Crock pot Hawiian BBQ Chicken

 What you need:

-4 Chicken breasts (or 5 Chicken Thighs, I used what I had in the freezer)

-Target brand Sweet Pineapple

-1 20oz can of pineapple

Put everything in the crockpot for either 2 1/2 hours on high (checking every 45 minutes to see if it's done)

or 5-6 hours on low



Idea for this lovely meal is from

Six Sisters Stuff.

Creamy Chicken With Rice

This dinner was alright.

In the future I will be making some tweaks so here are the tweaks i'd make so you can enjoy it more then my husband and I did.

- 1 onion finely chopped(original recipe has it in large pieces)

- 4-5 chicken breasts( I used 5 thighs)

-2/3rds of a bag of frozen corn

- 1 can cream of chicken soup

- 1 bag of shredded chedder cheese

- 1 box of yellow rice

So I love the taste of seasonings and this recipe needs something, If you know what it is please do tell!

I didn't take a final picture but for the next time I make it I will put that up!

U S A boxes

So my idea started with wanting little blocks of wood but I couldn't find any at home depot.

So the default was go to Hobby Lobby and see what they have.

I saw some little cardboard boxes and had a battle with myself if I wanted to spend 2 bucks on each box....

As you see my saving savvy side didn't win.

What you need:

- 3 boxes/pieces of wood/or whatever you would like to use =)

- red white and blue paint (make sure it's all acrylic or metallic, I have 2 acrylic and 1 metallic.. it worked out alright but just make sure!)

- Letter stencils (or if you're awesome at free handing go for it!)

- Painting utensils 

I tried to spray paint the "U" on and I gave up very quickly when only one small piece of my "U" made it out alive.. It looked like somthing had died on the front of the box with red every where.

Becuase of the Metallic paint i decided to create a messy look on the boxes.

It turned out well.

TA-DA!

I love celebrating the 4th of July a month early! haha

(I just say I put it up for memorial day which is just as important!!)

America Wreath

Well my mom saw my wreath and asked for one but since we both live in the same house I thought we should make her one of her own!

So we went to Hobby Lobby and she picked out a bunch of fun sparkly materials(which she loves) and I brought them all home and put them in groups and started putting them on the wreath.

There it is!

It suits my mom's personality, all sparkly and bright.

I believe I will be making another wreath for my sister for her Bunco night so another will be up in the next couple weeks!

Thanks for reading!

Creamy Chicken Pasta

This is a recipe I tried from pinterest a while ago.
It has good flavor to it and a little spice from the green chilie tomatoes.

These are all ingrediants I had in my cupboard already so I whipped it up quick for a late dinner.

Need:
8 ounces pasta of choice(the regular recipe says angel hair but it doesn't matter)
2 cups chopped grilled chicken(or canned for quick and easy)
1 (10 3/4 oz) can cream of mushroom soup
1(10 3/4 oz) can cream of chicken soup
1 can (10 oz) of Diced tomatoes with green chilies undrained
8 ounces sour cream
Sprinkle mexican blend cheese on top.

Preheat Oven to 350

Boil Pasta as package directs and drain. Mix all ingrediants except the cheese together.

Add ingrediants to cooked pasta and put in 9x13 pan.

Cover with foil

Bake for 30 minutes or until hot and bubbly.

Then take out of the oven and sprinkle cheese ontop and return to oven until melted

I didn't have Mexican Blend so I just used this cheese.

I was very lazy and very hungry that night so I mixed it in the pan I was baking it in..

Not the greatest picture haha but it tastes delicious!!

I've made this 3 times and one of the times I made it, it did not have enough noodles

so make sure if your do more creamy to do more noodles!!

Or it will taste like a creamy spicy mess.

Love Is Spoken Here

This idea came from one of the lovely ladies in my LDS(Morman) Ward.

I thought it looked cute and I love anything crafty so here it is...

If you choose to make this you will Need:

-2 Blocks

-Paint of your choice

-sticky letters(it started out with using letters from a cricket, but the letters were too sloppy)

-Spray paint color of your choice

I love the Antique look.

Red White & Blue wreath

I've been in a celebrate America mood so I saw the burlap type stuff at Hobby Lobby and bought some.

It was quick and easy to make.

What you need for this wreath:

-2 1/2 of the red white and blue material.

(if you like it more spread out then you will be safe with just two. Or possibly use a smaller hanger)

- 1 Metal Hanger bent into a circle.

How I got the ruffles was by folding it over and bunching it onto the hanger one piece at a time.

Or you could try bunching it all together before hand and put it on all at the same time.

But I liked one at a time so that I could see and control what it looks like at the end.

And there you go.

Any comments or questions give me a holler.

Lazy dinner ramen stir fry

One of my college friends introduced this to me. For those lazy days that you want more than just the same old same old this works perfectly

What you Need:

Preferred ramen flavor(I use chicken)

Preferred veggies

(I use carrots)

1 or 2 Eggs

How to:

Boil the noodles until done, then drain(don't add seasoning yet) then prepare your veggies for the stir fry I put my carrots in a bowl with some butter and put it in the microwave until soft, cook eggs add veggies to egg, or vice versa. Then add the noodles(it is better to have about 1/4 cup of water to keep it from getting too dry) Then add seasoning(for less sodium intake only add half the packet it taste just as good and is a bit healthier!) and there ya go. It's easy and quick.

Tortilla Soup

 jonandjenmiller.blogspot.com

2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
2 10oz cans of Ro-Tel (I like the lime & cilantro, but the regular is fine)
1 can black beans, rinsed and drained
1 can kidney beans, rinsed and drained
1 can corn or two cups frozen corn
1 onion, chopped
2 14.5oz cans low-sodium chicken broth
1-2 cups of water
1 Tbsp garlic powder*
1 Tbsp chile powder*

1 Tbsp ground cumin*
1 Tbsp dried cilantro

tortilla chips
sour cream
shredded cheddar or Mexican blend cheese
fresh cilantro

*Instead of these spices, you could include a packet of Taco seasoning if you prefer.*

Put chopped onion, cans of beans, rotel, corn, chicken broth, water, and spices in CrockPot and stir to mix. Put chicken breasts on top of mixture and make sure they're at least partly submerged in liquid. Cook on high 6-7 hours or low 8-9 hours. Before serving remove the chicken breasts from soup and shred, if needed, (sometimes they'll just fall apart on their own, but sometimes they need some help). Return chicken to CrockPot, stir to combine.

I made this a couple months ago and am just getting the pictures up!

Way slow I know!

It was Amazing but next time I make it I will be using less of all the spices.

They were really good but it was too "spicey" haha

Easy Easy Clean up I suggest getting crockpot liners!

Hope ya'll enjoy as much as my hubbs and I did! It was a great recipe!
