Chicken Noodle casserole

Today when I got home from work Lacey decided to make me dinner.  This was so so yummy, I asked her for the recipe so I could include it on my blog.  it is definitely yummy and easy enough that she could make it on her own while I was at work.  (It kind of tastes like chicken pot pie without the crust)  the recipe is found here
and from the Taylor House . com

Chicken Noodle Casserole
Ingredients:
2 cups uncooked egg noodles
2 cups cubed cooked chicken
1 pckg frozen peas, carrots, beans, and corn
1 cup milk
1 can cream of chicken soup
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1/2 tsp salt   1/2 tsp pepper
1/2 cup chopped onion
2 Tblsp melted butter
1/2 tsp garlic salt
1/2 tsp Italian seasoning

Instructions

Cook noodles according to package directions

Meanwhile, in a large bowl combine the remaining ingredients.

Drain noodles, add to the chicken mixture

Transfer to a greased 8 in cake pan

Cover and bake at 350 for 30 min.  Uncover and bake 10 to 15 min longer until heated through.

(Lacey made this in a 9 x 13 and used extra noodles and it was great, so you might want to double it then for a 9 x 13)

Magic Marshmallow Crescent Rolls aka Easter Tomb Rolls

I learned this recipe when I was in Junior High and it was one of my favorites, and now it is used at Easter Time called Easter Morning Rolls to teach children how the tomb is empty when they look for Jesus Christ, (the marshmallow melts and the rolls look empty inside)  It is fun for kids and delicious!

Magic Marshmallow Crescent Rolls aka Easter Rolls

Ingredients
1 12 oz package refrigerated crescent rolls
1/4 cup sugar
1 Tblsp ground cinnamon
8 large marshmallows
1/4 cup butter, melted

Instructions
Separate rolls into 8 triangles.  Combine sugar and cinnamon.  Dip each marshmallow into butter, roll in cinnamon sugar mixture and place on triangle.  Pinch dough around marshmallow, sealing all edges.  Make sure to seal well or all the marshmallow will escape.
Dip tops of dough into remaining butter and cinnamon sugar Place with sugar side up in greased muffins cups.  It helps to use jumbo muffin tins so that the juice doesn't overflow.
Bake at 375 for 10 to 15 min or until rolls are golden brown.  Allow to cool slightly then eat warm.

The Easter symbolism goes as follows for teaching children:
Large marshmallows - Body of Jesus
Melted Butter - Oils for embalming
Cinnamon and Sugar mix- Spices used to anoint Christ's body
Crescent Roll - the wrapping of Jesus' body or the tomb
Oven - the tomb
Cavity in bun - the empty tomb  or the empty cloths
This is such a fun activity for children to help make!
Enjoy!

Biscuits and Gravy Casserole

This recipe came to me from my daughter Christy who said she has made this several times and her family likes it, it is easy to prepare and yummy.  It comes from Six Sisters Stuff and you can link them here:

1 (16.3 ounce) package refrigerated biscuits
1 pound ground sausage
3 Tblsp flour

1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper

Preheat oven to 400 degrees
Lightly grease a 9 x 9 pan with cooking spray, set aside
Open biscuits and cut each biscuit into 4 pieces.  Layer half of the cut biscuits in your prepared pan.
Bake for 10 minutes
While it bakes, brown the sausage in a skillet over medium high heat until fully cooked, then drain grease well.
Add flour to the cooked sausage and mix until all is covered
Lower heat to medium, and cook flour/sausage mixture for 3 to 5 minutes, stirring frequently. 
Add milk, salt and pepper and stir to combine until it comes to a slight boil. 
If the gravy is too thick, add a bit more milk.  You want the gravy to be thickened but not too thick.
pour the sausage gravy over the cooked biscuits
Layer the remaining uncooked, quartered biscuits over the gravy.
Place casserole dish on a baking sheet, and bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown
If they start to get too brown, you can cover with foil for the last 10 minutes

This serves 6 ( can double in a 9 x 13), prep time is 15 min, cook time is 35 min

Christy says this is yummy so I can't wait to try it!

Philly Cheesesteak Sloppy Joes

I made these the other day because Krista was making them and Christy said they are really good, and Christy said the recipe was  best from Mel's Kitchen Café, (cuz Shauna makes them and she has a bit of a different recipe and shauna said she loves philly sloppy joes too ) so this is from Mel's , I made this recipe and they were so good:


Philly Cheesesteak Sloppy Joes
Ingredients:
2 lbs lean ground beef (or ground turkey)
1/2 cup chopped onions (about 1 small onion)
1/2 cup to 3/4 cup chopped green bell (about 1 large)
8 ounces white button or baby bella mushrooms, stemmed and   finely minced


1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1/4 cup all purpose flour
1 1/2 cups beef broth
2 Tblsp Worcestershire sauce
1/4 cup BBQ sauce
Provolone cheese slicesHamburger Buns

Directions:
Heat a large 12 in skillet over med heat and add the meat, onions, bell pepper, mushrooms, salt and pepper.  Cook stirring often to break the meat into small pieces and the vegetables are tender, 5 to 10 min (drain excess grease)
Sprinkle the flour over the meat/veggies and stir to combine.  Cook the mixture over medium heat for 1-2 min stirring often (this helps cook out the flour taste)
In a bowl or liquid measuring cup, whisk together the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and BBQ sauce.
Over medium heat gradually add the sauce mixture to the skillet, stirring with a wooden spoon. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 4-5 min until bubbly and thickened.
Serve the sloppy Joe mixture on buns topped with a slice of provolone cheese, for meltier cheese, place the assembled sloppy Joes in a 350 oven for a few minutes before serving

These are so so good!

Here is a thought for the day:

I was scrolling on my facebook for a thought and this came up , I liked it so here it is:
How to prevent an anxiety attack:
*Breathe deeply in through your nose and out through your mouth
*Slowly look around you and find......
*5 things you can see
*4 things you can touch
*3 things you can hear
*2 things you can smell (or 2 smells you like)
*1 emotion you feel
This is called grounding, it can help when you feel like you've gone too far in your head and lost all control of your surroundings!

Have a wonderful day, you will after you eat these wonderful sloppy joes!

Chicken Cordon Bleu Pillows

This is similar to the chicken pillow pockets but a little better with ham and bacon and swiss cheese and a delicious homemade sauce instead of the cream of soup and sour cream.  This came from Chef in Training and can be found here:

Chicken Cordon Bleu Pillows

Ingredients:
8 oz cream cheese, softened
4 Tblsp butter, softened
2 cups cooked and shredded chicken
1/2 cup cooked and diced ham
6 pieces cooked and diced bacon
1 cup swiss cheese
1 can Pillsbury Grand Crescent Rolls
1 egg
1 cup plain bread crumbs
1/2 cup panko bread crumbs
2 Tblsp  dried parsley flakes

Sauce:
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup flour
2 cups half and half
1/2 tsp garlic salt
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/2 cup swiss cheese

Instructions:
In a large bowl, combine cream cheese and butter and stir until well combined.
Add chicken, ham, bacon, and swiss cheese to the cream cheese mixture and evenly stir into the mixture.
Lay out the 8 crescents on a cookie sheet .  Stretch the crescent out width wise.
Place a couple large spoonfuls of the creamy chicken mixture into the center of the crescent to fill it.  Then fold the crescent around the mixture so that all the cream cheese mixture is sealed off by the crescent roll.  I'll call this the "pillow"
In a separate smaller bowl, put the egg and a little bit of water, maybe a couple Tablespoons worth and beat together.
In another separate bowl, combine bread crumbs, panko bread crumbs and dried parsley flakes.
Dip the "pillow" into the blended egg,   After dipping into the egg, proceed to dip it into the bread crumb mixture and place on greased cookie sheet.  Repeat for the remaining 7 crescents.  Cook the pillows at 400 for 20 min.  Keep an eye on them as your oven may cook them quicker, don't burn them!
For the Sauce:
To make sauce melt butter in a large sauce pan.  Once melted add flour and stir for a minute or two to make a roux.  Once roux is made, add half and half slowly, stirring constantly, until all has been added and sauce thickens to desired consistency.  Remove from heat and add garlic salt, onion powder.  Stir in Swiss Cheese until melted into sauce
Drizzle each pillow with sauce.

(I, Sandee, have not made this using one triangle, I have always had to use two triangles, so you may want to buy 2 cans of the rolls, I like to make these bigger)

Pizza Dough - My Favorite Recipe

This recipe comes from the cookbook called The Food Nanny Rescues Dinner, her daughter went to college where my Shauna went, and Shauna came home one weekend telling me her friend's mother was writing a cookbook and I told her I wanted to buy one, I had no idea she was the Food Nanny, I love the cookbook!
This is a very quick and very easy recipe, I like to make it for my grandkids, and let them make their own pizza, you can whip up the dough and cook right away, no need to let it rise like other recipes

Basic Pizza Dough by Food Nanny

1 Tblsp active dry yeast
1 cup warm (105-115 degrees) water
2 Tblsp olive oil
1 Tblsp honey
1/4 tsp salt
3 to 4 cups all purpose flour (or use half whole wheat -half white)

Mix the yeast and water in a small bowl, cover, and let stand until foamy, about 5 to 10 min

Mix the oil, honey, salt, and yeast mixture in a large mixing bowl (I use my Kitchen Aid or Bosch), Add one cup of flour at a time, up to 3 cups, mixing well after each addition.  You may have to stir in the third cup of flour by hand, depending on your machine.

If the dough seems too wet, mix more flour, 1/4 cup at a time, until the dough is soft.  Mix in your Kitchen Aid for about 5 min.

Lightly grease pizza pan or cookie sheet with oil.  If making two or more thin crust pizza's, divide the dough and with rolling pin roll out dough on floured surface, gently stretch the dough to fill the pan.
(I just pull a ball of dough out of the bowl and with my hand form it into a kidsized circle, just using my hands to pull and stretch and form, I can get 2 to 3 kid sized pizzas on a pan)

Cover the dough with pizza sauce ( I just use my own homemade spaghetti sauce or Prego sauce or the food nanny has a recipe that goes like this:
Easy Pizza Sauce your Kids will Make
1   8 oz can tomato sauce
1/4  tsp dried basil
1/4  tsp oregano
1/4  tsp garlic or garlic salt
1/8  tsp ground black pepper
1 Tblsp sugar
Mix all together in small bowl

Then let the children put on what toppings they like, mozzarella cheese, olives, pepperoni, pineapple, mushrooms, bell pepper, bacon, etc.

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees
Bake 15 to 20 min on lowest oven rack

For a variation you can make 3 cheese pizza using  mozarella cheese, smoked gouda cheese and gruyere cheese!


For the nourishing of our souls:
Read in D&C 6:33
Fear not to do good, my sons, for whatsoever ye sow, that shall ye also reap; therefore, if ye sow good ye shall also reap good for your reward

It has been my experience that every good deed I have done for others has come back to me throughout my life, and mostly I have been paid back during the hardest times of my life, it makes me wish I had done MORE good things so I could continue to receive MORE good things in return!  But let me give you an example, when my kids were in high school, I would sometimes like to take their car at night when they were asleep and go fill it full of gas and not tell them.  And later in my life, during some hard times, one day I went to get in my car and my daughter had filled my car full of gas, it was such a nice surprise! Little things are such BIG things and its the little things that make memories!

Play Dough from the Child Study Lab

A few Years after  Dan and I had our first baby, Dan was still attending Arizona State University, he was able to get Dustin into their preschool program and they had the best program ever, this recipe came from their child study lab and I have used it to raise all my seven children plus my seven grandchildren, NO MOTHER SHOULD BE WITHOUT THIS RECIPE!  You just cant raise a kid without homemade playdough!

Child Study Lab Play Dough
2 cups flour
1 cup salt
2 cups water
4 tsp cream of tartar
3 Tblsp oil ( I use vegetable oil)
Food Coloring

In a big saucepan (6 to 8 quart) Mix together all the ingredients (I do it in the order listed) and I use a whisk at first to blend all the ingredients together (a large wire whisk) and then I put the whisk in my sink and get a big wooden spoon to stir it with. (as it cooks it will get so thick and stuck in the whisk)
 Cook the above ingredients (after blended together) over stovetop with  medium high heat until it starts to pull away from the pan and hold together in a ball, I stand and stir with wooden spoon the whole time, as it goes pretty quickly, until it becomes a big clump that has all pulled together in the center of your pan, then pour it onto table or countertop and KNEAD with your hands, but be careful as it will be hot, you may want to let it cool a minute or two before you Knead, and then knead until it is ready, I store mine in tupperware container on a shelf. 
YOU WILL LOVE IT!, nothing is more fun for kids than a fresh batch of playdough.  Be sure to soak your pans for several minutes and then clean out right away as it is harder to clean if you dont do it right away
ENJOY!, your children will love you!

The other day I was with my RS pres and some planes flew over our head, so loud we could not hear, and she said I LOVE THAT SOUND, and I said why? and she said, it represents FREEDOM, and so today I want you to be thankful for our FREEDOM, and here is my most favorite singer singing a heart pounding song I love: listen here

I have my scriptures by the computer and turned them open and the page fell to Deuteronomy 6:5-6
"And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might
And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart.

I have chosen to fast today and what better way to end my fast than with that scripture, I do feel loved and cared for and watched over by my Heavenly Father, and it is so easy to love Him with all my heart, sometimes I do not show it by how I spend my time, each week we are given the Sabbath day to honor and worship Him, how much time on that day do I really spend getting to know him? I vow to do better!

Caramel Biscuits

This is a fun kid friendly recipe that is quick and easy and fun for little kids to make:

Caramel Biscuits
1 cup brown sugar
9 Tblsp butter
2 tsp water
3 to 4 cans refrigerated buttermilk biscuits

I first get a big jelly roll pan and spray with Pam.  Then I let my kids or adult helpers cut the biscuits into thirds or fourths (the kids love cutting the dough) and line the jelly roll pan with the biscuits, they can lay on the pan however you want, so let the kids put them in the pan! I like them to lay next to eachother with no spaces in between

On the stove bring to boil the brown sugar, butter and water, making sure it is mixed together well and all dissolved! No need to boil very long, just bring to boil and then Remove from heat and
Pour syrup over the biscuits and bake according to the canned biscuits directions. 
Make a glaze with powdered sugar, butter and milk and drizzle over the top. (Refer to my buttercream icing recipe and thin it down with milk a bit)
Best when eaten warm right out of the oven
These are fun to make conference morning and let the children eat during conference!

For the nourishing of our souls:

When I was blessed to have my last child (after an 11 year gap) and I brought her home from the hospital, my dear neighbor Jana came over and said to me "I feel impressed to tell you that She is a gift to you from Heavenly Father"  I have always treasured those words and have been blessed to be her mother during the hardest times of my life (my husband walked out the door when she was 18 months), so for today, of course, with a kid friendly recipe we shall go to my favorite scriptures in 3 Nephi 17, starting at verse 12 where it says "so they brought their little children and set them down up on the ground round about him, and Jesus stood in the midst. . ., then in verse 16  "and after this manner do they bear record: The eye hath never seen, neither hath the ear heard, before, so great and marvelous things as we saw and heard Jesus speak unto the Father: and read on and in verse 22 "And when he had done this he wept again: and he spake unto the multitude and said unto them: Behold your little ones. . . . . and they were encircled about with fire ; and the angels did minister unto them:"
May we treasure the opportunity we have to be mothers, please go and hug your children today tell them you love them, or call them, or pray for them, and especially thank Heavenly Father for them!
