Italian Crockpot Chicken

It was the Relief Society birthday party earlier this month and this is what they served. I missed it but I guess so many people asked for the recipe, they made a bunch of copies and passed them out at church. It's super easy and anything that can go straight from the freezer/can into the oven/crockpot is my kind of meal.

Prep Time: 5 min.
Cook Time: 4-8 hours

4 chicken breasts
1 - 8oz. package of cream cheese (softened)
2 cans cream of chicken soup
1 dry package of Italian Salad dressing

-Put Chicken in crockpot.
-Cream together other 3 ingredients and pour over chicken.
-Cook on high 4 hours or low for 6-8.
-The last 1/2 hour shred chicken or cut up into bite size pieces.
-Serve over rice, penne or mashed potatoes.

New Camera!

I finally got my Dream Camera! A Nikon D90!

There was a good deal at Costco for a Kit with 2 lenses, a bag and a memory card. This has been on my Vision Board forever and it's the first thing I have accomplished from it. I have lots to learn but I'm having fun doing it.

Here are some fave's from my first "Photo Shoots" (and I use that term loosely). I'm at the point where I just take a whole bunch of pictures (500) and hope for the best. Like I said, I have lots to learn. Photoshop is my best friend right now.

Pillows!


I got new couches and they are really dark so in order to lighten the room up, I decided I would just get new pillows. Here is the before with the old couches.

I love the gray pillows and the sofa table with the old couches (shown above), but with the new ones, it just was too dark and didn't go. We got the new couches for a good deal and these old ones are small and were getting kinda uncomfortable.

I saw these pillows from Target on a blog and fell in love but not with the price.

I looked around at the Wal-Mart, Tai Pan and TJ Maxx but a) they didn't have the right yellow or b) was over $20. Sooo, I was over at my cousin Chantelle's and she had just made these pillows for her bed and couch. I was like - Hey, those are so cute! Why don't you help me make some. We went to Joanns Fabric and bought everything we needed for oh about $12 bucks total. For 3 pillows!
Ta-Da!

To lighten it up even more, I got my piano from my parents house :) Bonus! I have even practiced 4-5 times since I got it. I def need some lessons though. Ha.
