Russell started back to school this week and I have started teaching voice and piano lessons in the afternoon and early evenings. I won't be home most nights until 7. I don't have the luxury to throw something together at the last minute. I have been trying to do a meal plan for a long time. I hope I can stick with it. I would like to eventually get to the point of being able to do a monthly meal plan. When that happens I will let you know. I will try to share my recipes as often as I can, but I might forget everynow and then. This is a great way for me to get my recipes all typed out, in one place instead of trying to remember which cookbook it is in. In the words of Julia Childs "Bon Appetit". (If you haven't seen the movie Julia and Julie you should. I loved it)

Poppyseed Chicken

4 chicken breasts

1/2 cup of Sour Cream (i use the light kind)

1 can Cream of Chicken

Sleeve of Ritz crackers

1/2 a stick of butta

poppyseeds (as many or as few as you like. start with a T and go from there)

Boil chicken until it's done and then dice. Mix chicken with sour cream and cream of chicken soup. Put in an 8x8 pan. Melt butter. Crush crackers. Mix crackers, poppyseeds and butter together and spread on top of the chicken mixture. Bake at 350 for 30-40 minutes.

This is my go to recipe for something easy and super yummy. It's really easy to double for a crowd as well. There are so many different ways to make this. Look around and play with what works best for you and your family. Have a good week!
