these pictures are from last year. she had a lot of fun!! anyone have ideas for cheap and easy activities for 12 year olds???

ps…until i get this blog up and running, some posts will likely be the same as blog-diggidy.blogspot

Cheesy Crescent Chicken

Monday, October 20th, 2008

pleased to bring you this recipe in cooperation with …

This is a revamped version of Live.Love.Eat’s Baked Crescent Almond Chicken. We took out the green pepper (we not likey so much) and added onion. We also did not use the almonds, we used CHEESE!!! Cause we are big cheese lovers in this house!!! We did tweak the amounts a bit to suit our tastes. We also used cream of mushroom soup per the advice at the end of the post on Live.Love.Eat. So here is the “new” recipe. You can see my helper in the picture!!

Cheesy Crescent Chicken

2 1/2 c. shredded Rotisserie Chicken

1/2 package of frozen spinach, thawed and drained

1 medium onion, diced

2 c. shredded sharp cheddar cheese, plus 1/2 c. to go on top just before baking

2-4 cloves minced garlic (you likey garlic, you add more)

3/4 c. cream of chicken OR cream of mushroom soup (undiluted)

1/2 t. salt

2 packages crescent rolls

**Put cooled chicken pieces into a large bowl. Add spinach , onion, cheese, garlic, soup and salt. Mix well. Place crescent rolls on GREASED cookie sheet, leaving triangles of dough attached to each other. Pinch seams of dough together to make one large rectangle of dough. Place chicken mixture down the center of the rectangle of dough, leaving a margin of dough on either side of mixture. Cut with a knife from the chicken mixture out to the edge of the rectangle on either side, making strips that are still attached to the dough underneath the chicken mixture.

**Fold up ends of dough up onto the chicken mixture. Then , overlap the strips over the entire length of chicken mixture for a criss-cross effect. Sprinkle with cheese. Bake at 375 degrees for 25 minutes. Let rest 5-10 minutes before cutting to serve.

Holla back if you know…

how I can get more traffic on here and get links without spending anymore money.  I have submitted my URL to google, but I don’t know if that’s enough.  I follow blogs and comment on them and I try to visit more each day, and comment on those, too.  My blog on WordPress did have a PageRank of 3 and now it’s back to 0 so who knows what happened there????  I don’t know much about it, but surprised to see it drop like that and it was like in one day???  And blog-diggidy.blogspot  has always had a 0.   I know some people don’t like a personal blog mixed with reviews but any reviews I do will be well thought out and planned and you’ll never know it’s paid for!!  lol  That’s the idea anyway.  And I won’t be doing anything for casino’s or adult material or anything like that so….

Got this in my e-mail yesterday…

One for the girls

Now I lay me down to sleep I pray the Lord
my shape to keep.

Please no wrinkles, Please no bags
And please lift my butt before it sags.

Please no age spots, Please no gray
And as for my belly, Please take it away.

Please keep me healthy, Please keep me young,
And thank you Dear Lord, For all that you’ve done.

Five tips for a woman….
1. It is important that a man helps you around the house and has a job.
2. It is important that a man makes you laugh.
3. It is important to find a man you can count on and doesn’t lie to You.
4. It is important that a man loves you and spoils you.
5. It is important these four men do not know each other!!
Foot Note:
One saggy boob said to the other saggy boob: ‘If we don’t get some support soon, people will think we’re nuts.’

Three things I would rearrange in my life…

Friday, October 17th, 2008

#1 I would live in  different house.  I LOVE my house, but we pay too much for taxes because we live in town.  Also we need more property so we can roam and be free!!

#2 I would like to be in a better place financially.  When my son was killed in an auto-accident, my husband had a hard time driving to work (we live 50 miles from where he worked).  So they fired him. He makes 1/3 of what he used to and we lost all our insurance….health and life.  I was babysitting for a while to pick up the slack but it was very stressful for me and  wasn’t making enough for it to be worth if for me or my family. 

#3 I would like to be healthier.  I have struggled with my weight for quite some time now, but I really need to get healthy!! I have lost 5 pounds recently, though, so that’s good!!

Cute Snuggable,Lovable,Huggable Puppies

Thursday, October 9th, 2008

Oh how I love babies.  Of every species.  So cute, so new, so innocent.  They remind me of all things good in this world!!!  This is one of Jasmine’s (my boxer) puppies at just a couple weeks old.  H is holding him.  Makes my heart melt!!  We have sold all but one of them.  Hopefully we will sell her soon, too .  She’s like 4 months old now.
