Dinner in Marksville

Hello everyone, had a rough night last night with Dorothy being ill, I stayed up all night with her, and then today I had my two grand daughters on top of having both Dorothy and Deanna home. Deanna is now sick and sleeping on the couch across from me.

I have been trying dinners out that can be frozen ahead of time but don't want to go and freeze four of something and find out no one likes it. Last nights dish was a success you can read about it here. Tonight we had Swiss Cheese Chicken but as you know I often change up the recipe to accommodate our family so the original is in black and ours is in red if it is changed.

INGREDIENTS:
4 Chicken Breasts (or enough to fill pan) we used 3 large breasts our store which is IGA has the best chicken that I have had since we raised our own chickens when I was growing up. 
6 Slices Swiss Cheese I used 8 slices of American Cheese it is all we had.
1 can Cream of Chicken Soup
¼ cup milk 1/2 cup of milk
Stove Top Turkey Stuffing (about ½ box) Whole Box for us
¼ c butter
DIRECTIONS:
Cover bottom of pan with chicken.
Lay Swiss Cheese over chicken. we used american
Mix 1 can cream of chicken soup and ¼ cup milk. we used 1/2 cup of milk
Pour mixture over chicken.
Top with ½ bag (or more) of Stove Top Turkey Stuffing. we used a whole box 
Drizzle ¼ cup butter on top.
Bake at 350 for 45-60 minutes.
Serve over rice.  We served ours along side long grain rice and mixed vegetable blend of broccoli, cauliflower and corn.

What our family thought about this dish. Another winner for the freezer meals. We talked about ways to change it up. My husband says when we freeze ours we are going to change up the mixture each time. One we are going to try is adding Ham before Swiss Cheese, Mushroom soup, then the rest of the ingredients to make a kind of Chicken Cordon Blue dish. You can do so many things with this recipe. Sorry I didn't snap a photo but if you follow the link above you will see how great it looks when it comes out of the oven. Super easy and yummy for your tummy.

IPhone 5 Armband - Pro Athlete Quality Review



One of the things I like best about  being a blogger is being able to review items and then come back here and tell my readers about  the products. The MUV armband that I have right now fits my daughter iPod 5 touch perfectly without it's case. My daughter does not like having to take her iPod out of it's case so that is the only downfall we saw, but she does like being able to run on the tred mill without having to worry about her iPod. 

Of course this will come in handy in the warmer months as well as she runs the trails with her sisters too. Finally they all have their own except for Dorothy. I haven't seen any made for little kids yet. 






You can purchase the Muv IPhone 5 Armband - Pro Athlete Quality on Amazon.

- The premium red stitching puts this armband in the best class of quality, durability and style.
- The superior velcro will remain intact and will ensure that the band does not slip off your arm, even in the most intense workouts.
- All of the openings are also reinforced and hence tear-resistant.
- The ultra soft neoprene ensures full comfort and no damage to your skin.

My Favorite Animal: Cobras Review



MarksvilleandMe reviews My Favorite Animal: Cobras 
written by 
Victoria Marcos

My Favorite Animal: Cobras is a great book for both early readers as well as those who would like to learn more about Cobras. What I like best is that after a some information the books asks you to answer questions, then it goes on to tell you more about Cobras and then another question and so on till the end. 

This is great for helping children comprehend what they are reading or hearing. This is something you don't see in many books and something that can really help your reader from the very beginning. My girls love to learn about new animals and through xist Publishing they are able to do this. 

You can purchase My Favorite Animal: Cobras on Amazon.

Tea with the Queen Review


MarksvilleandMe reviews Tea with the Queen
written by
Chrissi Hart

Tea with the Queen is a really fun book to read with your children or for your older children to read on their own. Who wouldn't want to have tea with the Queen?  When mice have their Hundredth Birthday they are able to have Tea with the Queen and invite two guests. Of course on the way to see the  Queen there is an adventure and at the end there is a Funny Surprise. 

This was a delight to both my children and myself. My grand father was from England and spoke of his time there many times to my father and his siblings. One of the places I would like to visit someday is England to learn about the place my Grandfather came from and see it in person.

You can purchase Tea with the Queen on Amazon.
