I was busy Monday & Tuesday. You already have seen the guest room redo. I’ve also been busy in the kitchen.
I was one of those crazy people who signed up for the “Pay It Forward in 2011” facebook thing. I hope I’ve got something coming from the talented Pami; I owe 5 now 4 friends homemade goodies. I made Eileen from work my “famous” oreo brownies Monday night. They were supposed to be for her family, but after coworkers heard they were at her desk, I think she only went home with half the pan! I also made a pan for us & half that pan {all those on the plate photo’d below} went to Jason’s work. Oh, and since I was making 2 8×8 pans instead of a 9×13 I used the whole thing of Oreo {half inside & half crumbled on top}.
For Monday dinner, I tried another of the Mable’s Meals recipes. This one called for four ingredients & said only took 20 minutes. And y’all, it got a thumbs up from Jason.
Cream of Mushroom Chicken
Ingredients
1 tbsp olive oil
1 c sliced mushrooms
4 chicken breasts (I used three)
1 can cream of mushroom soup
salt/pepper to taste
Heat oil {I did medium high} in medium skillet. Add chicken & saute covered for 4 minutes. Flip over chicken & continue cooking covered for another 3 minutes.
Lower heat {I lowered to medium}, add mushrooms, & continue cooking for another 2 minutes.
Add can of soup & stir well. Keep covered & simmer on low for 10 minutes {or until chicken no longer pink}; stirring occasionally.
We served over brown rice {but were too hungry & forgot to photo it plated} & had enough for Jason lunch leftovers!
Random Crockpot White Bean Chicken was dinner Tuesday & my lunch today.
Ingredients
3 chicken breasts
sliced mushrooms
can white beans, drained
2 cans diced tomatoes
We left in the crockpot all day on low. I shredded my chicken breast & topped with a little mozzarella cheese & ate like it was soup. Jason ate the chicken breast topped & sided with the soup.
Can’t help but end with a super cute Moe & hubby photo. This is Moe’s favorite sleep spot now~on & with a paw over Jason’s new chill pants!
