Turkey Pot Pie and Chicken Spaghetti

Cooking for today involves using some left over turkey to make our favorite Turkey Pot Pie for dinner tomorrow and a new recipe Chicken Spaghetti for tonight's dinner.

Typically when we try a new recipe, we use it as is.  This time, I did add more noodles which seemed to be ok.  Going forward, I would probably add 2 cans of Ro-Tel.  Here's the Chicken Spaghetti recipe for your viewing pleasure.

Our Turkey Pot Pie modifications include:
Remove celery.
Reduce turkey to 3 cups.
Add 2 cups frozen, shredded potatoes
Below is the original...... cook time is not altered with the above changes.

Brown Sugar Chicken and Marshmallow Brownies

I refer to Sundays and "new recipe Sundays". Because I am glued to the tv after noon during football season, I like to cook at least one meal before noon. Typically, I'll cook at least two for the upcoming week to reduce that "what's for dinner" madness when I walk in the door.  Since my husband works nights on a rotating schedule, it also helps him have something more than sandwiches all the time.
Sadly, I have no pictures of the chicken as it was devoured too quickly.  Here's the link for the recipe.....  http://www.food.com/recipe/easy-garlic-chicken-5478  Below are pictures of the brownies. In an effort to get my daughter off of all electronic devices for a short time, I asked her what we should bake. She loves brownies but I wanted to jazz them up a bit so here's our recipe.

Marshmallow Brownies
1 box Betty Crocker Milk Chocolate Brownie mix
2 eggs
3 tbsp water
1/2 cup oil
1/2 cup miniture marshmallows
6 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips
Mix together all ingredients, lightly spray 13x9 pan and bake at 350 degrees for 24-26 minutes. 


Back again.....

I'm going to transition my blog from one of our family's journey to that of idea sharing and saving for future reference and the good of all man kind.  lol...... I am rarely serious and often sarcastic.... hmm... maybe this should be in my description......  I'll have to update that next.....

I'm looking forward to blogging some of my tips for Girl Scout trips as well as meetings in addition to recipe favorites, travel, give-a-ways, coupons and banking.  Happy reading.  I hope there'll be something of use for all.
