Mini Chicken Pot Pies

I found a recipe online that looked yummy I normally don't follow a recipe I switch it up. So I will post a link on the bottom of the original recipe but here is the way I did it.

Ingredients:

3 boneless skinless chicken breast (chopped or shredded)
1 family size can of cream of chicken soup
16 grands original biscuits ( I couldn't find the 5 packs so I got 2 8 packs)
1 16 oz. bag of frozen veggies
1 c. shredded cheese (optional)
(garlic salt,or regular and pepper to taste)

Directions:
1. Preheat your oven to 375

2. In medium pan brown chopped chicken breast until its cooked all the way thriugh ( I used 2 tbsp. of butter, You can also boil your chicken in water until its done and shred it)

3. after your chicken is all the way done put it into a large bowl
mix in the can of cream of chicken soup, the mixed veggies, cheese and garlic salt (or regular salt) and pepper until well combined.

4. separate each biscuit and flatten them into a round circle and place one biscuit into each opening of a greased ( i used pam) muffin pan pressing it down and up the sides (it should over lap the opening)

5. Fill each biscuit with the chicken mixture ( this will vary on how full you want them I used a ice cream scoop and mine were pretty full)

6. After you fill each one pull the biscuits that are overlapping the pan up to the top over your filling and pinch it together so it will seal.

7. Bake at 375 for 20 mins. let cool for a min or 2 before you take them out or they might fall apart as you are trying to pull them out ( they should come out super easy by just grabbing them)



8. Enjoy these are so simple and yummy!!!

Dinner tonight (11-25-13)

So I have been looking around online for some new "fun" recipes that my kids would love... A few nights ago i did the tater tot casserole. I couldn't find a recipe that I liked so I got creative and made up my own (with a little guidence from so other recipes i found. It was a big hit everyone loved it. So tonight i am going to attempt the Mini Chicken Pot Pies because who don't love chicken, veggies, soup, and biscuits? I know my kids do and they love pot pies so i will be sure to take pictures of each step and post the recipe for you later, I always change up a recipe but i will link you to the one i started from.

Rimmel London Stay Matte liquid mousse foundation

Okay so i was lucky enough to get picked from influenster to try out the new Rimmel London stay matte liquid mousse foundation before it hits the store shelves in Jan. 2014. I always find that with my foundation after a couple hours i look and feel shiny ughhh!. Well as soon as i got the box in the mail i opened it and tried it out. Its a rather smallish tube of foundation but im telling you a little tiny ammount goes A LONG way. I love how it feels so smooth almost like a powder, it offers AMAZING coverage i dont have the best skin or perfect skin but this covers so evenly and gives a awesome flawless finished look. So i looked and felt amazing and i was hoping that by the end of the day (or a few hours later) it still looked great and to my surprise it DID!!! still looked as if i had just put it on! No shiny spots it didnt feel heavy or sticky what so ever its so light and airy it feels almost as if you were not even wearing any makeup . Im in love with this foundation i cant wait until it hits store shelves so i can buy it , from now on this will be my go to foundation. I recomend that everyone buy this as soon as you can you will love it. The shade i got was True beige #203 couldnt be more perfect for me. You should go check them out they have other great products as well.

My attempt at cotton candy

Okay so this is what i came up with i must say i think its pretty cute and Chevelle loves it and really thats all that matters.

 

Okay so this is what you will need.

1. an old white t-shirt (i used a small adult one i had laying around just pick one that works best for you child)

2. pillow fill ( i used about 3 bags depends on how fluffy you want it)

3. 1 can of spray adhesive (any brand will work i used elmers)

4. Spray paint (any color you want we used Krylon in ballet slipper pink)

5. a piece of poster board (to make the cone)

6. Some ribbon to tie on the hat (you can use elastic if you want but i didnt have any)

Okay so first i took the shirt (try it on them first to see if it will be the size you like) Then i put the shirt over a piece of cardboard so it would be flat, the started spraying the adhesive in small sections and stuck the pillow fill on and continued on one side until i got the whole shirt covered then let it dry. Flip it over and continue on back and sides. I allowed it to dry for an hour then sprayed the pillow fill with the adhesive and added more pillow fill on top (just because she asked for super fluffy cotton candy) let it dry for at least an hour, Then i sprayed it with the spray paint more like misted i held the can back so you wont get harsh lines or blobs, let it dry and repeat until you get the look you want. (ours has some white showing under but its okay looks more realistic). Take the poster board and roll it until you get a cone shape with a small hole on top just like a cotton candy stick then glue it i used hot glue but im sure any glue or tape or even staple it would work. ( i couldnt figure it out lol so my hubby did that part) it fit her head perfect. So i sprayed the bottom of the poster board and attached pillow fill . Then i hot glued the ribbon on each side (on the inside) of the hat and tada! cotton candy. (our shirt streached out a bit but nothing a saftey pin didnt fix. and i now have a happy 5 year old super fluffy cotton candy!!! 

My Little Cotton Candy

So my 5 year old daughter Chevelle is so random. She has such a big personality, since she was old enough to pick her own costume i have let her. For her first halloween i dressed her as a little bumble bee because she was only 1 month old. Next i chose a black kitty for her, after that she began to choose her own she wouldnt have it any other way so she was a hot dog (lol yes a hot dog), Olivia (the little pig from the cartoon), last year she was Obi-Wan Kenobi complete with a light saber (remind you shes a girl). So when i asked her what she would like to be this year she at first said Honey Boo Boo (lol). Then she found the robin thicke video and then had her mind set on cotton candy. I like to think of myself being pretty darn crafty but cotton candy? Hmmmm so after looking around on google,pinterest etc. i found one that we both loved. I couldnt find any that had instructions other than suggestions and a list of supplies. Well i got all the supplies and attempted it, And i must say it was a success she couldnt be happier (you can see it on her face when she tried it on). My other daughter Makhayla who will be 9 on nov.10 opted for an astronaut since she is currently obsessed with N.A.S.A so having 4 girls to get costumes for i couldnt see spending a ton on their costumes so back to google,pinterest, and youtube. I will be attempting that today. My 3 year old Jennessa chose thomas the train (my mom got lucky and found a costume at the thrift store) and my 2 year old Padmé well hers is still a secret only a select few know i will post on/after halloween. So in my next post i will put the pictures of the cotton candy costume along with MY instructions and supply list.

Ivory® 2-IN-1 Hair & Body Wash

I was given the wonderful opportunity to try out ivory's new 2-n-1 hair and body wash. I love love love this product it so convenient and in-expensive its all your shower needs in one and if your a stay at home mommy like me (with 4 kids ages 8,4,2,1) bath time can be a hassle with all the different soaps and shampoos, conditioners etc. Ivory makes it so simple its all in one not just shampoo and conditioner like most products but you can use it as body wash and even my kids used it as bubble bath. It saves space in the bath/shower also since its one bottle and not to mention its not expensive either. And if your like me shower time is pretty much jump in get wet jump out lol ( you get the idea). Ivory 2-n-1 makes my shower time so easy to because its one product/one bottle. I can wash my hair and body with one quick squirt of soap so i dont have to fear the kids are throwing them selfs temeper tanturms,wrestling matches in my living room, monkeys jumping on the bed, or little escape artist climbing from their cribs. It has cut down my shower time by minutes, and made bath time super simple and super fun for the kiddos. I think everyone should give it a shot. (I recieved the refreshing scent)

Heres a little run down of the expensense's i normally pay for bath items. Not per month because we run out very fast so probably 2 x's per month and this is just a guess.

Mom-
Shampoo- $5.99 
conditioner-$5.99 
body wash- $3.99-$5.49 (depends on my mood)

Dad-
Shampoo-$6.27 
body wash-$3.99 

Kids x's 4-
Shampoo-$4.97 x's 3 
Body wash for the babies- $4.97 x's 2
body wash for the older kids-$4.97
Bubble bath-$7.44 x's

Now if I buy the ivory 2-n-1 body wash for everyone in the family saves me all that space of those items plus a ton on money even if i buy a bottle for each of us and it lasts alot longer too. (Not to mention it smells so good) I can get it for around $4.00 per bottle so you can see how much im saving. And not to mention this is great for guest bathrooms as well makes things so easy for your guest.
Check out this great video for anyone who likes regular body wash

Last but not least I received this product complimentary from Influenster.

The Taste: Tuesday at 8|7c on ABC

I just a couple weeks ago found out a bout a new show on ABC called the taste. Its a fun cooking show. They start out with blind auditions where they choose 16 contestants each person makes the panel one bite of food (crazy just one bite) they then decide who made the best and worst food and pick their teams from there. Each week the have challenges where the contestants have to cook a dish for them each week they have a different theme (I.E it has to pair well with a wine or etc.) and the mentors have no idea which contestant cooked what dish whats in it or even how they prepared it. The person with the worst food goes home until only 1 person remains. I love cooking shows and this one is great i think everyone should watch it. Its different from other reality cooking shows they make it interesting and fun to watch. You can catch The Taste every  Tuesday at 8|7c on ABC.

Green Chile Chicken Enchiladas

Okay heres a rough draft for the green chile enchiladas you can adjust it to the way you like but this is the way i do it.

INGREDIENTS: 

1 family pack of chicken breast (about 7-10 pieces) boneless and skinless
1 family size can of campbells cream of chicken soup
1 family size can of campbells cream of mushroom soup
1 block (16 oz.) monterey jack cheese shredded
1 small can of green chilies 
aporox. 12-16 corn tortillias (depending on the size of your pan)
1/2-1 tsp. garlic salt ( i dont measure i just sprinkle it in until i like the taste)
1/2-1 tsp. black pepper (same as the garlic salt)


Directions-

Boil the chicken breast until they are done about 15-20 mins. Let the chicken cool then shred into a large pot, add in the soup,green chilies, garlic salt, pepper and stir together. Fry your corn tortillas lightly in a pan with oil ( i just put them in for 10 secs. each) they dont need to be all the way done,  take a spoonful of the chicken mixture and put it on the bottom of you pan, then add a layer of tortillas, then more chicken mix, then a layer of cheese. Continue layering until you reach the top of your pan or until you run out of mixture. The last layer should be cheese. Put it into the oven and bake on 425 for 15-20 mins. pretty much enough to melt the cheese so its lightly browned and bubbly. I let mine sit for about 10 mins. so it can set it then enjoy.

Creamy chicken enchiladas

Okay here is the way i make my creamy chicken enchiladas its taken from a recipe for Green chile enchiladas that a family friend gave to me my. I dont remember exact measurements but thats okay you dont need them you just adjust to your liking. For my family of 4 i do the following.

Global Green USA Green School Makeover Competition Presented by Pureology

This program would be great for any schools to have you should go enter your childs school....

WHY GREEN SCHOOLS?

When a school goes green, children benefit—as well as the environment! Green schools lead to: Improved student performance. When children learn in classrooms with natural daylight, improved sound quality and non-toxic building materials such as non-VOC carpets and paints, test scores can improve as much as 20%. Attendance also improves! More funds for student resources. When green upgrades are made to a school, water and energy costs can be reduced by as much as 40%. These savings can be channeled back into resources that directly benefit students, such as textbooks, computers and other essentials. Reduced carbon footprint. Greening a school significantly reduces carbon dioxide emissions that cause global warming. You can read more about this promotion and enter your childs school by heading on over to the Pureology website theres alot of helful information im entering my daughters school.
