So I have found myself being sucked back into playing games on facebook. This time its Words with Friends. I am starting to get obsessed with it like all of the other games I have played. I see lots of letters in my sleep: “kdalesabqurxt” and try to unscramble them to see what words I can come up with, and where I can fit them in on the boards. This is not what I want my sleep consisting of! I would much rather just have a peaceful nights sleep. Especially after the last two weeks of fitful sleeps I have had, due to the steroids the DR put me on from the allergic reaction I had.

With that said, I am off to go play a few rounds with friends, then it will be off to bed.

I found this recipe on pinterest. It turned out great, and will be added into regular rotation of my menu planning.

Chicken:
4 large chicken breasts
2 sleeves Ritz crackers
1/4 t salt
1/8 t pepper
1/2 C milk
3 C cheddar cheese, grated
1 t dried parsley

Sauce:
1 10 ounce can cream of chicken soup
2 T sour cream
2 T butter

Dip the chicken in the milk, then the cheese, then crackers. Cover the pan with tin foil and bake at 400 degrees for 35 minutes. Remove the tin foil, bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the edges of the chicken are golden brown and crispy.

Into a medium sized sauce pan combine the cream of chicken soup, sour cream and butter with a whisk. Stir it over medium high heat until the sauce is nice and hot. Serve over the chicken.

Yum!

We were talking last night at dinner, about things the kids liked when they were younger. Still unsure of how we got on this topic, but it was fun. Christopher mentioned how he liked yo-yo’s and how he always wanted to go to the yoyofactory to see how they made them. Trent pipes up and says, we can sent in a request to “How Its Made” to see if they will do a segment on yo-yo’s. Ya never know, as he did send in a request a while back to see how paddle locks were made, and they did grant that one.

So this got me into the search mode, so I went looking at things from my past on Pinterest of course! And the next thing I knew 3 hours had went on by. Such a time waster, but a fun way to pass the night away, while they watched football.

This is what I have been busy working on for the last few weeks.

Three more to go then I will be done! I am itching to get back to the socks I have been working on, as I want to wear them!!! I am excited to see what everyone thinks, as they are the first I have made, and hope to whip out more!
