Heather and Matt news

Congratulations to Heather and Matt.  They moved into a beautiful new (for them) house yesterday in Smithfield UT.  

Chicken Taco Soup/Dip

• 4 - Chicken Breasts (Frozen works best)
• 2 - 15oz Cans Mexican Stewed Tomatoes
• 1 - cup Salsa (Based upon taste Mild-Hot)
• 1 - Small can Diced Green Chili's
• 2 - 15oz cans Tomato Sauce
• 2 - 15oz cans Black Beans

Combine all ingredients in a crock pot and stir, cook on low for ~6 hrs or high for ~3 hrs. Pull chicken breasts out and shred the chicken and stir it back into the crock pot.

Serve with tortilla chips, sour cream and/or shredded cheese. (Editors note - This feeds a large group or stores in the fridge to be reheated for days, and is probably Ryan's favorite meal, he will reheat it for lunch/dinner for a week straight)

baby sling

At Erin's baby shower someone asked me about the baby sling that I like to make. I said I would post the instructions so here they are.

This is the site I like the best. I have a made several pouch slings which I have liked quite a bit. I especially like this size because it is small enough to carry all the time in my diperbag and then use when ever I want it. I have a friend that adds a pocket to the outside big enough for a diper and your wallet and keys so you don't have to cary anything else. The sewing is very easy and you can make one in about an hour. I really like to use very cute fabric and make the slings reversible then it can match what ever you are wearing.

Chocolate-Caramel-Toffee-cream cake

1 German Chocolate Cake Mix

1 can sweetened condensed milk

1 can caramel topping

1 container whipped topping

1 heath candy bar (diced for garnish)



Prepare cake mix as directed on box in a 9x13 pan.  After you remove it from the
oven, while it's still hot, poke holes about an inch apart all over the cake
with the end of a wooden spoon.  Then pour the can of sweetened condensed milk
over cake followed by the can of caramel topping.  Allow cake to cool.  (I
usually put it in the fridge for an hour or so.)  Once cake is cooled, frost
with whipped topping and garnish with heath bar.

Stuffed Chicken Casserole

Stuffed Chicken Casserole



3 boneless skinless chicken breasts

1 can Cream of Chicken soup

8 oz. sour cream

1 C grated cheddar cheese

1 box Stove top stuffing



Boil chicken until fully cooked.  Dice into bite size pieces.  Cream soup and
sour cream. (I usually add a pinch of salt and pepper as well.) Add diced
chicken to soup mixture. Prepare stuffing as directed on box.  In a 8x8 pan,
layer chicken mixture, grated cheese and stuffing.  Cover and bake @ 350 for
20-25 min. (Until bubbly)



I got this from a friend and its fablous.

(I usually  uncover it for the last 10 min. to brown the stuffing.)
