* 1/4 cup apple juice

Chicken Quesadillas

1/2 cup Thick 'N Chunky Salsa
2 Tbsp. MIRACLE WHIP Dressing
1/2 tsp. chili powder
8 Flour Tortillas
3/4 lb. cooked boneless skinless chicken breasts, sliced
1 cup Mexican Style Shredded Four Cheese


MIX salsa, dressing and chili powder; spread evenly onto tortillas.

LAYER chicken and cheese evenly on half of each tortilla; fold in half to enclose filling.

HEAT large skillet sprayed with cooking spray on medium heat. Add quesadillas, two at a time; cook 4 to 5 min. on each side or until lightly browned on both sides. Repeat with remaining quesadillas. Cut each quesadilla into three wedges to serve.

Clean Mud

warm water (warm enough to melt soap)
1 bar dove soap
1 roll white toilet paper




Have the children tear up the toilet paper into little bits (the smaller the better). Using a cheese grater, grate the bar of soap into a big bowl. Add the torn up toilet paper to the bowl. Add the warm water a little bit at a time while mixing the toilet paper and the soap together. You have added enough water when the mixture begins to feel like a thick cool whip. Do not make the mixture soupy. The more you play with it the fluffier it becomes. The kids have an absolute blast with it

Zesty BBQ Chicken

6 frozen skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1 (12 ounce) bottle barbeque sauce
1/2 cup Italian salad dressing
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce

1/2 lb. red potatoes, thinly sliced (about 2 cups)
3/4 cup 2% Milk Shredded Reduced Fat Four Cheese Mexican Style Cheese
1/2 cup Thick 'N Chunky Salsa
1/4 cup Light Sour Cream

HEAT oven to 400°F. Sprinkle chicken with seasoning mix. Place 1/2 cup potatoes on center of each of four large sheets of heavy-duty foil; top with chicken, cheese and salsa.

BRING up foil sides. Double fold top and both ends to seal each packet, leaving room for heat circulation inside. Place in 15x10x1-inch baking pan.
