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. 

Mashed Potato Pancakes

I think everyone knows how to make mashed potato pancakes but we just ate them last evening and they were so good I thought I'd put the recipe here even just as a reminder of another way to fix potatoes.

Left over mashed potatoes or fix some from instant mashed potatoes.
Stir in an egg.
Season with salt & pepper

Pour a small amount of olive oil in the bottom of a frying pan, just to cover the bottom.
Drop scoops of mashed potatoes on the hot olive oil.
Brown on both sides.
Flip over like a pancake.
