Good Evening!  It’s a late one, but it’s still Monday.  We are experiencing a nice little winter storm at the moment.  Looking to get about 3-5 inches of snow tonight.  Then more later on in the week.  We really haven’t had much snow, so I am enjoying it.

RECIPE I HAVE TRIED:

So I saw a recipe for Chicken Cordon Bleu.  It looked super delicious, but rather involved.  The video I saw of it, didn’t have the recipe written out, so I did a Google search to see if I could find it, and Google suggested a Chicken Cordon Bleu Casserole!  Yes please!!  I checked it out, and used the sauce recipe from the first one I saw, and this is what I came up with.  Super easy, very flavorful!!

Chicken Cordon Bleu Casserole

Cook 3 lbs Chicken in Crock Pot 3 to 4 hours

Season with:

1 t salt

1 t pepper

1 t Garlic Powder

1 t Onion Powder

Shred and layer at bottom of 9 x 13 Casserole dish

Dice ¼ lb. of ham (from the deli) and layer over chicken.

Sprinkle 1 ½ cups shredded Swiss Cheese over Ham

Prepare the Sauce:

3  T Butter

2  Garlic Gloves

3  T Flour

2  c milk

¼ c Dijon Mustard

1  c shredded Parmesan Cheese

Salt

Pepper

Melt butter, add flour until creamy.  Add milk until combined.  Add Dijon mustard, salt, pepper and parmesan cheese.  Stir until thick and creamy.

Pour sauce over the cheese layer

Topping:

1 ½ c Panko bread Crumbs

4 T Butter – melted

½ t Season Salt

Mix bread crumbs and season salt, add melted butter and mix together.  Sprinkle topping over the top of the sauce.

Bake at 350 for 30 minutes.  Serve with your favorite side dishes

FAVORITE VIDEO:

Always fun to watch.  My son shares these with me.  These are real shots, not a trick of the camera.  I read an article from a couple of years ago, that two of the 5 guys do this as a full time job.  Maybe by now they all do, but I enjoy watching them, and you can’t help but get excited when they land these crazy tricks.

WHAT’S HAPPENING:

Over the weekend my middle son Elijah turned 17!  He just loved the cake that my nephew had at his wedding, so I ordered his cake from the lady who made theirs.  It was delicious.  As they are getting older, it’s getting harder to coordinate everyone’s schedule to celebrate.  But he was able to have fun at the Youth Night at church.

Not much else going on.  I’ll be working on filing taxes for everyone, but that is actually something I enjoy doing and I’ll be doing some painting in the bathroom this weekend.

Good Evening!  Enjoying a 3 day weekend.  It has been very cold out here, but we did get some snow last night into this morning, not a lot but enough.  Over the weekend, the winds were very strong causing huge waves on the lake, so our beautiful park looks like the Hoth planet from Star Wars.  Me, Livi and Ben ventured out there today to look around.  Check out the video and pics below.  Stay warm and enjoy your week.

RECIPE I HAVE TRIED:

I made this the other night, and we had soup and sandwiches.  It has a good flavor, I would of liked it a little bit thicker, which is probably because I didn’t let it get thick enough.

 FAVORITE VIDEO:

While my daughter was taking pictures, I figured I’d make a little video as I walked around the park.

  WHAT’S HAPPENING:

I guess you can say I have officially started my book.  I plan to start with my own anthology of romantic stories.  I have joined Dan’s critique group and sent off several of my stories to start.  I will be writing new ones to add.  It’s just the beginning stages, but it is now a work in progress, and not just a thought

FAVORITE PIC(s) FROM THE CAMERA:

You might want to get some hot cocoa when looking at these, lol.  Mother nature amazes me.

This is where the swings hang from that I usually like to sit on in the summer.

My favorite birds, they looked so cold 😦

Good Morning!  Happy New Year!!  Hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season.  It seems like I’ve been gone forever, with both the holidays landing on Monday.  That just threw me off also, my days were all mixed up.  The boys are back at school on Wednesday, and I’ve finished up my big projects I was working on, but there’s some more work on the horizon for me, once things get worked out, I’ll let you know.  Hope everyone is staying warm.  I can say that and pretty much include everyone, as it seems the deep freeze has affected the earth.  Okay, maybe not, but my friends in Florida are surely feeling the chill.  I would like more snow, hopefully that will happen soon.  Have a wonderful week ahead!!

RECIPE I WANT TO TRY/HAVE TRIED:

I did try the Brown Buttered Carrots, and they were really good.  I think I cooked them a little too long, but the flavor is really good.  Find that recipe here.

This looks amazing!!  I love stuffed crust pizza!!

FAVORITE VIDEO FROM THE INTERNET:

So beautiful!!

WHAT’S HAPPENING:

I don’t make resolutions, but I usually like to think of the new year as a clean slate, I’m more motivated and excited to see what this year will bring.  I’m looking and planning for some good things this year.  Not to mention this year I will be turning 50, yikes!!  But I am embracing my age, my wisdom, but not the gray hair 😉

FAVORITE PIC FROM THE CAMERA:

This is another addition to our holiday decorations.  I gave this to my oldest son.  Yoda spent most of the holiday season sitting on Rudolph that we got last year, lol.  Forgot to get a pic of that before we put all the decorations away.
