Sunday Spaghetti Dinner

     This past weekend Twister and his girlfriend (the mare next door) got into a little lover's quarrel.
     The mare's mom didn't seem to care and was a good model for me.
     Since we had good weather I decided to take Hedgie outside for the first time and he seemed to enjoy his little adventure.
 
  This past weekend we had  family out at our house for Sunday Dinner. We expected about 15 1/2 (the 1/2 is for a 6 month old baby), but my cousin had to work so that cut out 2 people and then my dad's cousin and her family couldn't either so it was only 9.

Creamy Crock Pot Chicken

   Meals made in a slow cooker or crock pot are good, especially around the holidays because they are easy, takes only minutes to prepare, and you only dirty a few dishes which is good since our kitchen is gonna be used non stop for the next few weeks. I mean you can come home to a home cooked, hot meal and all you have to do is make a side dish and serve and its much tastier and better for you than going through the drive thru.
   We actually have 3 crock pots (which comes in handy for church lunch ins), but usually only cook my mom's pot roast in them. And since we will be needing all of the freezer space we can find, to fit 3 turkeys (2 for church and 1 for us-well 2 are going into a ice chest) I decided that I will be making a few chicken recipes in the crock pot this week. I'm thinking that I'll make my dad and I chicken salsa tacos for Thanksgiving since we will be eating turkey on Saturday and will most likely be living off of turkey for a week after. I like turkey, but it seems like no matter how many people are over for Thanksgiving (16 this year), we always still have plently of turkey leftover,but one good result of that is turkey soup.
  This recipe was invented when I found some chicken recipes for the slow cooker online, but with each recipe I was missing a few ingredients so I made up my own recipe.

Creamed Chicken with Biscuits (It is so easy!)

Want a recipe that is simple,but at the same time looks good and tastes like something that your grandma would make when you visited? Well here it is.....

Creamed Chicken with Biscuits

serves about 6 adults who also ate a small salad

Ingredients:

• 1/2 large onion or 1 small onion
• 1 tbsp. butter
• About 3-4 cups of chicken, cooked
• 1 (10 3/4  ounce) can of Cream of Chicken Soup
• 1 cp. Sour Cream
• 1/2 cp. milk
• 4-6 Tbsp. of mild diced tomatoes & green Chilis
• 1 cp. shredded Mild, Cheddar cheese, Divided
• 6 frozen biscuits(if big) or 9 small biscuits if using a 9x9 pan
• >>>You could also maybe use canned biscuits which i almost did, but i decided to try this way first.
• Tip: if you want it to have some heat, add 1 or 2 jalapenos (your decision to de-seed them or not; I do)

1. Preheat the oven to 350. If using Big biscuits use an 11x9 pan, but i only had a 9x9 pan so I used a 9x9; Grease the pan.
2. Chop the onion. Melt the butter in a medium-large sauce pan, add the onion, add salt and pepper. Saute the until the onion are transparent,about 5-8 minutes if on medium-high. Add the diced tomato and chili's into the pan and cook for about 5 minutes.
