Angel Chicken

I have been trying to do one post a week. I got really sick last week, so here is last week's post.
This is another easy crockpot meal. I put it together one day over my lunch break and it was ready to go when I got home.


You need: 8 chicken breasts (I just used three because there are only two of us), 1/4 C of butter, 1 0.7-oz pkg of italian salad dressing mix, 1 can of mushroom soup, 1/2 C of white wine, 1/2 of an 8-.oz tub of cream cheese with chives and onions, and angel-hair pasta


Place your chicken in the crockpot


On the stove melt the butter


Pour in the dry salad dressing mix


Once the butter and dressing are mixed together add in the mushroom soup, white wine, and cream cheese. Stir until combined together.


Pour the mix over the chicken. Cover and cook on low heat for 4-5 hours, or all day while you work.


Serve with cooked noodles and the sides of your choice.
The recipe above makes 6 servings. Using 3 chicken breasts we had tons and left overs for lunch the next day. This picture doesn't look that appetizing, but my husband said "this is Amazing!"

"Wicked good brownies!"

I made these tonight for a group of people we had over. Super easy, really good!


You need a package of brownies, chocolate chip cookie mix, and chocolate icing. Prepare according to the directions of each the brownies and the cookies.


First spread the brownie mix in a 9X13 pan.


Then by the spoonful drop the chocolate chip cookie mix on top of the brownie mix. Bake at 350 for 35-40 minutes.


After cooling ice with the chocolate icing.


And serve! Easy and delicious! Wish we had some milk!

I read on the website some people made this with peanut butter cookie mix, I will have to try that! It is sweet enough that you could probably leave off the icing if you wanted. Very good!

This recipe has been in real simple and looked good:


Ravioli of your choice, yellow squash, green beans, cherry tomatoes, garlic, parmesan cheese


Heat 2 T of olive oil over medium heat


Saute the green beans for 5 minutes


While you are doing that boil water and cook your pasta


Add the squash to the green beans and cook for 3 minutes


Add 1/2 cup of halved cherry tomatoes (again...why do my pictures turn like this? Anyone know?)


Add 1 T of chopped fresh garlic and cook together for 2 minutes


Add the pasta, stir together for three minutes or until pasta is warm

And some yummy bread!

This was quick, easy, and really good.

Easy Snacks

I made these easy snacks for the Superbowl party we went to. They don't require many ingredients or difficult cooking, and are tasty!

Easy peanut butter kiss cookies:

My favorite mix are these Betty Crocker mixes. All you do is follow the directions on the mix. You could cook on a cookie sheet, or I made mine in a sheet of mini muffin tins.


Roll the dough into balls and mix in sugar, bake the cookies according to the directions on the package


Take out of the oven and place a hershey kiss point down in the cookie while still warm. You can also use peanut butter cups and any variation of kisses.


Sausage balls:

1 lb of sausage + 2 C of Bisquick + 1/2 C of Milk + 10 oz of cheddar cheese= Delicious!
Roll into balls and place on a cookie sheet
Cook in the oven at 350 for 20 minutes or until meat is cooked through.
