Chicken Florentine Casserole in the crockpot

I have said all of this before, but I love allrecipes.com and I love Bountiful Basket!! I plan my menu for the week based on what I get in my basket. We eat a lot healthier sincbased on those two ingredients. This recipe is soo delicious! 

I am going to give you the recipe how I made it, then I will give you the original recipe. I did not have all the ingredients so I omitted and substituted some things.

Chicken Florentine Casserole in the crockpot

4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts halves

1/4 cup butter

4 cloves minced garlic

1 tbl lemon juice

1 can condensed cream of mushroom soup

1 tbl italian seasoning

1/2 cup whole milk

1/2 cup grated cheddar cheese

1 bunch of fresh spinach

4 ounces fresh mushrooms, sliced

1. Melt butter in medium saucepan over medium high heat. Stirring constantly, mix in the garlic, lemon juice, cream of mushroom soup, italian seasoning, milk and cheese.

2. Arrange spinach over the bottom of a crockpot. Cover the spinach with the mushrooms. Pour half of mixture from the saucepan over the mushrooms. Arrange chicken breasts in the dish. Sprinkle chicken with papirika, salt, and pepper. Top with remaining sauce.

3. Cook on low for 4 hours. (My chicken was frozen so I cooked it on high for 4 hours). If sauce is a little thin, add some flour and stir. Serve over noodles or rice.

This way turned out awesome and it was easy since it was in the crockpot. Now here is the original recipe, which is also awesome!

Rag Quilt Letters

I found this Rag Quilt Letters tutorial on this awesome blog, happy together. She has such cute ideas! I made these for my 18 month old for Christmas. I did not quilt my letters and I just made them from some left over fabric. They are all made from cotton. All three of my kids play with these letters all the time. I love them!!

Women's t-shirt to kid skirt

I have a really hard time giving clothes to goodwill. I do not have a problem going through my closets, but giving them away is a problem for me. I just know that I could make those clothes into something else. I went through my closet recently and kept a lot of shirts and jeans. I made one of my shirts into a skirt for my daughter.

I did not take a picture of the shirt before. It was a v neck with some buttons so I cut the shirt right under the v part of the neck. I had the bottom of the shirt, and it would fit my 4 year old perfectly as a skirt, so that is what I made! I love how it turned out. I just made a simple elastic waistband for the waist. No hemming the bottom since it is already hemmed :) I used the bottom of the shirt as the bottom of the skirt. I made it in 10 minutes...easy!
