Happy Holidays!!

Our Tree is up! I love it and it is beautiful. Bob did a really good job of modifying it to fit in our house! No topper this year though...just a Red bow is all we can manage...but I actually like it better I think! :-) Oh and Decovin helped me put up his ornaments but after he got his new ornament for the year (Buzz Lightyear that he picked out), all he wanted to do was play with it, it talks and makes noise...so much for getting help finishing up the ornaments...haha! It was fun watching him regardless!

Here he is playing with Buzz UNDER the tree! LOL! I think he thought it was a good hiding spot! Too cute!

Scroll down to my next blog for a recipe I posted also! Yum!

Mmmmmm Tastey....

Here is a recipe that Marianne gave to me long ago...it is easy and DELICIOUS!! We had it last night as a matter of fact:

Chicken in Wine Sauce

3 lbs. chicken pieces, preferably breasts & thighs

Salt & Pepper

2 TBsp butter

1 medium onion, sliced

1 can (4oz) sliced mushrooms (I prefer fresh but either work)

1/2-1 cup dry sherry

1 tsp Italian seasoning

Hot cooked rice

Rinse Chicken parts and pat dry. Season chicken lightly with salt & pepper. In skillet, melt butter and quickly brown chicken parts; remove w/slotted spoon & place in slow cooker. Saute onions & mushrooms in skillet. Add sherry & stir, scraping to remove brown pieces. Pour contents of skillet into crock pot over chicken. Sprinkle with italian seasoning. Cover & Cook on low for 8-10 hours or on high 3 to 4 hours...I notice it takes less time than suggested...so just keep an eye on it towards the end.

Serve with hot rice. Chicken just falls off the bone and the breast meat just falls apart...AWESOME!!!

Bob likes it with mashed potatoes...so whatever you like really!

Thanks Marianne!!
