Delicious Cheesy Chicken

Hello Everyone! I trust your day is going well so far and you are enjoying your day!

I decided it could be fun to try a few new recipes in the crock pot and started to research some when I came across the Cheesy Chicken and Rice on Ziplist.  If you have never used Ziplist before I would 100% recommend it.  You can search for recipes right on your phone app or on the Internet and if you like what you see, you can add the ingredients to your shopping list right there.  It definitely makes shopping and meal planning easier.

Here's how to make the recipe!

What You Need:

• 4 Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts
• 1 Large Onion chopped
• 1 8 oz box of Zatarans Yellow Rice Mix
• 1 cup Cheddar Cheese
• 1 10.5 oz can of Cream of Chicken Soup
• 1 15 oz can Whole Kernel Corn, drained

How to Make the Cheesy Chicken

Place your chicken in the crock pot and cover with the onions.  Cover your chicken and onions with the Cream of Chicken Soup mixture by putting spoonfuls of soup wherever the chicken is not covered.

Cook on high for 4-5 hours or on low for 7-8.

Cook your Zatarans Yellow Rice according to the packaging.  Once your rice is cooked, cover the chicken with your corn, cheddar cheese and yellow rice.

Cook for another 10 minutes or until the cheese is completely melted.  Shred your chicken and stir all of the ingredients together.  Serve hot and enjoy!

Overall this recipe was simple to make and it was very delicious! We will be enjoying this recipe in our house again!

Wedding Card Project

Happy Tuesday Afternoon Everyone! I hope you are having a wonderful day!

Last night I spent some time working on a project that has been a LONG time in the making.... at least a year...maybe more.  I saw this pin on Pinterest a long time ago and it immediately caught my attention.  The project? Wedding Card Organization.

We've had our wedding cards in Ziploc baggies for over a year and they were begging to be organized when we were cleaning out the guest bedroom over the weekend.

The best part about this project is you can do it with cards from any occasion: Birthdays, Bridal Shower, Baby Shower, Graduation... the list goes on.  It's a great way to keep the cards and be able to reread them whenever you feel like it.

What You Need:

• Your stack of your {wedding cards} removed from the envelopes
• Scissors
• Hole Punch
• Ribbon (or book rings if you choose)

How to Organize Your Cards:

• Pick any card from the pile and punch the holes in the card to your desired locations (mine are about 1/2" from the left and 4" apart.  I didn't want to them too far from the fold otherwise you won't be able to open the card
• Use your card first card as a guide and begin punching the rest of the cards to match your first card
• Once you have hole punched all of your cards, begin threading them onto your ribbon.  (I had to use ribbon because in order for me to get a book ring large enough, I would have spend $20.00+ on the two rings)
• Once you have strung all of your cards, tie your ribbon tightly in a bow and you are done!

Now you can have your cards organized and can put them on display if you so choose! 

Question of the Day:

What project are you working on?

Potted Potter

Happy Monday Everyone!

I trust you had an exciting weekend and enjoyed yourself! Our weekend was filled with adventures and organizing. 

On Saturday, Justin and I headed to Downtown Detroit to go see the play, Potted Potter.  I actually bought the tickets a long time ago for Justin as a Christmas gift and it was great finally being able to use them.  I honestly did not know what to expect with the play because it is not one of the major productions, but I can honestly say that I had a great time! 

We ended up going to Outback Steakhouse for dinner as a last minute option and it turned out to be pretty nice.

I had the fillet with the sweet potato and Justin had the house steak with mashed potatoes.  Overall, it was a very delicious meal!

After dinner, we rushed down to Detroit to catch the play.  I never realized how busy Detroit is on a Saturday night and due to the time constraint, we ended up running from our car to the theater.  We made it to the show just before curtain call and settled in for the excitement.

I absolutely loved this play.  It was only two men on the stage retelling the entire Harry Potter series in 70 (or so) minutes.  I can honestly say that I have not laughed that hard in quite some time.  My favorite part of the play was how much they interacted with the audience and how much they catered to the location they were in with jokes wittingly geared toward Detroit.

If you have a chance to see this play, I would take it.  Both Justin and I laughed hard and often and if that is your type of thing, make your way to Potted Potter.

Detroit is so beautiful at night and I have never really paid any attention to that until now.  It makes me sad that it is painted in a negative light.  I wonder what it was like when it was in it's prime days! It must have been wonderful.

Question of the Day:

What is your favorite play/musical?

I still think Wicked is my favorite, but Potted Potter is a close second!
