Almost a month in ....

Wow...hard to believe that we are almost a month into 2012 already. Since my last post I hosted Christmas for my family, hosted a New Yr's Eve celebration with some dear friends, celebrated my son's 9th birthday, went to the Bahamas for 5 days days sans children, celebrater my duaghter's 6th birthday, and to complete our whirlwind Janaury celebrated my husband's 34th birthday. WHEW! Who is worn down...THIS GIRL!
I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world but by the end of January I can hardly function!

So this week I've pulled out the old crockpot to help me with dinner. We are in the midst of swimming/diving season, dance, and basketball. By the time I get home from work some nights we barely have an hour before we have to walk right back out of the door. So I've decided to try and use my crock pot at least 2-3 times a week. Tonight's dinner is "Chicken in a Pot"

6 chicken breasts
1 envelope Italian dressing
6 oz. cream cheese
1 can cream of chicken or mushroom soup
4 oz. mushroom pieces


Cook chiekn sprinkled in dressing packet in crock pot for 6-8 hours on low. Do not add water. When done cooking, stir in rest of the ingredients, turn crock pot to high and heat through (about 30 minutes.) Serve of rice of noodles.

We will be eating ours over noodles since my husband and son don't eat rice.
