Chicken Recipe & Elf Update

I made a super easy Crock Pot dinner last night that I could have sworn that I had posted on here before, but I searched the archives and don't see it. So, I'm going to share it with ya below, along with a few Percy the Elf pictures!

Recipe: Crock Pot Chicken & Stuffing

This is one of Brian's favorite recipes, and the kids love it too, so that's always a win-win in my book. The only problem with it, is that it's not the "prettiest" recipe I've ever seen. It comes out sort of looking like brown mush. But that's because there is Stove Top stuffing on top, which technically is brown mush, really. Anyhow, try to look past the aesthetics and go with the fact that it's an easy and family-friendly recipe!

Ingredients:
  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (thawed)
  • 1 can cream chicken soup
  • 1/3 cup milk
  • 1 box Stove Top Stuffing
  • 1 2/3 cups of water
Directions:
1. Spray Crock Pot with Pam and then place chicken breasts inside. Generously sprinkle chicken with salt & pepper.

2. In a medium size bowl, mix together the soup & milk until combined. Pour over chicken.
3. Using the same bowl, mix together the Stove Top Stuffing & water. Let it sit for a few minutes until the dry stuffing has absorbed the water. Pour on top of the chicken.

4. Cover & let cook on low 6-8 hours.

It's as easy as that! Serve it with veggies & garlic bread and you've got yourself an easy weeknight meal!

Now, on to more fun things...

Percy the Elf Update

There has been no shortage of craziness when it comes to our Elf lately. He's been...

Pretending to poop out a Hershey's Kiss:
Having an ice cream party with our salt & pepper shakers in the freezer:
And taking a marshmallow "bubble bath" in the guest bathroom (yes, there's water in that tub!).
 
The kids have really gotten into it this year. Parker wakes up and says, "Where Percy???" And then they both go on a hunt around the house looking for him. 
I love hearing their reaction when they find him - it's so funny!

It's date night tonight! I'm so excited. We haven't been out alone in too long. Sitter arrives at 5:45 and this mama is puttin' on her heels and headin' out... let's just hope it's not coupled with Parker screaming at the top of his lungs like usual. ;)
