Chicken and Rice

This is a favorite meal for two of my grandchildren, Syd and Bella. They always ask for it!


4-6 Chicken breasts or 10-12 chicken tenders.
3 Cups cooked rice.
1 Can cream of chicken soup
1 Cup shredded cheese.


Cook the rice. 
Put it into a medium casserole dish. Mix the cream of chicken soup with the rice.
Cut the chicken breasts or tenders into strips. Lay strips on top of rice/soup mixture.
Bake in 350 degree oven or 30 minutes or until chicken is cooked.
Spread shredded cheese on top and return to oven until cheese is melted. 

Fruit KaBob

These fruit kabobs are coming out of a watermelon! This isn't my recipe but it was so good looking and good tasting I had to put it on my blog in case anyone is looking for a great idea! The fruits are strawberries, pineapple, blueberries, watermelon, grapes, muskmelon, etc. This was at my grandson's graduation open house.
The fruit dip is delicious too. In fact, the name of it is 
Fabulous Fruit Dip!
1 lb marshmallow cream
1 lb cream cheese, softened
Mix with 2 Tbls orange juice.

Ham Gravy

I've been told you can't make ham gravy. Well, I didn't know that and apparently neither did my mother! She taught me how to make it and we love it! Soooo......

Bake your ham in a very low oven  250 to 275 for probably three hours, depending on how big it is. Most hams are pre-cooked. Be sure to read the instructions on the ham.
Make sure the juice from the ham doesn't burn, keeping the oven low should work..
Remove the ham.
Add water to the juice.
While it's heating to a boil, make a flour/water paste. (Like for other gravy)
Pour the flour/water paste into the slowly boiling juice.
Stir, stir, stir.
No salt, it's salty from the ham.
It should make a beautiful tan gravy.
Hmmm, so tasty. So easy.
Try it...you'll like it!
