The Best Chicken Casserole in the History of the World

by

Seriously, y’all. It is amazing.

You need:
1 box of long grain wild rice, prepared
2 cans of cream of chicken soup
1/2 c sour cream
1 lemon juiced
1/2 tsp curry powder
3 stalks of celery, diced
1/2 onion diced
several cloves of minced garlic
1 can of artichoke hearts diced
3 chicken breasts cut into bite sized pieces
salt, pepper and garlic powder to taste
extra virgin olive oil (EVOO)

*Optional-add a handful of slivered almonds or a can of diced water chestnuts for added crunch.*

Toppings- Top with shredded cheddar cheese OR crushed Ritz crackers OR seasoned breadcrumbs.
Sprinkle the chicken with spices and cook on stove top in EVOO until done. Add vegetables and cook until soft. Add artichokes and garlic last. Mix all ingredients and pour into a baking dish, add a topping if desired and bake at 400 degrees until bubbly.

Thanks to Brandy and Aunt B for the recipe. It is so unbelievably good and easy!

PS. Tell Aunt LuLu not to hate on the cream of chicken soup.

Aubrey Said: Don Knotts

by

This weekend while I was out of town The Hubs rented some old school family movies, Pollyanna and The Apple Dumpling Gang, to watch with the big girls. Thirty minutes into The Apple Dumpling Gang and one of Don Knotts’ scenes Aubrey looked at her Daddy with raised eyebrows and said, “Uh…he’s a little off.”

Zeb laughed hysterically and Aubrey asked, “Do you know what that means?”

Mommy Tips

by

Here is a fab-a-lous Mommy Tip from my veddy good friend Lori:

I wanted to let you know of a concoction that Brantley (her husband is a pharmacist) came up with to help Luke’s severe diaper rash. He has double ear infections (again) and is on a strong dose of Augmentin.
His diaper rash was so bad that he couldn’t sit down and it hurt him to walk. So pitiful it made ME cry too.
Brantley did a little research and decided to compound one container of Triple Paste (which contains bees wax, zinc and lanolin) with half a bottle of extra strength cherry Maalox (to neutralize the acid in the poo). He was a little afraid that the mint would burn, but not sure about that. Since he is no longer working in a traditional pharmacy, he came home and mixed it up in the good ol’ Kitchen Aid mixer.
We put it on Luke that night and set the alarm clock for the middle of the night for another application. By morning it was MUCH improved and he is no longer crying in anticipation of a diaper change. It makes a thin enough paste that you can apply it without much rubbing. HUGE difference in a very short time.

Thanks, Lori!
