This Recipe makes 8 mini pot pies. I'd say 2 pot pies makes an okay serving my husband will eat 4 in a sitting (probably more if I let him)
Ingredients:
1 can cream of chicken soup
2 or 3 boneless chicken breasts
1 package of Pillsbury Grands Buttermilk Biscuits
Your choice of vegetable. (I used corn)
Steps:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees (or whatever your package of biscuits tells you to do)
Lightly grease the cupcake pan (I always use my misto sprayer thingy)
Press each biscuit into one of cupcake spots. Form a little basket.
Bake chicken breasts at 350 degrees until fully cooked
Combine soup and your choice of vegetable (I used corn) in a pot and bring to a boil.
Cut cooked chicken into bite sized pieces.
Spoon soup/veggie mix and a few pieces of chicken into each biscuit basket.
Bake for the time on the biscuit package. I find that 12-15 minutes is perfect.
It's not the prettiest dinner, but it is a YUMMY dinner. It is however, high in sodium due to the soup and I don't suggest eating this as a staple part of your diet/menu.
The other day I worked really hard to get this place in tip top shape. I mopped all the floors, cleaned the walls, wiped down the couch and all that good stuff... I was exhausted.
Lord Hill cooked dinner, did the dishes and then SHINED MY SINK.
He even put the towels in their pretty little spot that says "hey, this sink is shiny, don't leave stuff in it"
I felt loved, supported, and relieved that I did not have to do it and went to bed stress free.
What "little things" does your significant other do for you that makes you feel loved and appreciated?
First of all I’d like to thank everyone who congradulated Lord Hill and I on our anniversary. We had a fabulous time. Our long weekend turned into a 5 day vacation but there will be a separate post to tell that story.
Today I want to talk about Spring Cleaning.
I’ll be honest. I have never really been a fan, nor have I understood why everyone seems to “like” cleaning once the weather gets nice. I always want to spend as much time outside as possible and cleaning is basically the opposite of that. So imagine my surprise when I woke up today on the nicest day we’ve had all year and thought to myself “well, this would be a nice day to tidy up a bit”
And tidy up I did.
Yesterday Lord Hill and I returned over $12 worth of bottles and cans. This helped jump start my want/need to reclean the kitchen as I had totally let it go since my last post showing my nice clean kitchen with my nice shiny sink. I wound up completely cleaning the kitchen including the floors, the fridge, and the cabinets. I put the dishes away, and set up a nice centerpiece on the table. I took everything that didn't belong in the kitchen and put it away.
Then I moved on to my office which is between my kitchen and living room. It's more like a hallway with a desk in it. It has been a total disaster for a long time now. I completely cleaned it today. I wound up finding things from my wedding which as I pointed out last week was 2 years ago!! What is wrong with me?? Anyway, I put it all away and cleaned up and did the floors and got everything that didn't belong in there and put it away. I even cleaned my desk and dusted my monitor.
On to the bathroom. Toilet done. Sink done. Floors done. Mirrors done.
Living room.... Rugs - vacuumed. Couch - cleaned, cleared and fluffed. Table - cleared, wiped down, dusted, and given a nice little center piece.
Oh, also, my bed is made for the first time in MONTHS. The bedroom is still a disaster area but that's okay. I know I can take care of that if I can do the rest of the apartment in just one day.
It feels AMAZING. We even had company come over tonight and there was nothing to worry about! I had even lit some candles earlier and used air freshener and was 100% confident having guests over.
Keep an eye out for my next big accomplishment!
Do you have a "hotspot" in your home where junk/clutter/stuff seems to accumulate?
As part of the Flylady.net program I had to create a Control Journal that would help me keep my routines in order and help me organize my life.
I made the journal based on their suggestions but ignored the most important part... The part where they say make it work for YOU and not just to follow it blindly.
So this weekend I reworked it a bit b/c there was NO way I was getting everything done on the days it was telling me to do everything.
This is my Weekly Chores broken down by the day of the week. Feel free to steal it and make it your own. You'd be amazed at how much this program really helps.

MONDAY:

I used flylady's crisis cleaning procedure today. I set a timer and spent 15 minutes in the kitchen cleaning, when the timer went off I reset it for another 15 minute and worked on the living room, reset it again and finished up in the kitchen.
I need to clean out all of the cabinets and return all of the bottles and cans but this was great progress for me. I am not proud of the CHAOS I have been dealing with for so long, but I am proud of the progress I'm making to cure it.
How bout you? Have you ever let the clutter take control to the point where you suffered from Can't Have Anyone Over Syndrome? (CHAOS)
