A Recipe for Chicken and Cheese Rotini

Chicken and Cheese Rotini an easy nutritious meal for feeding the large family, although the recipe can be cut in half to feed the smaller family, or you can use this recipe and have left overs and even lunches the next day. So easy and quick using basically four ingredients five if ya include the olive oil, six the salt!! LOL!

The ingredients are as followed:
2lbs of boneless skinless chicken breast
Barilla Whole Grain Rotini
Kraft Philadelphia Cooking Creme Italian Cheese and Herb
Live Smart California Blend Vegetable mix from Schwans (you can use any mixed vegetable blend)

Fill your large pot half with water and a few sprinkles of salt allow to boil and then turn down the heat to medium pour in the entire box of Barilla Rotini Noodles

Mean while cut the boneless skinless chicken into bite sized pieces

Spray your large skillet with olive oil (I pump my own with the sprayer from Bed Bath and Beyond)
turning on the burner on medium high heat

cook chicken on medium high heat until white

Now that the water is boiling in go the noodles cooking until desired tenderness (my family likes theirs firm not mushy) approx. 7-9 minutes

You can cover the chicken if you like and may add a 1/4 cup of water if sticking

continue cooking until done see next pic

here the chicken is done

add mixed vegetables, I add my Live Smart Schwans vegetables at this time the whole bag

the noodles are cooked now drain in your sink allow to sit until vegetables are cooked

Here the vegetables are cooked and ready to add noodles

Now add the noodles
Now add the Philadelphia Italian Cream Cheese and Herb containers both of them.

ENJOY!!!! Dusty sure did!!

Yarn Pom Pom using the Clover Pom Pom Maker click HERE
I had decided I wanted to have a Christmas tree next year that is black and white so in order to make the ornaments I have to start now......LOL!! Yeah or it will never happen.......I had bought a cheapo tree from Roses and was hoping to get it done before the holidays but yeah you know what happened....it didn't get done. So now I am gonna start making ornaments all year.


Here are the supplies, these are so flipping simple that you can make them while watching TV riding in the car, etc. I even put them on my packages this year.

The Pom Pom Maker from Clover USA they come in many sizes and are a great price.

Open the sides of the maker

start wrapping the yarn around

Wrap the yarn around both sides

Here the yarn is around both sides

Now start cutting

Cut both sides keeping closed while cutting

When both sides are cut wrap a piece of yarn around the tie with making a knot and save yourself some yarn for hanging

Now open both sides

Pull apart and trim any extra long pieces and you now have this simple ornament
