Slow Cooker Chicken Alfredo



Slow Cooker Chicken Alfredo

Prep time: 15 minutes
Cook time: 2.5 hours

Ingredients:

4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - cubeed
2 (16 ounces) jars Alfredo pasta sauce
4 slices Swiss cheese
3 TBLS grated Parmesan cheese
1 tsp garlic powder
salt and pepper to taste 

Directions: 
In the crock of a slow cooker, stir together the chicken cubs and Alfredo sauce. Cover, and cook on Low for 2 hours. Add Parmesan cheese and Swiss cheese; cover and cook for another 30 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through. Season with garlic powder, salt and pepper and stir before serving. 

I like to serve them on Egg Noodles and have french bread with it.

Remarkable Fudge

Remarkable Fudge


This is my and my family's favorite fudge. I got this recipe
from my Mom. 

Remarkable Fudge

4  Cups sugar
2  5 1/3 ounce cans evaporated milk
1  Cup butter or margarine
1  12 - ounce package (2 cups) semisweet Chocolate pieces 
1  7- ounce jar marshmallow creme
1  teaspoon vanilla

Butter the sides of heavy 3-quart saucepan. In it combine sugar, evaporated milk, 
and butter or margarine. Cook and stir over medium heat till mixture comes to a 
boiling. Cook to 236 degrees (soft-ball stage), about 12 mins, stirring freequently
(mixture should boil gently over entire surface). Remove from heat. Add remaining
ingredients; stir till combined adn chocolate is melted. Turn into a buttered 9x9x2-inch
or 13x9x9-inch pan. Score into squares while warm; cut when firm. If fudge is soft, chill.
Makes about 3 1/2 pounds.


This is how I open my evaporated milk cans.  My 
girls always love to do this part.


 I melt the butter first. Then once it is all melted. I add the 
sugar and evaporated milk to it.



Once it comes to a boil I put the timer on if you don't have 
a candy thermometer. They cam out to about the same. 
I did have to this time do it a bit longer but since I had 
the candy thermometer I went to what it says. 
I have done it before with the timer and it turns out 
just right.


 The fun part of adding the chocolate and marshmallow
creme.


 Enjoy!!!!

   Happy Cooking!

Round Placemats & Coasters

Round Placemats & Coasters
My 8 year old asked if we could start using placemats
at dinner time. So we went onto the internet and found 
a pattern she liked. We then went out and she got to pick
the color of yarn she wanted.  
She picked a beautiful green and pink and pink yarn. 
I worked on them for  a few weeks. Did them in between orders 
and my free time.  
Here is where I got the link:

Here are a few pictures of our placemats



Hint: I did do an extra round at the end. I did a slip stitch
all around it. I thought it made for a cleaner look. 

For the Coasters I just did the first five rounds on the pattern. 
I then did a one single crochet in one stitch and then two 
single crochets in the next all the way round. Then in the 
last row I did a slip stitch all the way around. 

They were really easy to make and can't wait to tackle a new
placemat pattern soon.

Lil Miss Legwarmers

Lil Miss Legwarmers



These were so much fun to make. My 8 year old picked the 
yarn out herself. I went back to get more to make some mittens,
scarf and hat for her. But sadly they discontinued it at the store. 
I am going to check online to see if they still have it. 

Here is the link:


Here is fun pictures I showed of at the start. To show a sneak peek look. 


I was playing with my little one on the floor. When Iooked up. I thought
what a cool picture this would be. 


 Idea I like to do with patterns that say how many inches needs to be. 
I have a counter and like to write down how many rows I was on. 
Then I don't have to measure all the time and get them exactly 
the same. Then next time I can just go with those rows. 
Just a small hint/idea if you are starting out or 
well just didn't think of it.




I can't wait to make more in other colors.

would like to.

Quick Bun Updo

Quick Bun Updo + Dries to Curls



Today I tried this cute hair style. It was very easy to do. 
Here is the video from youtube on how to do it. 


I do not put anything in my wet hair. I thought I will try it out
and see how it turns out. I did use a bit of this in the front of my hair. 


I got this a few years ago from my beautician.I really like this stuff. 
What I like the most is a little goes a long way. That is why I have 
had it for so long. 

Here is what my hair looks like today. 



Not the best side view. Since I took it myself. But you can still see the 
bun part. 
I can't wait to see what it looks like once my hair drys. I will get picture's 
of that later and post it tomorrow for you all to see. 

Wow look at all that grey hair. I knew I was getting quite a bit but 
this really does surprise me a bit more.

Happy styling!
