Crock Pot Chicken & Rice
This is our new very favorite/easy crock pot chicken & rice recipe yum! I found it on Pintrest. If you are looking for a great Crock Pot recipe for this fall this is the one!
Ingredients:
2-4 frozen boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 pkg. (8 oz.) cream cheese (let sit out to soften)
1 can cream of chicken soup
1 pkg. italian dressing seasoning (the dried kind in the packet)
rice
Stir the cream cheese, cream of chicken, and seasoning together in the crockpot. I actually start it on low and let them sit in there for about 30 min so the cream cheese is softer to stir. Put the frozen (because i'm lazy) chicken in and cover with the mix. Cook on high 4-6 hours or until the chicken is cooked and fall-apart-tender. After the first two hours when the chicken is softer I cut it up into strips for easier eating. How easy is that!?
Cook the rice in a pot and smother with chicken mixture! The italian seasoning is the secret ingredient! So yum! and so easy!

Mallorie's First Birthday
I am late in posting the but I guess better late than never! The weekend after Mallorie's birthday we had friends and family over for burgers and hot dogs on the grill and a lot of other yummy food. I went with a flower theme for her party.
This is a shot of the table and some of the decorations before all of the food was out. (I was to busy to get one with all of the food out.) I loved the idea of putting the silverware in mason jars decorated with ribbon. I also made her garland.
I used pool noodles that I found at the dollar store. I cut them about an inch thick and then strung them together with clear thread. I love the was that it turned out and Mallorie loved to play with them after the party. I also decided to make her cake. I spend a lot of time baking the cake and had big plans for it. It was going to be a big daisy with Mallorie's cake in the middle part of the flower and a 9 inch round cake cut into sections (like a pie) for the petals. The recipe called for me to frost each section of the cut 9 inch round cake that I had cut. That was harder that I thought it would be. the frosting pulled the cake apart and it was just a mess. So at about 11 p.m. I cleaned up and just went to bed. I decided to just make cupcakes for everyone else and still use the middle part for Mallorie's cake.
I got the idea for these from a blog that I follow. In the end I LOVE the way that the cupcakes and Mallorie's cake turned out. Mallorie loved her cake too!
She has such a fun day filled with friends, family, good food, presents, and celebrating.
I can not believe how quickly this year has gone and that my baby is one. She is such a joy in our lives and can not imagine it without her. Happy Birthday Baby Girl!
