Chicken and Stuffing Casserole


I found this delicious recipe in the Worldwide Ward Cookbook: Secret Recipes. It was very filling and my family loved it. As Simba (my oldest) would say it was screaming good.

Ingredients:

1 large chicken (I used the rotisserie chicken from Costco)
1 10.75-oz can of cream of chicken soup
2 cups sour cream
1 box stuffing mix.

Directions:

Cook and debone chicken (or go to Costco and buy rotisserie chicken and debone). Cut into bite-size pieces. In a 9x13 inch pan, spread chicken evenly on the bottom. Cover chicken with cream of chicken soup. Spread sour cream on top of the soup (I mixed the sour cream and the cream of chicken soup together). Prepare stuffing mix as directed on the box then spread on top. Cover with aluminum foil. Bake at 350 for 60 minutes and then uncovered for an additional 15 minutes.

School Lunch Fruit Cups


A great treat for those endless school lunches. Pioneer Woman introduced this idea on the Food Network and I had to give it a try. It was an easy and very tasteful treat.

Ingredients:
4 cups of fresh or frozen peaches cut into large chunks
2 cans mandarin oranges (drained)
2 cans crushed pineapple (drained)
1 can fruit cocktail (drained)
6 medium firm (mostly green) bananas cut into chunks
1 small can of frozen pineapple-orange juice concentrate (thawed)
1/3 cup lemon juice

Directions:
Combine the peaches, oranges, pineapple, fruit cocktail, bananas, juice concentrate, and lemon juice in a bowl and mix until combined.


Place in small disposable plastic cups and cover with plastic wrap, foil, or lids. (I found my containers at Cash and Carry) Freeze until firm. Remove from the freezer 45 minutes to an hour before serving to thaw. (I put them in the kid’s lunch bag frozen and it is ready to eat by lunch time)
