Last Saturday, Kaitlin, Hayden, Kelsey Gaithe (my cousin), Ashley Carter (friend) and I took a trip to Terra Studios (http://www.terrastudios.com/). I have always loved this place. There is something completely magical about it. I love all the knomes, pottery, blue birds, glitter and glitz, magical trails and the labyrinth. Plus, it is free. I can't wait to go back in the Spring when flowers are blooming and new life is introduced.

Shameful Little Indulgences
Okay, first, I do not watch a lot of t.v. I just feel like there is not enough time in the day. But, I do like to use it for background noise while cleaning or for those special times. :)
So, today I spent a little time adding some Shameful Indulgences to the Netflix instant queue. And, yes, I truely mean the word shameful!

Sometimes you have to Improvise
I love cooking new recipes, but don't have a lot of time in the evening with work, homework, reading, baths... and cooking. So, I try to improvise. Plus, I'm not a great cook, so if it takes longer than an hour, I pretty much give up before starting (I know, not a good example to set, right).
One recipe that the family loved, but had to be a "weekend meal" due to the length of time it takes to prepare and cook, is the Cheesy Chicken & Rice Casserole from the Campbells website. Here is the link: http://www.campbellskitchen.com/RecipeDetail.aspx?recipeId=27173&ref=%2fSearchRecipesResult.aspx%3ffilter%3d%26q%3dcheesy%2bchicken%26fbid%3dsuymo8XA6nm&fbid=suymo8XA6nm .
Here is how I make it, and my family likes it just as well.
1. I cook the rice in the microwave, while the oven is preheating at 375 degrees.
2. Once the rice is cooked, I mix in one large can of Cream of Chicken soup, one can of pea's and one can of corn (you can add any veggies).
3. Add your seasoning - pepper adds a lot of flavor.
4. Transfer the mixture into a cassarole dish.
5. Add canned chicken to the top, shredding it well. You can mix it into the mixture, if you desire. Top with cheese.
6. Bake for 30 minutes or until warm and cheese is melted. Enjoy.
