Crockpot Cream Cheese Chicken

Did I post this one already? :o)

Cream Cheese Chicken

4-6 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 oz. dry packet of Italian Salad Dressing Mix
salt and pepper
1 can cream of chicken soup
8 oz. cream cheese
1/2 c chicken broth
1 large onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced

Layer chicken breasts with the dry italian dressing mix in the crock pot. Cover and cook on low until the chicken is done and it's about an hour before you want to eat. Brown the onion in a pan on the stove in oil, butter or chicken broth . Add the cream cheese, soup, salt and pepper, chicken broth and garlic. Whisk smooth. Pour the sauce over the chicken in the crockpot and cook 35-40 minutes. Remove chicken to a platter and put the sauce into a gravy boat and serve along side.

Angel Bars

I've been making these since the Fall of 2000. They are, indeed, heavenly! Since I've made them so many times and for so many years, I've found you can deviate from the recipe a bit and they will still turn out delicious every time.


Angel Bars

72 crackers (Keebler Butter, Club Crackers, Ritz Crackers - I've used them all!)
1 c butter
1/2 c milk
2 c graham cracker crumbs (store bought or crush your own but make sure they are finely crushed)
1 c brown sugar
1/3 c white sugar
2/3 c peanut butter
1/2 c milk chocolate chips
1/2 c semi-sweet chocolate chips


Line a 9X13 inch pan with foil. Spray the foil with Pam. Lay crackers down to cover the bottom of the pan, side by side, but don't overlap. In a saucepan melt the butter. Add the sugars and the milk. Bring to a boil, reduce and keep on a low boil for 5 minutes. Add the graham crackers, bring to a boil again and let boil for full minute.

Spread half of this mixture over the crackers. Layer another layer of crackers and pour the rest of the graham mixture over. Top with the third layer of crackers.


Melt together the peanut butter and chocolate chips. Spread over the top and chill 4 hours.

Cuts beautifully into sharp, nice squares showing the layers. Enjoy!

Tortellini Salad

This is one of those recipes that you don't really *need* a recipe for. You basically just need a reminder of seeing it to say "Oh! I haven't made one of those in a while...." and make it. Use what you have on hand. Leave out what you don't like. But here is a basic recipe to jog your memory.


1 frozen 20 oz. package tortelli or 2 packages dry - I like the tri-colored or 4 cheese filled
1 package pepperoni, chop
1 red pepper, dice
1 green pepper, dice
1 cup cheese, cubed (cheddar, mozzarella, provolone... use what you have)
1 sweet onion, chopped
1 bottle zesty italian dressing if you must - but I really prefer to buy the dry mix and make it from scratch. It has a much better flavor!

Boil the tortelli and drain and run cold water over to cool. Mix all ingredients. Let set 1 hour if you have the time or just serve immediately. Serves 6 plus extra for tomorrows lunch!
