Something Sweet

Looking for something sweet??? Try good ol' fashion southern teacakes. The ingredients are simple and you can make a batch in no time. Perfect on a warm day with lemonade!

Teacakes

2 cups flour, self rising
1 cup sugar
1 cup crisco
1 egg
1 1/2 teaspoons sugar

Mix all ingredients together. Place on greased baking sheet - I use a small ice cream scoop to portion out cookies. Bake @ 350 for 10-12 minutes.

Easy Chicken Pot Pie

Chicken Pot Pie

1 1/2 chicken breasts , shredded

1 can cream of chicken soup

1 can homestyle veg-all, drain but save juice

1 "unroll and bake" pie crust

Mix chicken, soup and veg-all. Add enough broth or juice form veg-all to thin out (I add back most of the juice from the veg-all plus 1/4 cup of broth). Add salt and pepper to taste.

Pour mixture into pie dish. Unroll crust and crimp edges. Cut slits in the top to allow steam to escape. Bake @ 350 for 45 minutes or until crust is brown.

Dinner...

What in the world am I going to come up with for dinner??? I am trying to save every penny I can because we are going to Disney World in May. I have some boneless chicken breasts laid out and I have actualy put them in the crock pot to cook. I'm thinking I may turn it into chicken pot pie. I have the easiest recipe ever and I will post it later this afternoon while I'm cooking it.

Speaking of the crock pot - I stumbled on a website where someone was using their crockpot everyday! How crazy is that... Go to http://crockpot365.blogspot.com/ to check it out.

So here we go...

Welcome to my blog...it is what it is. My life as a real woman, a real wife and a real mom.

Do you ever fell like you life is spinning and you just want to stop and take it all in...then this is the place for you. I often feel that I get so wrapped up in life that I just never get a chance to take it all in. I came across Blogger and thought this would be a great way to do so.

So what is my blog all about? Me of course! I'm a woman, a wife and a mom. I love to read, cook, craft and shop (for a good deal of course). Be patient and follow me into this wonderful adventure of my life...
