Meet Moe! aka Moe monster, Moester, fatty, fluffy, etc etc! I thought I’d post a picture or two of our “child” 🙂In the first picture, I found him hiding under the dining room table in his favorite chair.
Here, I’d interrupted a leg bath and he was a lil annoyed with me.
Moe LOVES the penguin fleece blanket and especially if he can also cuddle with his mom!
Chicken Cranberry Ranch
This has quickly become one of Jason & I’s favorite recipes. I can’t remember who posted it first on the nest, but I’m so glad they did!
Ingredients
boneless, skinless chicken breasts cut into bite-sized pieces
can of whole cranberry jelly
1/2 jar of ranch dressing (I just squeeze until the mixture is pink)
1 packet of dry onion soup mix
Directions
preheat oven to 350 degrees.
mix the onion soup mix, ranch & cranberry jelly in a small bowl.
cut up the chicken. mix in the bowl.
pour into 9×13 and bake for 1 hr.
We usually serve this over brown rice. The original recipe is for up to 3 or more lbs of chicken but I usually make it with about a lb and just pour the rest of the sauce over the rice. Enjoy!
Wideacre
I found this book at the library. I have really enjoyed reading Philippa Gregory’s The Other Boylen Girl & The Constance Princess, so I thought I’d start the beginning of the trilogy. I told a co-worker I was reading this and she warned me that it was really bizarre. She was RIGHT! It was more than a lil too incestual for me, but I was still interested in the overall story. I was very happy to finish it last night, but of course now I want to see what happens to the characters (the children from Wideacre), so I’ll probably start The Favored Child tonight. Happy reading!
Banana Creme Bundt Cake
I found this recipe on recipezaar last week and my mom & I made it over the weekend! So yummy & moist! We added an extra banana and less pecans b/c I don’t love nuts in cakes.
