Today was definately all about Mommy for Daniel.
Very much in Mommy's face all day long, but at least he was in a good mood.
Although, there was one moment of self love in there....

I made one of these at my Mom's to leave for company and then came home and made one for us. Randall LOVED it! I used canned chicken on the one at home and wasn't crazy about it, then tried some of the leftovers at Mom's the next day that I made with the cooked shredded chicken - like night and day! A true winner!
Lisa's Cheesy Fondue Chicken Casserole
1 1/2 cups Ritz crackers, crushed
1/2 cup butter (separated into two 4 Tblspn portions)
Boneless chicken, cooked and shredded (The chicken MUST be shredded. If you chop or cube it, it won't taste as good and the texture won't be right.
3 Tblspns flour
1 1/2 cups milk
2 cups shredded cheddar
Melt 4 Tblspns of butter. Mix with cracker crumbs. Put one cup of the crumb mixture into a casserole dish (I use a 2 qt). Place cooked, shredded chicken on crumbs.
In a saucepan, melt 4 Tblspns butter. Add flour. Stir until butter absorbs flour. Add milk and cheese. Cook on medium until thick. Stir constantly. It takes about 5 minutes to thicken up - It won't seem like it's thickening at first, but keep stirring, it will thicken to the consistency of a thick cheese fondue.
Pour over chicken.
Sprinkle remaining crumbs on top.
Bake 10-12 minutes at 450.
Keep checking so the crumbs don't burn!
Monday 1/21:
Potato Soup
This was sooo yummy and easy! Randall really liked it and he's not that big on soup! It orginally called for plain hasbrowns and 1/2 c chopped onion, so the O'Brien potatoes are a nice shortcut on an already easy recipe!
1 bag (28-30oz) Frozen O'Brien Hashbrowns
3 cans (2 2/3 c) Chicken Broth
1 can cream of chicken soup
1 8 oz brick cream cheese, softened
mix 1st three ingredients in a crock pot and cook on low for 5 hours.
mix in cream cheese and cook for another 30 minutes.
stir and enjoy!

Tomatillo Chicken
I just HAD to buy tomatillos at the Farmers Market the weekend before, even though I had no idea what to do with them. Found a recipe, tweaked it for the ingredients I had and it was really good! A nice change of pace....
1 pound tomatillos
1 teaspoon ground chilli powder
adobo to taste
2 large green onions, white and green portions, chopped
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
2 teaspoons olive oil
½ cup chicken broth
1 cup shredded cheese
Preparation:
1.Remove papery husks from tomatillos; rinse under cold water. Cut into quarters and set aside.
2.Sprinkle chilli pwoder and Adobo on both sides of chicken breasts. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add oil and chicken and cook for 3 minutes on each side until chicken is browned (the chicken will not be cooked through at this point).
3.Add reserved tomatillos, broth and onions and bring to a simmer. Cover and simmer 25 to 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until chicken is no longer pink in the center and tomatillos are tender.
Transfer chicken and tomatillo sauce to serving plates; garnish with cheese.
