creamy creasent chicken

Sorry about the no picture on this post. im working on the tablet charger finding. My downstairs neigbhbor was making creamy beef gravey for cresant rolls and i had chicken on hand from a chicken Mr. Wonderful had gotten in the fridge.

creamy cresant chicken
2 cups cooked shredded chicken
2 packages cresant rolls
1 cup of cheese
a can of cream of mushroom soup
a can of cream of chicken soup

Start by unrolling the rolls. Place a little bit of chicken in each followed by a little cheese. Roll them up keeping filling inside. Bake for ten minutes at 350. Stir together two soups and pour on top of rolls and cook 10 more minutes. sprinkle remaining cheese on top and bake ten more minutes. serve and enjoy.



Mr. Wonderful ate almost the whole pan by himself and said he loved it. Itty bitty ate quite abit and seemed to really enjoy it. I think it needs something added to it so am going to keep working on tweaking it a little each time i make it.

hey yall

hi guys, who ever it is who reads my little slice of the bloggers sphere. i promise once i find my charger for the tablet to post more food. i am using our smart tv right now and can not post pictures through it. we moved 4 hours from were we have been living the last year. back to mr. wonderfuls hometown of quincy il.

we moved in march and sadly to say are not completly organized yet. working on it slowly and surely, we get there soon. he started work at an auction house and property manger of apartments and is always busy working. i just started baby sitting the little neighbor boy. we are both busy.....itty bitty is 20 months and the time is sure flying by fast as heck.....


it has pretty much rained here non stop for a month and we are all sick of it. to much flooding around here for our liking and plus i cant smell the dirt. i love the smell of dirt in the spring. it reminds me of home and the sound of tractors in the drive way.

well off to make meatballs for supper. hope to be posting for yall really soon. have a happy spring and try to stay dry as you can.

Gerneral tsos beef stir fry

So I tried post two blogs last night and both keep saying failed. I have no idea what's going on with it. We made a trip to Quincy as I told you and had so many problems I didn't really feel up to cooking. Someone had the awesome Idea to make a trip to Woodmans and get some sushi. We did that and ended up with a 12 pack of each California rolls and crunch rolls. They were so good. His had spice already and were topped with fried onion things. Sooo good. That made me decide it was a Chinese buffet dinner night at home. Of to the Oriental sle I went. We found a gerenral tsos sauce and decided that's what we could have. I have it with chicken all the time when we go to the buffet but decided to try it with beef. Its Mr. Wonderful favorite thing at the buffet, mine is crab legs when they are there. Itty Bitty will eat anything we put in front of her, well try it twice at least. That's why I love any type of buffet for that reason. So much to choose from. So back to the oriental isle. We got the sauce and then found extra thin egg noodles and soy sauce and we had our meal picked out.
General tsos beef stir fry
1 lb beef stir fry strips
1/2 bottle general tsos sauce
1/2 pkg extra thin egg noodles

Cut 1/  the beef into bit size pieces and the other half just cut in half
Pour 1/4 the half a bottle into a fry pan and another 1/4 in a pan and cook at 350 10 min or until cooked
Meanwhile cook the noodles according to package
Drain noodles and add rest of sauce
Mix the two meats together and add to noodle and mix and enjoy:-)

This is how my itty Bitty passed out:-) 

Two egg recipes:-)

Its been awhile. We got stuck in a snow storm all of last week and I've been a bit lazy:-)  you know cabin fever. We made a trip to Quincy which was good and bad. Our front drive shaft went out while driving, huge snow storm, bald tires, and getting scamed all in one week. I'm just glad to be home in my own bed.

Balsamic sour cream chicken

Today was a fun day. My itty wouldn't go to sleep last night and was up until the wee hours of the night. So I again am off our sleep schedule and i don't like it at all. I liked her going to bed earlier so we had time to hang out alone and watch movies. But alast we will get back on again, we always do. I'll just have some really long nights and days for a bit. We spent the day cleaning house and watching the Narnia movies over and over. Now I'm watching alone and she's playing with her house and Mr. Wonderful is playing video games. We are getting ready to watch Kill Bill volume one when he comes back down and I clean up the kitchen. Supper tonight was starting out as balsamic chicken and rice but Mr. Wonderful wanted potatoes so I changed it a little. I'm also going to share the two recipes that Mr. Wonderful made this afternoon while I napped. So I woke up to awesomness.
Balsamic sour cream chicken
1/4c oil
1/2 c balsmic
8 oz sour cream
1/2 lb mushrooms
1/2 yellow onion
3 chicken tenderloins
Handful bacon bits

Cut both mushrooms and onion up into small bit size pieces or you can leave mushrooms big your choice:-)
Mix them in a pan with oil
mix balsac and sour cream together
Mix mushrooms  with sour cream mixture
Place chicken in bottom of pan
Top with sour cream mixture
Sprinkle bacon bits on top
Cook 350 for 25-30 mins or until chicken cooked

I took mine out and shredded it and put it on top of a baked potatoe that was seasoned with butter, salt, pepper, more sour cream, and season salt and cheese.
I want to try it cooked with pasta next time. I think it would be good.

Seasoned mushrooms
1/2 lb mushrooms
1/4 c soy sauce
1/4 white wine
1/2 tsp season salt
1/2 c butter
Melt butter and mix in all other ingredients
Cook on high until mushrooms are brown and enjoy
*eat on steak, potatoes, chicken, or in the case today alone:-)

Baked ice cream bowl
3 soft taco shells
2 tbs sugar
2 tbs cinamon
2 tbs butter
2 tbs brown sugar

Spread butter on shells
Mix sugar and cinnimon together
Sprinkle with suar mixture
Spinkle brown sugar on them
Place in a oven safe bowl
Bake at 350 until the stars carmelize
Take out and add ice cream and enjoy:-) :-)

It was a nice surprise to wake up to both those snacks when we woke up. He did a good job and its not even v-day yet. He has his work cut out for himself now to top that for the 14 th. But hell do it he always surprises me. Well time for Kill Bill for the first time. Hoping its good.

Beef stir fry:-)

Its been awhile, again. We were lucky enough to get to go out to eat with family to Olive Garden. We stuffed our bellies until they treated to explode. I got the three course meal and let Mr. Wonderful have my dessert, he had a dessert coffee. What a nerd:-)  my itty Bitty stuffed herself on breadsticks and some of my amazing soup so she got left overs of hers the next day. If you haven't already get the hanging with friends app and add me, it Jamie G:-)  we got to meet my new month old nephew the other day as well, his name is Adam and he is the cutest thing. I miss my itty Bitty being that little. Time for another one? I want a baby soon, but not for awhile. I love family time. I haven't seen my sisters in Yeats and it was nice to see them again. We had quite the mix of food that day:-)  fruits, salad, pizza, goat cheese and crackers, olives, and chips and salsa.
I finally talked, more like forced, Mr. Wonderful into going to a shop here called Woodman's and I literally almost had a heart attack walking into there. There was so many isle and so much food. Its the new place for us to get food. I got itty Bitty a box of chicken nuggets and corn dogs mixed for like 5. Its basically a Sam's club that you don't have to pay yearly to use. Its buying in bulk:-)  ok ok on to the food.
Beef stir fry
1 lb stir fry beef ( I cut them into small pieces)
1 pkg rice sticks ( its a type of rice noodle in Oriental section)
1/2 cup butter
1/4 c oil
1/2 lb mushrooms cut up
1 c soy sauce
1 clove garlic
1/2 c terikya sauce
Cut the beef into bit size pieces
Place the noodles in hot water and soak 10 minutes

Spinkle them with a little bit of  corn stark to help them form a carmaly crust on outside
Put a little bit of oil in bottom of a fry pan and add the butter
Add the beef and mushrooms and cook a little
Add the soy sauce and keep cooking
Once noodles are soft and pliable take out of water and cut in half
add them to beef and mushroom
Add tereyka and stir and enjoy:-)

My itty Bitty really liked it, I wish the noodles the self had more flavor but I liked it. Mr. Wonderful didn't really eat it but he'd been eating all day. He found sushi and ate it all day. Happy eating.

Ooo it was itty Bitty first taste of cotten candy. She of course loved it:-) :-) :-)

Mr Wonderful cooked:-)

I turned out to have a server kidney infection, so I'm supposed to take it easy and take my pills. It doesn't seem to be getting any better though so i might have to make a trip back to the doctors. Guess we will see what happens in the next couple days. Its no fun being sick and taking care of a 17 month old, but she's been doing pretty good so I can't really complain. She comes and grabs my face to give me a kiss and she's cuddling me more then normal:-)  hopefully I can start feeling better so I can get her outside to play in the snow. She's been itching to since it snowed again. On to the wonderful meal my love made us yesterday. I have no idea what to call it, the picture does not do this justice. It literally was so so good, I couldn't stop complmating him. 
Mr. Wonderful meal:-)
3 bràts cut
1 tbs BBQ seasoning
1/2 tsp pepper
1/4 c olive oil
3-4 potatoes
1 c shredded cheese( we used a Mexican mix)
BBQ to garnish

Cut up the bràts into rounds and put them into a pan that has olive oil in it. Season with BBQ seasoning a pepper
Cook at 425 for 15 minutes or until cooked
Take 1/4 c cheese and mix it into the hot bràts
Cook the potatoes either into mashed potatoes or backed
( we baked them and then skined them and made mash potatoes out of them, we just used butter, salt, and pepper but make them how you would normally)
Make the bràts in to a evenish place to place the potatoes on and then top with the remaining cheese and place back in oven to melt cheese
Scoop it out and garnish with more BBQ

We made ours with a side of corn and I mixed mine in to he other and it was so good. My itty thought it was a bit spicy for her liking but ate the corn like crazy, its good corn not from a can. My mom and sister spent hours in the summer frezzing it so its so good.

On that note I need a nap:-)  have a good day

Ill be back

I am feeling a bit under the weather,well alot under the weather so Mr wonderful is in charge of supper. So you know what that, means. Ramon noodles and eggs. I'll be posting again soon when I figure out what's the matter.

Chicken parm

I know I know I need to get better at taking pictures. I'm working on it honest. There is not much ample lighting in this apartment. And we eat later at night when my husband gets off work. Maybe I'll make him get brighter light bulbs and see if that helps:-)  I asked Mr. Wonderful which he'd rather have for supper, chicken park or my take on an open face sandwich, we can clearly see the winner winner chicken dinner. Anything for him since he is at work all day trying to sell cars. I'm making the open face sandwiches tomorrow then because that's what I am wanting. Its my favorite thing to get at sit down joints. I'm watching a scary little kids movie on Netflix but my daughter loves it. On that note if your big into scary movies rent/borrow The Posession.  We had our power out at 10 last night and it came on at 3 this morning and we had the house lit like a Christmas tree when the power came back on waking us up so we decided to watch the movie Mr. Wonderful rent. Bad bad idea. I couldn't go back to sleep and I'm no were near young enough to be that scared of a movie. Anyway watch it its good. Back to the food, sorry for my tangent..I guess I should say I'm feeding two grown ups and a baby so you can couple, triple whatever you need to.
Chicken parm
1 skinless boneless chicken breast
2 tbs Chicken rib rub
1/2 c Breadcrumbs
1/2 lb spag noodles
Olive oil
1 tsb White wine
Jar of your fav sauce
Parm cheese

Take you chicken breast and split into three ( for this I took and split the chicken to make it thiner so length wise into thirds)
Cut the chicken up into bit size pieces
Mix 1 tbs chicken rub with breadcrumbs and coat chicken
Get enough olive oil to coat the bottom of the pan. Add in the white wine before you heat the oil I did it after on a whim and it smoked and spit oil everywhere
Cook the chicken to brown the breadcrumbs and then add half the jar of spag sauce
Cook the noodle until al dente and reserve and pour 1/4 cup starch noodle water into the chicken sauce mixture
Drain the noodles and add 1 tbs chicken rub to them and pour into the sauce mixture and mix up
Now its time to put as much parm cheese you want and enjoy:-) 
My husband always adds more sauce because I don't like it as much hence the whole jar:-)

My itty really liked the chicken this time and it was good for me but Mr. Wonderful loved it and ate it on bread:-)

Chicken and Dumplings:-)

My love had to work a long shift today. 8:30 this morning until 9 tonight so I did some light cleaning around the house, but my itty already got everything dirty looking again. I guess its ok though because she helped me make the dumplings for our meal. Se did a good job:-)  a good job making a mess as you can see. After I made the dumplings she put the empty flour bowl on her head. She definatly knows how to make me giggle like a little school girl. Which is sad since I'm way out of school. I don't know what I'd do without her in my life well with out her or her daddy. But that's another post:-)  this was a very easy meal to make and took no time at all and hit the spot, a good stick to your ribs soup.
chicken and dumplings
1 skinless boneless chicken breast
2 tbs chicken stock boulion
2 cups of water

Boil the chicken in the water and boulion mixed together. Boil until the chicken is cooked through and then shredd it up. Place it back into the stock water. I added about a tbs more chicken boulion. And a cup more water at this time

Dumplings
1 1/2 c self rising flour
1 tbs veg oil
1 tsp seasoning salt( I like Weber)
Water

I know there's no measurement for the water, I used one of my tea cups.
Mix all ingredients until its not sticky and there's no more flour on the outside of the dough
Pinch of little bits of dough depending how big and how many dumplings you want.
roll them nto balls and add them to chicken and stock
Place the lid onto pan and let the little guys simmer about 3-4 minutes
At the end add a little bit of cornstarch mixed with water if you want it a bit thicker. I did this to make
More of a broth/gravey so my itty had an easier time eating it.

She loved the chicken and broth/gravyd had fun squishing the dumplings before eating them.
We also add pepper to our own because I like mine hot hot and itty does not:-)  daddy hasn't had his yet because he's still at work. To bad for him:-)

Mini chicken potpies

More chicken. I just realized I did two post tonight the one with chessey chicken was supper last night and this was tonights. We were to busy sneaking snacks in after my itty went to bed and watching the first season of American Horror Story on Netflix. Today was my huwbands first Sunday off in a long time and we wanted to go to church but it was raining and turning really icy out so we stayed in today and cuddled and watched movies. I should have cleaned but I took the day off and the house looks like I never clean, which isn't true I cleaned on saturday, the other two are messy little trolls. I wanted something easy to pick up and eat and healthy so i decided on mini chicken potpies. We were have a movie night/day and were going to eat in front of the TV like a drive in. I made the main course and my wonderful husband made some pretty wicked potatoes to go along with them. My itty loved both and also the awesome tea her daddy mixed up. It taste like an apple cider which is good since I hate that Liptons lemon ice tea. I love straight up black hot tea.

Mini chicken pot pies
1 chicken breast
2 tbls chicken boulion
2 cups water
1/2 pkg frozen mixed veggies( mine was carrots, peas, carrots, green beans, and carrots)
2 cups Pancake mix( mine was the aldis brand)
3/4 cup milk( or less just until dough is sticky and well mixed)
1/2 tsb season salt

Mix chicken boulion with water and boil chicken until cooked. Shredd with a fork and place back into water. Thicken it a little bit with water mixed with corn starch. Take a muffin tin and spray lightlt with PAM. Place mixed veggies in bottom of each well followed by chicken and the sauce it cooked in. Mixed pancake mix with the milk until blended and place a spoonful on top and spread to the corner of each well. Sprinkle season salt on each in turn. Bake at 375 10-15 minutes or until the tops are golden brown.

My husbands potatoes
3-4 large potatoes
PAM
1 1/2 tbs adobo
1 1/2 tbs webers classic BBQ seasoning
1/4 c BBQ sauce
1/4 c ranch dressing ( next time we are trying avacado ranch)
1/4 c hot wing sauce

Cut potatoes 1/2 inch thick circles and place in baking dish. Spray them with PAM ( he said its better for us then butter so I went with it ;)) sprinkle with both adobo and BBQ seasoning. Cook at 375 20-25 minutes or until tender. Place them on the serving diah and one at a time pour the ranch, BBQ, and wing sauce over the top and enjoy.

Next time I make the pot pies I think I'm going to put dough at the bottom first and then the stuff and more dough on top so I'd have to couple the recipe. This is because all the good sauce stayed at the bottom of each well and I had to spoon it out. I also think one made with beef would be good to so I'll try that as well.

Ooya that tea I'm obsessed with. Its the liptons lemon ice tea and my wonderful husband adds ground cinninmon to it and its so darn good. Itty loves it. That's her eating her amazing dinner while watching Four Brothers with us:-) 

Chessey spinach stuffed chicken

I had the wonderful husband stop and pick up some chicken breast on his way home from work for something other then bràts and beef. We been having a lot of red meat lately and my ityy( who is in the pictures:-))  needs lean protein some times so chicken it was. I make an awesome chicken dish called balsamic mushroom chicken but I did not realize I was out of balsamic so I came up with this little jem. I wanted to use pepper jack cheese but the wonderful man I call husband accidently got me motzeralla and i had to make due. Next time I'll use peper jack and then I'm thinking provalone and maybe Swiss and chedder. I'll keep you updated:-)  I would use a little more cheese as well but the itty and wonderful ate most of it before I got a chance to put it in the meal. The little sneaks that they are.
I have also watched " The Lorax" and every Tinklebell movie on Netflix over and over and am watching Tinklebell right now waiting for itty to go to bed. We finally( fingers crossed) got her on a good sleep schedule. We are night owls all of us and she's been going to bed at 2 -3 in the morning and waking up at maybe 7 then back to sleep at noon til 6 or 7 at night. That's been our schedule for awhile then all of a sudden its been 9 at night til 7:30 then nap at 12 til 2 or three then bed at 9. We love it because we finally have some us time til we hit the sack around 12.
Any way we had the chicken with stuffing( both itty and loves favorite thing), and oven potatoes. The stuffing was just from a box, I'm to chicken to try my own as of yet.
Chessey spinach chicken
2 skinless chicken breast
Half can of spinach( get as much liquid out)
Half pound of cheese( your choice)
Salt and peper
Season salt

Cut a pocket into each chin breast and season all over including the pocket. Cut the cheese and put some in each pocket and top with the spinach and then more cheese. Bake at 350 for 15-20 mins depending on your chickens thickness. Cook until Chen cooked through and enjoy.

Oven potatoes
3- 4 big  potatoes ( my rule one each plus one for pan)
1/2 cup butter melted
1/2 tbs Season salt
1/2 tbs Adobo seasoning

Cut the potatoes about 1/2 inch circles and place in pan. Melt the butter and mix in seasonings. Pour over potatoes and cook 375 15 minutes or until potatoes tender and enjoy.

******Side note: I think I'm going to use fresh spinach next time:-)

Supper January 23

I opened a 6 pack of bràts and tried them two ways, normal and as a soup/jumbo. I have become highly obsesed with saurkrat and could eat it all the time. I hated it until my husband started eating it for his diet to bulk up and I tried it. I could it eat it snack on it all day and night if i could and my love didn't think it smelled weird. For my normal bràt I just put it on a whole wheat bread and added saurkrat and spicy mustard. My husband had added sweet baby rays baffalo wing sauce, ketchup, and sweet baby rays BBQ. I know, I know we are weird. For the jumbo I took three bràts and cut them up and added them in a slow cooker with the new Progressive tomato started soup/sauce. Which are so good so you should buy some, all of the flavors. I liked the mushroom so much and had it over pork chops. I still haven't tried the cheese but plan to with some sort of potato something. Then right before I served it I put cooked rice in the bottom of the bowl and placed the jumbo on top. I hate really soggy rice. The bread I made I want share the recipe because its not how I wanted it so I'll have to wait til I get it right, sorry:-)   then I made chocolate cookie dough brownie cupcakes. We had one box of brownies and a little of the toll house chocolate chip cookie sough to use up so I place a small ball of the cookie dough into the muffin tin and topped it with brownie battwr and cooked it to the boxes specifications. All in all a really good supper:-)

Homemade syurp

Please excuse the mess on my stove. I've been a bit busy today making a few things. This is one thing I made. Homemade syurp for pancakes and waffles or in my case buttermilk biscusts. I asked my mom her recipe and realized I didn't have all the ingredients so i came up with my own. It turned out so good. Moms are the best when your in a crunch on something you want to make. She always knows what to do. I'm making cookie dough brownies as we speak and I'll post those today sometime to as well as what I'm making for supper if it turns out, fingers crossed. Its so different with Stephens new job because he on a pretty set schedule and I love that he is. My little cracker jack is starting to go to bed at the same time every night which is wonderful other then the four thirty wake up call.
at the moment she got a hold of an old box of noodles that I'll never use( because I hate whole wheat paste) and dumped it on her bed and is rolling in it:-)  she is a fun little thing let me tell you.
Homemade syurp ( my way)
1 c water
1 c light corn syurp
3/4 c white sugar
1/4 c brown sugar
Mix all ingredients in a sauce pan and boil until sugar is dissolved.
let cool a little bit before pouring into plastic bottle and enjoy

Homemade syurp(moms way)
1 c water
1 c white sugar
1 c white syurp
2 tbs maple flavoring
Mix all ingredients and boil until sugar dissolved.
let cool before putting in bottle and enjoy

Sweet and spicy ground beef

I am running low on ideas for supper for they last couple of nights. We finally just got internet back after a month so I've been going crazy. No Facebook or texting because I use a tablet because we have only one phone which my husband always has. We are in the middle of a job change for my husband. He started at a car dealership today and I hope it goes really well. My little peanut is growing faster and faster and loves almost everything I make her:-)  Supper tonight I wanted something Asian style because we went to a Chinese buffet for our two year anniversy and it wasn't good at all really. So i am making up for it by making it at home and I just happened to have a pound of cooked crumbled ground beef to use up.
Sweet and spicy ground beef
1 lb ground beef
1 tsp seasme oil
1 tsp garlic powder( probably could use frsh garlic, I just didn't have any)
1/2 c brown sugar
1/4 c soy sauce
Enough crushed red pepper flakes to make it as spicy as you want
1/4 tsp ginger
1 tbs beef boulian

Brown beef with the oil and garlic and drain when cooked through.
Add the remaining ingredients and cook
I added a little bit of constach mixed with water to thicken it a bit
Serve over rice and enjoy

I am completely obsesed with Orrington Farms broth base& seasoning in both beef and chicken flavor. I have been making the chicken and just drinking it as a throut soother as everyone here got influneza a & b strands of it. Also as the seasoning in my Ramoen noodles. Well time to put my itty to bed. Have a good day y'all
