Today I am making the crockpot Italian chicken with sun-dried tomato basil bread.

WFD at your house?

ETA: Glynis's Kitten Blueberry Muffins it is, according to my silly husband. Boy are they good!!!!!!!!!!!! We love them!!! What other kinds of fruit is it good to use? I thought about doing strawberry, but didn't know if that would work with the pie filling. I thought with the strawberries being so much bigger in the filling than blueberries that it might make the muffins gooey. Any other idea?

ETA again: Folks, my husband is working from home today so I am using the laptop. For some odd reason, it causes problems with editing the posts. So it will be later today, possibly tomorrow, before I can add yesterday's recipes. So sorry!!

Glynis/Nancy - Last night's cranberrry/polynesian chicken was a hit! They had no clue cranberry sauce was in it.

No cooking for me tonight - I'll be packing us up (bar included) for our trip to Monroe for the Sate Championship!

Thank you all for your thoughts on my wedding stuff and my little angel (Andrew).

Bengalbelle, hope you feel better.

Kathy, Have fun this weekend! We're routing for Kyle!!! WIll you be back for Mom's Day? If not, enjoy your day!

We are having pork chops of some kind. I am getting my hair done and have to go clothes shopping, which I hate since I am so unproportioned. My family has been cursed with big bottoms...saddle bags etc. Sounds sexy right???

Have a great day ladies. I think I over did the gardening and exercise yesterday...I am so achy today. At least posion ivy didn't get me...I am still scarred from last year!

Tonight I am making the Zuni style roast chicken I posted the recipe for a while back. Instead of serving it with the bread-arugula salad I am sauteeing some fiddleheads and asparagus. I have to figure out some kind of starch to go with.

I'm so glad you liked the muffins!!!!! I was biting my nails all day yesterday waiting to find out if my family was wierd, or if they really were good.

I'm thinking about trying cherry pie filling with frozen cherries. Peach could be good, too. You could cut the peaches into smaller pieces. I think the strawberries could be good, as long as you dice them well. Maybe cut down the pie filling amount. So many flavors, so little time!

I guess the trout was a hit last night. I just couldn't bring myself to try it. Oh well. I had leftovers. The only downside was that one of my twins choked on a tiny fishbone, and DH had to make her throw up to dislodge it. Now, THAT really makes me want to try the trout. NOT!!!!!

Dinner tonight will be Cowboy Chili. It's a new recipe from a magazine called Home Cooking. It seems simple enough. I'll try it, and if it is approved by my family, I'll post the recipe!

Basically its cream of this and cream of that ... some shrimp, minute rice, and the onion mix that is pre chopped. Slap it together and bake lol. SUper easy.. im prob missing a couple of things and I cant remember exactly what soups to use.. chicken and mushroom but im not sure. I of course always add hot sauce.
Have a great weekend!!
