Recipe Review       

Today’s Recipe and Location:           Chicken Skillet Lasagna        

Found in: The Pioneer Woman blog

I figured out that there are 370 calories per serving, if 8 servings are made. (Please note that the calorie counts vary depending on the specific brands of ingredients that you choose to use.)

Boy, this picture is a little dark - sorry about that

In the top picture, you can see all
the herbs. In this one, the cheese!
Good stuff, man!

         This is another amazing pasta dish from Ree.  There is something special to me about bowtie pasta. I just think it is fun, and it holds extra sauce in the folds.  There is just the perfect amount of chicken and sauce and I loved every single bite.  This would be great for company.

      

Gabbin’ About Gratitude

         Each Wednesday, I write about things that I am grateful for in life. Today, I need to remember the value of the little things.

         As I sit here writing, I am thankful for my electric mixer, which makes my life easier. I am grateful for a comfortable bed where I sleep. I am thankful for freezer that keeps Ree’s amazing food cold. OMG – this could go on forever!  I just realized how many things that I own that I am so thankful for in my life. Life is really good!

Memory Musings

         An embarrassing moment from high school came when I was in my English class. I left home with a sore throat, and my thoughtful Dad dropped off cough drops for me in the office. Unfortunately, the secretary decided to personally deliver them to the teacher. I only wish I could remember his name because he humiliated me in front of the entire class by claiming that his class was being interrupted because I needed my Children’s Cherry Flavor Cough Drops. I was mortified. He was so demeaning and arrogant. Basically, he was a real jerk.  Oh well, I lived through high school, so I probably need to get over it.
