Crockpot Creamy Chicken and Rice Recipe

You would think my days off work would consist of sleeping in and doing nothing. Wrong. I always end up being more busy than during the week. Tomorrow is my day off and I have to take Jace to get his final immunizations, have a check-up and go to the grocery store to stock up on some Thanksgiving food. I decided to write two blogs in one day because I don't know if I will have time tomorrow or even this weekend to write more. 

I know my last blog talked a little bit about Thanksgiving but Kevin and I put together our list of food we are hoping to buy for Thanksgiving dinner. It's a lot of food for two people but we enjoy Thanksgiving dinner and looking forward to our time together. Below is our list and if you have any other ideas, please feel free to add to it! I also plan on putting some recipes together next week so hopefully I can do that before Thanksgiving passes:

Turkey
Glazed Ham
Stuffing
Mashed Potatoes
Turkey Gravy
Green Bean Casserole
French Style Green Beans
Corn
Cornbread
Collard Greens
Apple Cider
Macaroni & Cheese
Bread Rolls
Deviled Eggs
Sweet Potatoes
Catfish Filet (don't ask haha)
Pumpkin Pie
Whipped Cream

The recipes I will probably create for you guys - the Macaroni and Cheese, Deviled Eggs, Mashed Potatoes, and Green Bean Casserole. If you would like to see any other recipes or have any you want to share, please comment below!

Now back to this recipe, creamy chicken and rice - literally one of my favorite meals. We really started eating this when we lived with Kevin's Mom but I changed it a little bit. That one used Cream of Mushroom Soup and in this recipe we used Cream of Chicken. I pulled this recipe from HERE. I couldn't find an Italian Dressing dry mix so I combined actual Italian Dressing and Italian Seasoning and it worked perfect. My version of this recipe is below.

Ingredients:
2 large chicken breasts
1/4 cup butter
2 tsp Italian seasoning
1/2 cup Italian dressing
2 cans Cream of Chicken Soup
8oz pack of Cream Cheese


Directions:
In a crockpot, mix together the butter, Italian seasoning, Italian dressing, and cream of chicken soup. 

Add in the chicken breasts. Cook on low for 5 hours. Shred the chicken and add cream cheese. 


Mix and continue cooking another 30-45 minutes. Serve over Jasmine Rice. I love this recipe because it is SO simple, so creamy and such a perfect meal for the winter weather. If you make this recipe, please let me know below. I would love to hear your thoughts!

Book Review and Summary - Prince Harry - "Spare"

Image
I may be one of the few, but I was intrigued by Prince Harrys' story, which prompted me to pick up his book "Spare." I have to say, as I first started reading, I couldn't put it down, I think I read 50+ pages the first day. I was aware of Prince Harry but knew very little about his life. I remember negative things in the news, all of the negative stories of him. He sounded to me like the "troubled" brother, and, unfortunately, he and everyone else believed he was. I also now understand the meaning behind the book title. The name "Spare" is a name that is described as the one that isn't important. Think of a spare tire, you are kind of pushed to the side until you are needed. As Prince Harry said, his brother was the "Heir" and he was the "Spare" and it was very unfortunate events throughout  the book that describe how and why he felt like this. He mentioned Willy (Prince William) and him were, "The Heir and the Spare. I

10 Ways to Make Parenting a Middle Schooler a Little Bit Easier

Image
My cousin and I were spending some time together a few days ago and she asked about Jace and how he was doing in school. After a few minutes, she suggested that I blog about it. Initially, I wasn't too keen on the idea, but after doing some research, I realized that parenting a middle schooler can be tough for a lot of parents (I got lucky and he is probably one of the easiest ones) at times so I decided to write down what I do to make our days better. Having a middle schooler is so different than having a child in elementary, to me. Here are 10 things that I/we have done that has really made our days easier and better together.  1. Be consistent - every morning I ask my son how he slept and when he comes home, I ask him how his day was. When we eat together as a family (2-3X per week), we each go around the table discussing our highlight of the day. If I somehow miss or forget the questions, he asks me what my highlight was or how my day was which I absolutely love.  On the same t
