I'm making Karla's creamy Italian chicken tonight! It sounds so good- I can't wait to try it! :)

[KarlaB]

Hope you like it Jen!! :)

Dh has practice until 5:30, he and youngest ds go to the firestation at 6, and oldest ds and I have haircuts at 6, so I think it'll be leftover soup for us! :drool:

I froze the rest of Angie's pork loin, so I am turning that into shredded barbecue pork sandwiches.

Let's see, I am cooking for two other families tonight. One is my neighbor. She finally comes home from the hospital. The other is a family from Church who has had a death in the family.

I shall make Mac N Cheese with ground hamburger for the family with the death. Jello, and salad. (They have a young son 2 yrs.)

For my neighbor - I am thinking about Nacho Potato Soup with a salad. (I will call first to see if there is any restrictions on her diet)

For us - Hopefully left-overs from one of the above meals.


Last night I did broil the steaks, fried potatos and onions, and a salad. (Steak wasn't so great, but it was ok!!)

We are having Karla's chicken too! I came home at noon and put it in the crock pot...then after school added the soup/cream cheese. It sure smells good! :drool: I am going to cook some broad noodles to serve with it.

Since I was home today I made some garlic herb bread in the bread machine. One of my students gave me an assortment of bread mixes for Christmas. It was scrumptious. Also some minestrone soup. Dh and ds have gone to church. I decided to stay home since I had no makeup on. Thought I'd check in here, then it's back to the heating pad and the couch.

I can't wait to try the creamy Italian Chicken. Right now all I have is a cut up fryer or I'd have made it today. Also have no noodles and we had rice last night.

1 pkg of au gratin potatos and mix

Sounds easy and good. I'll have to make it one night when dh is home for dinner. I think he'd really like it.

I loved it. My ds is funny, he's picky about the way that things look- he said "it looks like throw up, but it does taste good!" Boys I tell ya! I made both rice and noodles. Dks wanted the rice and I knew that dh would want noodles with his left overs. I tried both and I liked it with noodles the best. Dd liked it too and even got seconds.

Thank you Karla- it was a success in our house and will definitely be made again!

[KarlaB]

Darlene and Jen ~ Glad you liked it!! :yippee:

Jen ~ LOL about your ds! I've never tried it on rice...maybe one of these days. :)
