What's for dinner?

I wanted to share some recipes with my blog friends. I try really hard to plan out our meals a week in advance due to all the running around we do. Here is a look at What's For Dinner at the Kenty household.
Butterfinger Cake (I will be taking this to a Mother's Day get together)
Warning: This cake is so good (and easy) - you'll want to eat the whole thing yourself
Yellow cake mix
1 can sweetened condensed milk

1 jar caramel topping

3-4 Butterfinger candy bars
Cool Whip
Bake the cake mix according to the package.
While hot - poke holes all over it. Mix together the sweet milk and caramel and pour over cake. Crush up the butterfingers and spread on top. Allow to cool and refrigerate. Once completely cool - top with cool whip.




Beef Enchiladas
1 lb hamburger meat
1 small onion, chopped
1 can of chopped black olives
1 can of cream of mushroom soup
1 can of Enchilada sauce
8 oz of shredded cheddar cheese
6-8 flour tortillas
Brown the meat and saute the onions in with it.
Once that is done, add in the olives and let it heat and then add in 3/4 of the cheese and let it melt - mix it all together. Fill tortillas with the meat mixture and roll up. Combine the mushroom soup and enchilada sauce and pour on top.
Top with remaining cheese.
Bake at 350 for 30-40 minutes.


Crockpot BBQ Chicken
1 package of split chicken breast (or whatever you have in freezer)
1 bottle of your favorite BBQ sauce
Cook on low in crockpot all day
Shred chicken and serve on hamburger buns with chips
Lemon Chicken with Green Beans and New Potatoes
6 tablespoons olive oil

2 lemons, 1 thinly sliced, 1 juiced
4 cloves garlic
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground pepper
2 cans of green beans
8 small red potatoes, quartered
4 chicken breasts
Preheat oven to 450. Coat a large baking dish with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Arrange lemon slices from 1 lemon in a single layer on the bottom of the dish. In large bowl combine remaining olive oil, lemon juice of 2ND lemon, garlic, salt and pepper. Add green beans and toss to coat. Using tongs, remove green beans and arrange them on top of lemon slices. Add potatoes to same olive oil mixture and coat. Arrange on inside edge of dish on top of the beans. (I think it’s so pretty!) I also add a lemon pepper mixture on top of everything. It adds a lot of flavor.Place chicken in olive oil mixture and coat. Place chicken in dish. Roast for 40-50 minutes. Remove chicken and continue roasting potatoes/beans if necessary.
I use canned cut green beans because I love canned beans. Put I'm sure fresh or frozen would be just as good!
