4-6 Chicken Breasts/tenders
1/4 cup butter
1- .7 oz pkg dry Italian salad dressing mix
1 - can golden mushroom soup
1/2 cup dry white wine
4 oz cream cheese ( I use reduced fat, you can also use the one with chives, whatever you prefer)
Mushrooms optional
hot cooked angel hair pasta

Place chicken in crockpot. Melt butter in large bowl, stir in italian mix. Stir in soup, wine, and softened cream cheese. Mix well, pour over chicken. Cover and cook on low heat 4-5 hours, or hight heat 2-3 hours. Serve over hot cooked pasta.

Enjoy!

The Laundry Room

I am in organization mode! Look out family cause things are being tossed out left and right, and they don't even know it! This month I am focusing on the Laundry Room. This room in my house drives me crazy. Everyone comes through the LR because it's the door from the garage that leads into the house. So this becomes the drop off, catch all for everything. When we don't have a place for it, put it in the LR. I've been trying to think about different ways to organize it and make it neat and pretty. Tomorrow is the big day of cleaning out the cabinets and chunking then making my list of what I need to organize certain projects. Check out these Laundry rooms though! Our LR is no where near this space. HGTV is great!

Menu Mondays

Today is the start of Menu Mondays for my blog. I have been reading various other blogs and sites lately that focus on being a good "keeper of my home", meaning being more frugal and better organization. One of the sites I really like is Stretching a buck. So I will post my menu for the week but in turn I would love to see some other menus for some ideas. Keep in mind that we are trying to eat healthier and not as expensive meals. Another site I am enjoying is Five dollar dinners, the challenge is to create a meal for $5 or less. There are so many other blogs that I will add to my blog list, so check them out some time. These women are amazing. I am also so excited to see so many godly women out there on these blogs really ministering to the world. Another reason this is so exciting to me is I see at as a sign of the return of Jesus. His word says that everyone will have been able to hear the message and know about Jesus before His return and the information highway is doing a great job of speeding that up. Get ready world, I hope you are ready for Jesus, cause His word says that one day every knee shall bow and every tongue confess that he is Christ the Lord. So if you don't have a relationship with our Lord I encourage you to pray for forgiveness of your sins and to ask Jesus to come into your heart and be Lord of your life. It's that simple but you do have to ask. Our God is a gracious and merciful God and he wants to give, you just have to ask.

Now back to menu planning.

I have always planned our meals so this is not a new thing for me, but I'm always looking for new ideas and recipes.

Monday - Spaghetti and salad
Tuesday - Fish/ Brown rice/veggies
Wednesday - Quesadillas (how do you spell that word) and salad
Thursday- Beef Tips/noodles/ veggies
Friday - Breakfast (yum, i love breakfast for dinner, eggs, biscuits, bacon so not healthy)

Saturday we had soup and sunday we had chicken enchiladas ( healthy version).

Another menu tip that I learned from a bible study at our church is to start making menu cards. And then once you have a good supply built up you don't even have to think about menus anymore you just pull out your cards. You can also put your grocery/supply list on the back of the cards so you have that handy as well. Great idea, I started this but then we started cooking a bit healthier so now I need to redo the cards.
