Easy Chicken Spaghetti

1 pkg chicken breast
1 can cream of mushroom soup
8 oz. Velveeta Cheese
1 can Mild Rotel
8 oz Spaghetti

Boil your chicken, and shred.

Use broth from chicken to boil your pasta. Drain.

In the mean time, add Velveeta (cubed), cream of mushroom and rotel together over medium heat until melted.
*If you DO NOT like the consistency of tomato's, but still want the flavor of Rotel, use a food processor to puree them and add to the mixture. This is what I did to still give the dish a little spice. And the hubby didnt even know there was tomatos in it...suuweeettt

After that add all ingredients into a baking dish and back for 20 minutes on 375!

Blueberry Brownies

Gross? I think not.

When I had too many blueberries left over from my sons brief interest in them, I decided to puree them and add them to a basic chewy brownie mix.

My husband did not want anything to do with them but, he finally tried one.

They were amazing, and the next morning the "gross brownies" he claimed them to be were missing.

Turns out they were so gross he brought them to work to eat :)



PS. Only use Pampered Chef Stoneware! Booooo to Prrex and glass bakeware!!!

Egg in a Basket

1 piece of *wheat bread
enough butter to lightly spread on both sides of bread

1 egg

salt and pepper to taste

Spread butter on both sides of bread.
Use something to cut a shape out of the center of bread. Use medium heat on stove and place bread on pan, then egg in the middle. Cook enough so that you can flip without egg running too much, then cook both sides of the shape you cut out of the bread.

Serve with fruit. Yummm, egg in a basket!
