Mexican spaghetti into bowls and serve hot. Add seasoning salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste, and enjoy this delicious and filling family dinner!

I tried Martha Stewart's slow-cooker triple chocolate brownies recipe- this is how they turned out There's one lady on this earth (besides mom) that I have always simply adored; Martha Stewart.

American pokeweed

American pokeweed  American pokeweed is a perennial, and it's commonly known as a survivalist plant. The plant is often referred to as poke salad, poke sallet, pokeweed, poke, among a few others. During the first days of spring, purplish shoots of pokeweed emerge from the soil. The plant will often pop up as a volunteer, and depending on the location, pokeweed can grow anywhere from 6 feet to 20 feet tall. The stalks and stems of pokeweed are an attractive purplish plum color. The leaves are a beautiful green color, and they can grow as big as 14 inches long by 7 to 8 inches wide. The plant's leaves will be tapered at each end. By summer, pokeweed begins producing long clusters of green and white flowers. The flowers turn into green berries that then transition from a light pink to a dark plum color. Pokeweed grows flowers and berries often at the same time and will continue to grow until the first frost. I have never pulled a pokeweed plant up from its roots, but I...

Vegetables that contain protein

Vegetables that contain protein If food prices have you scrambling down the aisles of the grocery store trying to find something that's more affordable than meat but still has protein, know that you're not alone! Back in the days when my grandparents went through the Great Depression, it was really tough times, but they survived through the hardships by growing their own food. There are a lot of veggies that actually do contain protein, and they're packed full of additional nutrients that our bodies all need. Vegetables highest in protein: Vegetables high in protein include artichokes, asparagus, beans, bean sprouts, and beans in general: broccoli, Brussel sprouts, chickpeas, green peas, kale, mushrooms, mustard greens, spinach, sweet corn, and turnip greens. For a few examples: Black beans contain 15 grams of protein in just a 1-cup serving. In fact, a 1/2 cup of cooked beans provides close to 7 grams of protein, which is the same as eating one ounce of meat. As for collar...
