Chicken Suzanne

 

I'm not sure if all of these ingredients are Gluten Free, but the Shirley J Whisk Bliss is! And I am telling ya, it was good!

 

This recipe was adapted. I found this recipe in a book I got waaaaayyyyy back when I first got married. My sister in law told me that it was good, so I thought I would give it a try. I was glad I did, and not so glad I did.

 

I know you are thinking, "Why isn't she glad she tried it?"

Here's why: It had all sorts of fatty things in it. I told my husband I will have to only make this once a month, he agreed because he is on a diet.

 

Anyways...You are probably thinking: "Lady get on with it."

 

So it's adapted. Shirley J's Whisk Bliss can substitute ANY cream soup. Which I love because I also, halved this recipe. I don't feed an army at home and leftovers go in the trash at my house, unless I eat them. You can't half a can of soup very easily without wasting money.

 

5 medium potatoes                                          1/2 c. Miracle Whip
4-5 boneless, skinless chicken                         2 T. lemon juice
breasts                                                              1 c. sour cream
1c. cheddar cheese                                           1/2 c. melted butter
1 c. Whisk Bliss Original or Gluten Free         2 c. water
1/2 t. Shirley J's Chicken Bouillon                   1/2 t. celery seeds (optional)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Peel and slice potatoes and line the bottom of a 9 x 13 cooking dish with them. Cook the chicken and dice it. Put Whisk Bliss and water in a sauce pan and bring to a simmer, then add bouillon and celery seeds to it. Mix Miracle Whip, lemon juice, sour cream, cheddar cheese and Whisk Bliss mixture together. Put chicken over the potatoes and then pour mixture over all of it. Sprinkle bread crumbs over and melted butter. Cook for 35 minutes or until potatoes are done.

I think this would even be better without the potatoes and serve it over rice.

September's Emergency Preparedness Month

So, who wants to think about a disaster? NOT ME! I don't want to think about what could happen if something goes wrong. However, I need to and so do you. It is essential for us, as adults, to think of these things so that we can protect and prepare our little ones.
 My kids are probably so tired about hearing: "Nope, that's for emergencies." They aren't sure what an emergency is, thank goodness, but they know that if there is one there are things we are to grab and fun things in the emergency items.
 Anyways, I will be putting out a few posts about preparing for emergencies. They are no where near what others may have. I am just providing for you what I have learned. I will also be posting pictures and websites that have helped me.
 I hope this will encourage you to spend your September preparing for any small or major emergencies that might be coming. (Let's pray they never do, but prepare like they might.) I know I need to get some of my emergency items in order.
 Good luck and I hope you keep with me as I share what I have done.
