[ spring break sunday ]

Today turned out to be a great day! I went to church and to lunch with the fam. Then came home and started making chicken in the crockpot. The social committee at school is planning to surprise one of the teachers with a bunch of freezer meals when we get back after Spring Break. Her husband was recently deployed with the National Guard, they just moved into a new house the week before he left, and they have three young kids. I thought freezer meals was a great idea and am so happy to participate. Except for that I don't really cook! :) ha! I did find a good recipe online (googled freezer meal recipes). I'll post it below.

Then, this afternoon, Jessica Fife and the boys came! She's throwing a baby shower for her sister-in-law and asked me to help her with a shower invitation. I did a little research online and found a cute one that I thought I could replicate. She liked it, so we made 22 of them! There is a pocket - she's going to type up the information and make a little tag to put in there. I think they turned out so cute!

Tomorrow I'm heading to town - I have a whole list of errands to run. I'm also planning on getting my passport picture taken. I have got to renew mine before it expires!!!

Then Tuesday - we're off to become Seattleites for a few days!!

Here's the recipe:

Cream Cheese Chicken
1 .7-ounce envelope Italian dressing mix
1/2 cup butter
2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breast
1 10.75-ounce can cream of chicken soup
1 8-ounce package cream cheese

Turn slow cooker on High. Place butter in bottom of slow cooker. When the butter has melted, add one envelope Italian dressing dry mix. Stir into butter until well mixed. Cut chicken breasts into 1" strips. Place in slow cooker and stir to coat with butter and dressing mix. Cover and cook on High for 2 hours. Remove chicken to plate to cool. Add cream of chicken soup and cream cheese. Stir to melt and mix well until smooth and creamy. Remove sauce from slow cooker and allow to cool. Place chicken and sauce into a gallon resealable freezer bag. Label. Freeze.

To serve: Thaw. Heat until piping hot and bubbly. Serve over mashed potatoes, rice, or hot buttered noodles.
