Fifty-Nifty Recipes....Oklahoma!

More than 400 miles of Route 66 are in Oklahoma.  Loaded with things to do for the family.  Museums, water parks, farms, shopping...If my family were traveling on Route 66 we would probably stop by a Route 66 museum...for the history, stop by some local gift shops...I would like to get some pictures of a couple of ranches.  One website told there are some ostrich ranches...and some dude ranches.  We would have to take a break at some point to eat at a diner on Route 66.  Found several in my researching, but could not find a pic for you.




Oklahoma actually has a state menu:  fried okra, squash, cornbread, bbq pork, biscuits, sausage and gravy, corn, chicken fried steak, pecan pie, black eyed peas...and last, but not least...strawberries and watermelon!
Here are a couple of recipes I found:
Chicken Enchilada Dip
3 cooked, boneless chicken breast halves, shredded
2 (8 ounce) packages light cream cheese, softened
4 green onions, chopped
1 (10 ounce) can diced tomatoes with green chilie peppers
1 tsp. minced garlic
1 tsp. chopped cilantro
1 T. chili powder
1 tsp. cumin
1 tsp. dried oregano
1 tsp. paprika
In a bowl, mix the shredded chicken, light cream cheese, green onions, diced tomatoes with green chilie peppers, garlic and cilantro. Season with chili powder, cumin, oregano and paprika. Cover and chill at least 2 hours.
Kickin' Cornbread

2 pouches (6.5 ounces each) Betty Crocker cornbread and muffin mix
1/4 cup butter or margarine
2 eggs
1 can (14.75 ounces) cream style corn
1 can (4.5 ounces) chopped green chilies, undrained

Heat oven to 400 degrees.  Spray 9" square pan with cooking spray.   Mix ingredients until moistened...the batter will be lumpy.  Spread batter in pan.  Bake about 30 minutes or until golden brown.  Let stand 5 minutes before slicing.

See you soon!
