I am Blessed!!!

I can’t believe it has been over a week since I last blogged. I guess you can tell that not much has been going on here.

We are all doing well and Nathan earned his Bobcat in scouts. That was so exciting for both Mom and Nathan. I would post pictures, but somehow there are none.

I have been cooking up a storm. I love this slightly cooler weather.

I wish I had more to say, but I don’t. Sorry.

Chicken Biscuit Bake

I miss cooking. I use to love to try new things, but for some reason I gave it up for a while. Lately I have been getting the cooking bug again (Thanks to the good examples of my wonderful friends.) I pulled out my old Taste of Home Quick Cooking magazines and found a few recipes to try. Today was this chicken bake. I found this in the May/June 2000 magazine on page 47. I doubled the recipe and made it very early so that Christian and Eric could eat it before they left for a church activity. It wasn't done in time and you can tell it was a rushed job.

This is a picture of the first pan. You can tell it is the first pan by the lack of biscuits on the top. If I wasn't in a rush I would have known that I could put 40 halves on each pan. So instead I just guessed and it looks funny.

This is the second pan with too many biscuits. I have to say it still looks better this way.
So now you are thinking how did they taste. They are good. I need my Honey to come home to give me an honest opinion. I think next time I will use a little less celery seed in the topping and a little less Worcestershire sauce too.

Pictures

Today I ran into my good friend Nancy at the store. She is such a sweetie. I miss working with her. Well she let me know that I don't put enough pictures on my blog (I think she was talking about the Baby). So I am putting pictures on this blog today.

August 25, 2008 ~ After days of Brantley wanting me to keep him standing up I ran out a bought a used exersaucer for him. It is now his favorite toy. He is much happier and I get to cook again.

What a beautiful baby. Check out those cheeks.

We are so blessed. These are all of the clothes that are 9-12 months. Brantley should be warm this winter.

His shirt says it all "Handsome."
