MJ that sounds just like something I would eat. Yummy! I'm gonna have to try it. Thank you.

Supper was awesome. Salsa Chicken.
recipe:

1 serving chicken (breast, etc.) for each person
1 package chicken taco seasoning
1 cup salsa (hot or mild, your choice)
1 can cream of mushroom soup

Place all in crockpot, cook for 6 hours on low.
Add up to 1 cup sour cream.

Serve over rice with green veggie.

Great supper! And easy!
so glad to see you are getting your groooooove on. :)

That sounds really good, but very high in calories. Do you think it would still taste as good without the sourcream?

I've been feeling bummed because of my weight gain from those darn steroids. Well I stepped on the scale tonight and I have a 3lb. loss. That means I lost 3 of the 9 I put on. YAY! Hopefully this will continue.

It'll go down. The biggest problem I found with steriods is they make you hungry.

MJ I am so glad that you are feeling better. Guess what? It looks like my DH will have April 27th off so I can go to Paducah by myself and hang out with you and your hubby all day. :-)

I think I'm finally getting past that need to eat all the time.

The extra calories are why I added the words "up to 1 cup of sour cream".
I don't think it even needs the sour cream, but my dh loves it. He doesn't gain weight at all. You could definitely get by with just a small fat free dollop on top of the chicken.

Carrie,
I am still set to "go". We will know more as we get closer to the date, plus, I still have to get "doctor approval" to travel that far.

Still working on the final borders of the baby quilt. Went to bed and woke up thinking about it.

IF I get off the computer tonight, I will try to finish it.

Going to Memphis tomorrow, my Mama will be 83 on Friday. Since DH works weekends (incl Fri) we will celebrate tomorrow. I'm taking her 5 yards of a burgandy floral (her fav color), 9 yards of a mauve blender (for front and back), 2 yards of a green vine, and a WoW for accent. (4 yards) Plus a queen size batt.

The blessing is I taught her to quilt 3 years ago for therapy for her broken wrist, now she and I have wonderful days together planning and sewing.
