Christmas Cookie Cutout Kits

adminLeave a comment

This morning, during my trip to Aldi’s, I saw these cute cookie cutout kits at the checkout.

Ninjabread Cookie Cutouts!!

This kit caught my eye, it is soooo cute! I love gingerbread cookies. I don’t need a kit to make cookies, but I would buy it to have the cookie cutters for the future. I am hoping they have some kits left after Christmas so I can get one marked down.

Ugly Sweater Cookie Cutouts!!

One year, my cookie-making partner/sister got one of these kits through a fundraiser from a friend. They didn’t make a lot of cookies, but they were super fun to decorate. Also, again, now she has the cookie cutter to make as many ugly sweater cutouts she desires.

I don’t think I got any cutouts made last year. DD and I did some Spritz cookies and some toffee (I think). I have no idea what I will get done this year. I can’t seem to get my head truly into Christmas this year. Maybe some Ninjabread cutouts can help!

Have a lovely Thursday!

Slow Cooker Recipe – Creamy Italian Chicken

adminLeave a comment

Hello All!

I am updating a recipe I shared on my “Recipes” page. We eat “Creamy Italian Chicken” 3-4 times a month and it has changed a little since I posted it. It is such an easy and inexpensive dish to make. AND I think is absolutely delicious!

Creamy Italian Broccoli Chicken

Printable Version: Creamy Italian Broccoli Chicken – Slow Cooker

Creamy Italian Broccoli Chicken (slow cooker)

Ingredients (3 to 4 servings):

2 boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 1 lb.)
6 oz cream cheese
1 packet of Italian or Ranch dressing seasoning
1 – 10.5 oz can condensed Cream of Chicken soup
1 cup milk or water (1 canfull)
2 cups of chopped broccoli crowns

Directions:

1. Place chicken breasts in slow cooker. Put cubed cream cheese on top of chicken.
2. Mix milk, soup and dressing packets together, then pour over chicken.
3. Cook until no longer pink. 3-4 hours on high, or 7-8 hours on low.
4. Remove chicken from slow cooker and shred with forks.
5. Use a whisk to blend the chunky Cream cheese cubes into the soup mix. (The sauce may still be lumpy)
6. Add chopped broccoli to slow cooker and turn setting to high. (I prefer to steam broccoli separately.)
7. While broccoli is softening up, cook rice, quinoa, or pasta accordingly.
8. Serve chicken and broccoli over rice, quinoa, or pasta. (We like angel hair pasta!)

My family of three (Husband, Me, 5-yr old) eats half and freezes the other half for another meal. It stretches and is so good! Give it a try!

Happy Wednesday!

Stupid Chair!

Life is crazy busy right now with the holidays, work, family. One thing I DON’T need is my work chair messing with me. Lol! 🙂

As I sit sewing a sock monkey on my machine, my chair drops me down a tad bit. I stop, feeling the descent. I start sewing again. Boop! I drop down just a bit more. Now I KNOW I felt it that time. Ok, fine. Let’s get this monkey done, already. Boop! Boop! I am practically sitting on the floor now. For the love of Pete! One more distraction.

Stupid Chair!

Break over, that is my funny little rant for the day! Back to making sock monkeys.

Have a wonderful Thursday!
