The weather in my neck of the woods:
It has been a rainy day. My husband and I spent the entire day watching TV and being lazy.
One of my simple pleasures:
Spending time with my husband.
On my bedside table:
Same as last week.
On my TV:
Little People Big World
On the menu for tonight:
Chicken soup and grilled cheese sandwiches.
On my To Do List:
Finish with my fall cleaning. I did not get everything done that I had planned to but I did get to spend some quality time with my husband.
New Recipe I tried last week: I have had this recipe for a while but never tried it until my husband's birthday party recently and everyone loved it. I had several people asking for the recipe.
King Ranch Chicken
1 large onion, chopped
1 large green bell pepper, chopped
2 tablespoons canola oil
2 cups cooked chicken, chopped (I used canned chicken)
1 can of cream of chicken soup
1 can of cream of mushroom soup
1 (10-ounce ) can of Rotel tomatoes
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon pepper
12 (6inch) corn tortillas
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
Saute onion and bell pepper in hot oil until tender. Stir in chicken and next 7 ingredients. Remove from heat. Tear tortillas into 1 inch pieces and layer 1/3 of them in the bottom of a lightly greased 13x9 baking dish. Top with 1/3 of the chicken mixture and 2/3 cup of cheese. Repeat layers two more times. Bake at 350 for 30-35 minutes.
In the craft basket:
Nothing at this time but I did make a new flower arrangement for my table in the den.
Looking forward to:
Cooler weather. We have already had a few days of cooler weather and I have enjoyed them.
Homemaking Tip for this week:
HAPPY THE HOME WHEN GOD IS THERE
Happy the home when God is there,
And love fills every breast;
When one their wish, and one their prayer,
And one their heavenly rest.
Happy the home where Jesus’ Name
Is sweet to every ear;
Where children early speak His fame,
And parents hold Him dear.
Happy the home where prayer is heard,
And praise each day does rise;
Where parents love the sacred Word
And all its wisdom prize.
Lord, let us in our homes agree
This blessèd peace to gain;
Unite our hearts in love to Thee,
And love to all will reign.
–Henry Ware
Favorite Blog Post of the week (mine or other):
Favorite photo from last week:
Recently I went through our old photographs looking for some my son could use to make a DVD celebrating my husband's 50th birthday. This is a favorite of mine. It was taken in April 1978; 5 months before we were married.
Lesson learned the past few days:
I've learned that I may need to take something for my menopause after all.
On my Prayer List:
Myself; my husband and our children
Skylar and other family members
Devotionals, Scripture Reading, Key Verses:
"The happiness of the home does not depend on the house or on what it contains; the people who live in the house MAKE the happiness,—or MAR it."
