Chicken!! Chicken!! We eat chicken all the time and I get stuck in a rut about how to make it, so I tried this last night. We had friends come over and it was a hit. Love new ways to make chicken breast. Ingredients: chicken breast light garlic and herb laughing cow cheese wedges (1/2 wedge for each chicken breast) cooking spray 1/2 cup bread crumbs dried parsley flakes grated Parmesan cheese toothpicks Directions: Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Lay each chicken breast flat. Spread 1/2 wedge of cheese over one side of the chicken. Roll up and seal with a toothpick. Meanwhile mix together bread crumbs, parsley, and Parmesan cheese. Spray chicken with cooking spray and cover with bread crumb mixture. Place in baking dish. Bake for 15-25 minutes, and then broil until crust is golden brown. Remove toothpicks and serve.

Lima Bean Soup by Ashley

Do not let the Lima Bean part fool you. This recipe is awesome. It makes a ton. And it is southern to the core. Serve it with cornbread!! Please at least try it!! Yummy. Ingredients : 2 cups dry baby lima beans (or regular size limas work also) Lower sodium bacon (you can use turkey bacon) 1 (10-ounce) frozen whole kernel corn 1 (14-ounce) package smoked kielbasa or sausage, thinly sliced (I used turkey kielbasa) 1 onion, chopped 1 1/2 Tablespoon flour salt and pepper, to taste Directions : Place beans in large heavy saucepan. Add enough water to cover. Bring to a boil. Cook covered for 2 1/2 hours or until tender. Cook bacon in large skillet on medium heat until crispy. (Note: Since the turkey doesn't have much fat, I used a little bit of olive oil.) Drain on paper towels, reserving drippings in skillet. Crumble bacon. Add bacon, corn kielbasa (or sausage) and onion to beans in saucepan. Reduce heat to low; simmer 1 hour. Stir flour into reserved bacon drippings in skillet.

I love to make this for football season or small group. 1 bag of Gardettos 1 bag of plain M&M's 1 can of mixed nuts 1/2 box of Crispex cereal Mix it all together. I usually use the large bag M&Ms and the mixed nuts.

Three EASY meals: by Kimberly

So, I was looking on my friend Claire's blog the other day and made one of her recipes. She's so creative at everything and a really good cook and we've given her some shout outs before for her good recipes! However, first I made too much chicken taco meat (located on our blog) and ended up having 3 meals made easy! FIRST: I made chicken tacos : I used 10 chicken breast, 2 cans of chicken broth and 2 packs of taco seasoning. Cook in the crockpot all day on low. Then shred it while in the crockpot. The leftover chicken, I made into the next two meals after I used it for the tacos: SECOND meal: Mexican Skillet Delicioso (recipe on our blog) THIRD meal: Tortilla Soup Shredded Chicken (2-3 cups) Can of nacho cheese Can of Cheddar Cheese Can of Cream of Chicken Soup Jar of Salsa Jar of water (used Salsa jar) Can of enchilada sauce Served them all with tortilla chips and fixings! So delicious and really only one day of 'real' cooking - only because I usually think t

Chicken Pot Pie By: Lindsey

This is not a fancy recipe for chicken pot pie. But, you know...we don't do too many fancy recipes on here do we? No...because we have KIDS! This is tasty and maybe a good way to get your kids to eat some veggies. Even if they are coated with cream of chicken soup and cheese. Right? ha! 2-3 boneless chicken breast, cubed 4-8oz. sharp cheddar cheese 1 can veg all(big can), drained 1 can cream of chicken soup 2 pie crust(frozen) Mix all 4 ingredients. Pour in one pie crust. Put the other pie crust upside down on top. Bake at 350 for 30-45 min or until golden brown. *I usually make 2 pot pies instead of 1 because this recipe makes a lot of filling*

Chicken Casserole By: Lindsey

This recipe is so common I am not even sure if I should post it. However, if you do not have a recipe for this or have never had it you have GOT to try it. Such a Southern recipe. Grew up having it and everyone in college made it. Ha! 3 sleeves Ritz Crackers 4 or 5 boneless chicken breast 1 can cream of mushroom soup 1 can cream of chicken soup 8 oz sour cream 1 stick butter Melt 1/2 stick butter in 9x13 dish. Crush 1 1/2 sleeves of crackers and pour into butter. Stir and spread over bottom of dish. Shred COOKED chicken(boil it to cook it) and layer over crackers. Mix sour cream and both soups together and pour over chicken. Melt 1/2 stick of butter in a mixing bowl. Crush remaining crackers and add to butter. Stir until mixed well then add to top of casserole. Bake at 350 for 45 minutes or until golden brown.

Chili By: Lindsey

My mom has made this for us for forever and it is so good. She also makes peanut butter and syrup(Kyro sp?) sandwiches with it. Which goes great together. 1 packet of Chilio or McCormik chili mix 2 cans hot chili beans(or pinto beans bc it is hard to find chili beans) 1 can tomato sauce(Hunts 16 oz.) 1 can diced regular tomatoes(I use 2 cans) 1/2 cup Ketchup 1 lb. hamburger meat Cook your hamburger meat.

Squash Casserole By: Lindsey

My Dad brought home lots of squash from a neighbor in Alabama. So, my husband(who is a great cook) threw some on the skillet and did something "magical" and voila...they were yum-o! Sorry, don't have that recipe...however, he asked me to make squash casserole one night. I had never made squash casserole so I busted out the southern(aka Georgia...Voice of Truth...Irwinton) cookbooks and started a search. Wow! Who knew there were SO many ways to make squash casserole. I picked one that seemed the easiest and least expensive and it was AMAZING! I didn't think the recipe looked that great but I tried it anyways. Boy, was I wrong! It does have a strong onion taste...however, you can add as much onions as you want. Ok, try it! 2 cups squash(cooked) -----I did three cups 1 cup onion(chopped) 3/4 cup butter 2 eggs 1 tsp. salt 1/2 tsp. black pepper 1 cup grated cheese(any kind) 2 cup Ritz Crackers(crushed) ------I did wheat ritz crackers 1 cup evaporated milk Melt but
