Our Favorite Honey Lemon Green Iced Tea

This is a recipe that I came up with because my son wanted to start drinking healthier drinks and stop drinking so much soda.  He is loving this one.  I like it too.

Honey Lemon Green Iced Tea
Makes 2 Quarts

Ingredients:

6 tea bags - honey lemon green tea
1/4 cup lemon juice (fresh)
3/4 cup orange blossom honey
1/2 teaspoon candied ginger
2 quarts fresh water

Directions:

Boil half of the water in a tea kettle.  Put the 6 tea bags into a two quart size container.  After the water boils, pour it into the container over the tea bags.  Let tea bags steep for at least 15 minutes to an hour.  Remove tea bags and let tea cool.  Once tea has cooled slightly, pour in honey and lemon.  Add the remaining water and refrigerate for several hours to cool.  Serve over ice and garnish with lemon wedge or slices.

You can double this recipe.

Enjoy!

Slow-Cooker Enchilada Casserole

This is an extremely easy and inexpensive meal to make for a meatless dinner.  I was just thinking that you could add ground beef or shredded chicken to it to change it up a bit.

Slow-Cooker Enchilada Casserole

Prep:  10 minutes
Cook: 3  hours
Serves:  4

 9 6-inch corn tortillas

15 oz. canned enchilada sauce
1 15-ounce can black beans, rinsed and drained
2 cups frozen corn
2-1/2 cups shredded Cheddar

1.        Place an oven rack about 5 inches from broiler and preheat broiler to high.  Toast tortillas under broiler, turning once, until lightly spotted, 2 to 3 minutes total.  Reserve 2 tablespoons enchilada sauce.  Combine beans and remaining sauce in a bowl.

2.       Mist slow-cooker insert with cooking spray.  Place 3 tortillas in bottom, breaking one into pieces if necessary to cover bottom.  Spread half of bean mixture over tortillas.  Sprinkle with 1 cup corn and ½ cup cheese.  Repeat with 3 more tortillas, remaining bean mixture, remaining corn and 1 cup cheese.  Top with 3 remaining tortillas, reserved sauce and remaining 1 cup cheese.  Cover and cook on low until cheese has melted and is beginning to crisp on edges, 2 to 3 hours.

 Enjoy!
