It all comes down to this.
Four recipes.
Four videos of Aiming Low staffers trying not to fuck things up.
And you.
Your vote determines it all.
Here’s a reminder of the AMAZING prizes at stake.
- A Rachel Ray Stock Pot from Cookware.com
- A fancy schmancy William-Sonoma Slow Cooker Cook book
- Being featured as the first recipe in the first annual Aiming Low Back Burner Recipe Book, as well as being noted as this year’s WINNER!
The Finalists:
Sexy Mexi submitted by Ashley Navarre
1 can canned Chicken, 1 can Rotel or Green Chilies, 1 can Cream of Chicken, 1 can Cream of Mushroom, 1/2 a bag of Cheddar Cheese.
Dump everything in a bowl, stir it up, bake it for 25-30 minutes. Serve in a bowl with crushed tortilla chips in the bottom. Add a little more cheese on top for good measure. Maybe dollop with sour cream or serve with a side of hot sauce and more chips.
Gourmet Grilled Cheese submitted by Jen Homann
2 pieces of bread, Sun-dried tomato pesto or basil pesto (or whatever kind you like), provolone cheese, butter
Warm skillet. Spread pesto on bread (I actually like sun-dried tomato on one side & basil pesto on the other, is that weird? oh well, it’s delish). Place cheese on pesto. Close sandwich. Butter outside of bread. Put on skillet & cook until “grilled”
White Trash submitted by Sugar Jones
White chocolate bark, Cap’n Crunch, Froot Loops, and Trix.
Melt Almond Bark in pyrex dish in microwave for 90 seconds at a time until all squares are melted.
Fold in cereal blend.
Scoop onto cookie sheet or into muffin tins.
(Muffin tins allow for a deeper bark size and more color when cut.)
Let cool in fridge for 30 minutes.
Break into chunks and serve!
Pumpkin Cake submitted by Katie
1 small can of pumpkin puree, 1 spice cake mix, 1 container cream cheese frosting (optional, but NOT REALLY)
1) Preheat oven to the temperature specified on the cake mix box.
2) Mix cake mix and pumpkin. Do not add eggs, oil or anything else. Just mix. Don’t make it complicated.
3) Spread in pan. It won’t rise much, so if you care about what it looks like, smooth the top and stuff.
4) Bake for the amount of time it says on the cake mix box. Check for doneness with a toothpick, but there aren’t any eggs so the world won’t end if you don’t bake it quite enough (just sayin’)
5) Let cool, frost with cream cheese frosting.
If you really won’t put the frosting on, cool whip is also acceptable as a topping.
And now, you vote!
Leave us a comment with the name of your favorite recipe, voting open until Friday, February 5th, 10pm EST.
Good Luck!

I’m going with the Pumpkin Cake: the ingredient number & amount of work make it truly Aiming Low! :D
Sexi Mexi
Sexi Mexi is exactly the kind of thing the boyfriend will go nuts for, and I’m kinda thinking it will be made at some point this weekend. That gets my vote.

I’m too late to vote, but I woulda gone with the last one. That is our FAVORITE sweets recipe at this house – and counts as somewhat healthy too! (Vit A! Fiber!!) Except we make it as muffins, or even mini-muffins (they bake more evenly that way than as a whole cake).
My FIL asks for this as his birthday cake.
Also, if you want an easy aiming low meal… Dunno where it came from; we’ve always called it Chicken Glop. This used to be my “make it for my birthday” requested meal.
16 or 24 oz sour cream
family size cream of chicken soup
buncha boneless skinless chicken breasts
mix wet stuff, pour over breasts in casserole dish.
350 for an hour and a half.
easy sides: fork several potatoes and place directly on the oven rack next to the casserole dish when you put it in.
when you take the glop out, throw some corn niblets in the microwave.
the “sauce” is good on the potatoes (and i like it on the corn, too) and this is a dish that reheats VERY WELL (coming from someone who doesn’t “do” leftovers).
