A Precious Sight

It's fall and I am in love. It is my favorite time of year; the smells, the colors, the weather, football, Thanksgiving. The weather today is perfect. My windows are wide open. I am not, however, writing today because I love fall. I am writing to document such a sweet sight I witnessed just before Doodle's nap. Something I want to remember and treasure.

(This blog is an online baby book of sorts.)

As I said, the windows in the house are wide open. I look up to see Doodle looking outside, using his finger to poke at something on the screen. He says, "Pider," and proceeds to start singing and performing hand motions of "The Itsy Bitsy Spider" song.

Melt. My. Heart.

I hope and pray your days are filled with equally precious moments.

These pics are several months old.

I was browsing through digital picture folders today and came across these.

I plan to use them for blackmail in the distant future.



What's For Dinner?

Dinner, Supper, whatever your family may call it, can be difficult. I like to menu plan but sometimes I just run out of ideas or nothing sounds good.

Fall is my favorite time of year. I love the weather change, the colors, smells, and the chance to cook cooler-weather dinners! I made one of those dinners tonight and thought I would share it with you. It is so easy to prepare, inexpensive, and Doodle gobbles it right up!

This is one of my go-to meals; it is so easy to have all the ingredients on hand.

If you make it, let me know what you think; ENJOY!

Chicken Pot Pie

2 small chicken breasts

2 cans mixed vegetables, drained*

2 cans cream of potato soup

1/2 c. milk

2 deep dish pie crusts

salt and pepper to taste

Boil or brown chicken breasts. Cut into small pieces.

In a med-large bowl combine mixed vegetables, potato soups, milk, salt and pepper.

Place 1 pie crust into pie pan.

Pour mixture into crust.

Cover with 2nd pie crust.

 Cut slits in pie crust that is on top.

Bake in oven at 375 degrees for 45 minutes or until brown.

*I prefer to use Veg-all brand mixed vegetables and to use 1 large can instead of 2 smaller cans. I am A-ok using generic brands but some things are just better name-brand. I have used generic mixed veggies but the vegetable ratios aren't what I get with Veg-all brand. All other ingredients, I use Kroger brand.*
