Impossibly Easy Recipes

I'm sad that I didn't take any pictures of the really easy meals I made last week, but here are the recipes for you guys to try. Adam even ate both of them without any complaint! I plan to make a cute recipe box this weekend to keep all my new recipes. So here you go:

Impossibly Easy Chicken Pot Pie

Ingredients:

2-3 chicken breasts, cubed and cooked

1 can cream of chicken soup

2 cups frozen mixed veggies

1 cup Bisquick

1 egg

1/2 cup milk

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Mix together chicken, soup, and veggies. Spread in a pyrex baking dish. Mix together remaining ingredients and spread on top of chicken mixture. Bake in oven for 30 minutes or until top is golden brown.

I doubled this recipe so that we would have lots of leftovers!

Impossibly Easy Stroganoff

Ingredients:

1/2 pound stew meat

1 small onion

1 can cream of mushroom soup

1 small can sliced mushrooms, drained

1/2 cup sour cream

pepper to taste

Cooked noodles

In slow cooker, combine meat, onion, soup, mushrooms, and pepper. Cover and cook for 6-8 hours or until beef is very tender. Stir in sour cream. Serve over noodles.

This recipe was the first one that I had done w/out any real liquid in the slow cooker. It was weird, but it worked! I tripled this recipe because I think it was meant for 2. I've never used canned mushrooms before either, but that made it even more easy!

All in all, these recipes were soooo easy to prepare and they were delicious. I hope you all try them and leave me a comment! Let me know how they turned out for you.

Nap Time! by Adam

Hello all, Adam here. I decided to give this blogging thing a try. And what a perfect day to start!

SO: Mom decided to put me down for nap time (bleh) at the usual time today. I didn't like it, just like every single day. So I decided to spend it a totally different way than the norm. I have this new thing I do nowadays. It's hilarious and Mom goes all sorts of colors in the face when I do it. I STRIP! From my head to my toes. Buck naked. Then, after mom notices, I scream at the top of my lungs and run all over the house. It's so awesome! Anyway, back to nap time. SO I screamed for a while, hoping Mom would give in and let me out, but to no avail. I go all quiet, making her think I went down for my nap. I'm in my crib, so I'm not able to run around like normal, but I had a better idea. I'll strip, and since my diaper is FULL of poop, I FLING IT ALL OVER THE WALLS!! (Refer to picture above. Yeah, thats a giant poop wad on the wall). I got it on my crib, all over the back wall behind my crib, on the floor, and smeared all over my sheets and blankets. And of course my hair had to be coated so that Mom HAD to give me a bath. I didn't have time to get all my clothes off before Mom came in. It had almost the same effect as if I were to run around naked! Unfortunately, Mom didn't find it as funny as I thought she would, but I sure enjoyed it! Until next time, Peace out!

Christmas Time Part 2

Blogger is being fussy, so I had to do these separate. Anyhoo: Christmas Day started early, as it does for most families all over the world. We spent the early morning with the Walkers and then went to my family's house afterward. Adam was spoiled ROTTEN in both locations :D It was fun to see him react this year to Christmas. Last year he was just barely crawling and didn't really understand the concept of opening presents. This year he ripped into the paper and was actually excited! He was easily distracted by other things of course, but he mostly got it this year. Again, basically NO pictures, but here we go anyway:

Good Morning Sunshine! His jammies say "What Santa doesn't get me Grandma will!" My mom got them for him this year. SO cute!

Sitting with Grandma Jenny reading his Rainbow Trucks book that she got him

This was so nifty! His little jacket has buttons, Velcro, and a zipper and his shoes have ties, so Adam can practice doing up buttons and zippers! I loved this one

When Adam opened this one, Jenny says "The box says 6 years or older, but he had to have it!" It's a little drawing board that's all light activated. Adam thinks it's the coolest thing! He loves that the pen has a light at the end of it.

Sitting on Uncle Trevor's present, the new dirt bike! Grandpa Steve had to make sure he didn't take off on it!

At my parents' house, Adam got probably his most favorite present of all: A VACUUM!! He opened the paper, and before it was even out of the box he was doing his little exclamations and ooo's and aaahhh's and making the vacuum noise. My mom says "Do you want me to open it?" And he vigorously shook his head yes! It was the funniest thing! It's this little red dirt devil that actually makes the noise and picks up dirt! So it really works just like Mommy's vacuum. It was definitely the biggest hit this year. Now whenever he sees me pull out our vacuum he goes into his room and gets his, turns it on, and vacuums with me. Darling!

Christmas is definitely one of my most favorite times of year. I really wish that everyone could keep this feeling and attitude all year round. I honestly think the world would be a better, more peaceful place. It's wonderful to have a holiday dedicated to the birth of our Savior. We are so blessed to have the gospel in our lives and to not get all caught up in the corporate definition of the Holidays. We hope that you all had a safe, wonderful Christmas. Love to you all!

Christmas time Part 1

We had a most wonderful Christmas Holiday this year! I'm a very sad and ashamed to report that I have very few pictures of the events, but the few I have will have to do.

Christmas Eve was spent in Provo with my Great Grandma Hazel. We went to her favorite place, Village Inn, for dinner and had fun enjoying each other's company and watching our hilarious waiter interact with Adam. Afterwards we drove around to look at lights. I think it is so cool that Adam is able to spend time with his Great GREAT Grandma! I hope she stays with us long enough for him to really remember her. I'm sure she's got years to go yet! Here are a few pictures from the evening. Again, sorry there aren't very many!

Great Grandma Hazel!

Jesse and Dominique being dorks

The whole crew: Kyrsten, Dad, Marina, Dominique, Jesse, Hazel, Mom, Me, Adam. He refused to look at the camera. He was extremely restless the whole night.

Here we are in front of the Christmas Tree. Again, no Adam's face...
