Another easy recipe that is holy-moly good! I had to force myself to stop eating it.
Ingredients:
5 cups boiled, cubed chicken
2 can cream of chicken
8 oz sour cream
1 1/2 sleeves Ritz
1 Tbsp poppyseed
Extras:
1 Tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp Worcestershire
pepper
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Layer chicken on the bottom. Combine all other ingredients EXCEPT Ritz and poppyseeds. Mix together with the chicken. sprinkle Ritz and poppyseeds on top. Cook for 25 minutes. (The extras are what make it super delish)

Easiest Cookies Ever!
I found this recipe on Pinterest and I actually had all of the ingredients on hand so I decided to make it. All you need is:
1 c. butter, softened
2 c. flour
1/2 c. chocolate chips
1/2 c. powdered sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
**Mine were too thick to start with so they weren't cooked through after 10 minutes. I split them in half and cooked them another 10 minutes. Gooey and delicious!
| I took a picture after I made them so the chocolate chips are no more |
1 c. butter, softened
2 c. flour
1/2 c. chocolate chips
1/2 c. powdered sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
- Beat the butter until fluffy
- Sift in the powdered sugar
- Stir in the vanilla
- Fold in the flour 1/2 c. at a time*
- Stir in chocolate chips
- Scoop out in 1 inch balls
- Bake 10-14 minutes at 350 degrees**

Photo a Day in May
I've seen some other blogs do this and I thought it was interesting. One blogger did a picture a day for a year! Yeah, I knew that definitely wouldn't happen so I chose to do it just in May. Here's a list of prompts for the month.
Day 1: Okay, really it's two pictures, but I can't imagine anything more (peace)ful than sleeping babies.
Day 2: There's not much in the way of a traditional (skyline) but this is a Southern view. From the porch and everything.
Day 3: Love blue jean Friday. This is (something I wore) today.
Day 4: Eric used to have a lot of (fun) making and shooting model rockets as a kid, so I bought him one for his birthday. He is now passing down the love to Kaleb.
Day 5: If I had to pick my favorite (bird) out of the bunch, it would probably be the little hot pink one. These guys were half off at World Market after Easter. Score!
Day 6: I think (you) can tell a lot about a person by his or her favorite Bible verse. Romans 3:38-39 is mine.
Day 7: Gone with the Wind is my favorite book and movie. Part of the reason I love it so much is because of Mellie. She is the opposite of Scarlett and is (someone that inspires me) because she is so selfless and always sees and believes the best in people.
Day 8: There are many (smells I adore) but they are so hard to capture. One that was easy was the smell of my freshly bathed kids.
Day 9: This is (something I do everyday) in the sense that I feel like I MUST read. If you're a true lover of books, the day just isn't complete without reading at least a chapter of something. At the moment I'm reading Anna Karenina.
Day 10: I don't know if this makes me crazy, but as a teacher one of my (favorite words) is August because it's the beginning of the new year. I still get that giddy excitement of starting fresh.
Day 11: This is what my (kitchen) looks like 3 days into a boil water notice. Ugh! Bring back the water!
Day 12: This little guy in huge glasses is definitely (something that makes me happy).
Day 13: Pretty sure this used to be a (mum). Mrs. Brown Thumb strikes again!
Day 14: This is going to make mowing the (grass) so much easier!
Day 15: I (love) our new tradition: Shipley's Saturdays!
Day 16: (What I'm reading) is still Anna Karenina. (and it probably will be for a long time)
Day 17: I'm kind of obsessed with this perfect summer (snack).
Day 18: These are (something I made) for our bare bathroom walls. Thanks Pinterest!
Day 19: I know it makes me seem lazy, but my bed really is (a favorite place) in my house.
Day 20: Living in the south, ceiling fans are definitely (something I can't live without)!
Day 21: The place (where I stand) 180 days a year looks might lonely with no kiddos.
Day 22: I plan on wearing this (pink) dress to an interview Memorial Day. (I didn't end up wearing it - I also didn't get the job)
Day 23: (Technology) can be sooo frustrating when it doesn't work!!
Day 24: I haven't bought (something new) for myself in quite some time, but I bought a couple of pair of khaki pants that I love.
Day 25: It's quite (unusual) for us to see a movie anymore. Much less two in one weekend.
Day 26: It hasn't taken effect yet, but this is what our (12 o'clock) will look like once summer really begins...June 21.
Day 27: This (something sweet) is seriously one of the best flavors out there.
Day 28: (The weather today) was pretty typical for late May in Mississippi...hot, pretty, with a quick shower thrown in.
Day 29: The (number) of poison ivy spots seems to be growing daily.


Day 30: (My personality) shines through in these boys' silly faces.
Day 31: This view is (something beautiful) on a Saturday morning.
Day 1: Okay, really it's two pictures, but I can't imagine anything more (peace)ful than sleeping babies.

April Goals Update
Daily:
Read the Bible - This hasn't been as great at January, but I'd say it's my second most successful month so far. I devised a plan to read through the New Testament so now I don't have any excuses about not knowing what to read. It's come in handy recently because we keep having trouble with Kaleb. We decided we needed to revamp our house rules and decisions. We now have 2 rules - based on the Bible. We love God and we love each other. Everything else comes from that.
Thank someone - I've been much more intentional about thanking Eric specifically when he does something. I make sure to let him know how much I appreciate him.
Weekly:
Kaleb time - We've had fun playing outside and going to get ice cream together. We went to the park just the two of us and mowed the yard together.
Exercise - I walked around the track some this month. I wish I was more motivated and consistent with it though. I also did Jillian Michael's workout again. Phew!
Recipes - Well, I managed to get 3 of my 4 goal recipes done. The tomato basil pasta was just so complicated that I skipped it. Crockpot lemon chicken was a success! And it was SO easy. I tweaked the recipe a little bit and I think next time it will be even better. Eric liked it a lot and Kaleb even ate it. Pair it with rice and green beans and it's an actual adult meal.
Of course I tried both desserts. The white chocolate raspberry recipe didn't exactly work out because I couldn't find raspberries anywhere! I improvised and made white chocolate strawberries instead. Pretty tasty. They were better when the chocolate was still warm because once it hardened it was pretty hard. Still good though.
Lastly I made the caramel marshmallow popcorn. It was also really good, but pretty rich. I think next time I make it I'll use twice the popcorn. You almost had to eat it with a spoon!
Monthly:
Date Night - My parents took the boys one weekend so Eric and I got to go out to eat to celebrate him getting this summer internship. Sushi is so much better when you don't have to calm a crying baby or chase a rambunctious three year old.
Read - I read the Duck Dynasty book in a couple of days. Now I've moved on to Anna Karenina. It may take me more than a month to finish that one.
DIY - Goodbye DIY goal!
Yearly:
5k - Done and done! I say it twice because I've done two, obviously. I have to admit they're kind of addictive. They're not so hard you have to train a lot, but they're difficult enough to feel accomplished for finishing it. I want to do another one with Eric in November and maybe jog a good bit of it.

| I'll obviously never have pictures on Pinterest because I can't get the plate clean enough. I did some chocolate filled and some chocolate dipped. |
