Puppy Chow for the Class!

Hey Everyone, 

      So the quest is over and we had a "party" in class.  I decided to make puppy chow.  I had only made this one other time.  I actually called my little sister to make sure I had the correct ingredients(which I did).  I actually didn't follow the exact measurements of anything.  The ingredients are butter, peanut butter, chocolate chips, powdered sugar, and Chex mix.  You melt the butter (1/4 cup) and the chocolate chips ( I used a whole bag and then I had a 1/2 bag in my cupboard), then you add the cereal (I just started pouring it in stirred it with the choc.mixture until all was covered I added cereal until it looked like all excess chocolate was on the cereal).  I put it all in a Ziploc bag and added the powdered sugar and shook it up!  Very yummy! Once you start eating you can't stop though.

Chicken Casserole And Biscuits!

Hey Everyone, 

The quest is over! My last meal of the my quest was actually one of my favorites.  I actually have made this before.  I take Swanson canned chicken and mix it with corn, green beans,shredded cheese, and cream of chicken soup.  I only use these 2 vegetable because I don't like any other veggies.  I baked it for about 20 minutes.  Sometimes I put the biscuits right on top and bake it together but this time I did it separate and just put the casserole over the top kind of like a gravy!! Very yummy!! 

this website has a lot great recipes and this is where I got the general idea for this recipe!!!

On The Injured List!

Hey Everyone,
     So I have to admit I've slacked on my last few days.  I work at a daycare in a 12-24month classroom.  Really fun but, I don't think people realize how much lifting there is and even though the kids are little-they still can get heavy! I would say Wednesday into Thursday I threw my back out it just was so sore by the weekend all i did was lay on the couch with a heating pad!  So I went ahead and found my recipes and bought the stuff to make it but actually had my boyfriend doing the dirty work.  So I did my cooking from the couch-as he calls out "what do I do next"? We made ribs on Saturday night-smothered in barbecue sauce, mashed potatoes (made with real potatoes-which I never do), green beans and hot rolls(Hy-Vee baker).  Very delicious meal!

On Sunday we made Fried Chicken, had leftover mashed potatoes and we made gravy and had rolls again.  This meal was good I'm just not a big fan of fried chicken I hate eating off the bone!!!
