Chicken and Stuffing




4 or 5 pieces of chicken, cooked and de-boned, white/dark or a combo of both

1 box chicken flavored stuffing mix (plus butter and water to prepare it)

1 can cream of chicken, reduced fat and sodium

Chop chicken into bite size pieces and place in bottom of a casserole dish.

Cook stuffing according to package direction, then pour on top of the chicken pieces.

Dilute the cream of chicken soup with water or chicken broth from the cooked chicken, about 3/4 of the can full.
You don't want it to be runny, more like gravy.

Pour over the top of the stuffing and chicken.

Place lid on top and bake for 30 minutes in a 350* oven.

Serve it up!

Chicken Salad



2 or 3 chicken breast, boneless/skinless

mayonaise or miracle whip, I always use a light variety

pickle relish

Boil chicken breasts until done, 20 minutes or so.

When cool enough to handle, break chicken into a few large pieces and place in a food processor or blender with a grinding blade. Grind the chicken.

In a meduim size bowl,  place ground chicken, enough mayo to bind it together and relish to taste. Stir to combine all ingredients.

Serve as a sandwich or alone with crackers on the side.




Caleb and Jonah really like this. They actually enjoy it as a sandwich between meals, 
or to take in a sack lunch to school. 
Boys...they can eat all the time!

A quick trip...




This last week, Doug, Jonah and I headed to Destin, Florida for a little R & R. We had some great beach time and some fun nights out for dinner. Our favorite was the night we went to the small community of Seaside for pizza. The restaurant is so charming with seating outside and a great view of the water. We had been there 2 years ago with the whole family so we thought it would be worth the 20 mile drive to get there....and it was! Here's what we ate...


Margarita pizza and Prosciutto Di Parma. It was soooo good.

This little community is so sweet. Kids everywhere, people riding bicycles, beautiful houses to rent and a feeling of stepping back in time. 
Some day we would like to stay there...and eat this pizza everyday!
