Crockpot Chicken




This is like the easiest recipe ever.....

Crockpot Chicken 
6 Boneless, skinless, chicken breasts.  (I trim all the fat and yucky stuff off).
1 pkg. dry Italian dressing mix
1/2 cup water

1 (8-oz) Cream Cheese
1 can Cream of Chicken Soup

Put chicken breasts, Italian dressing mix, and water in crock-pot and cook all day on low.  Take chicken out and cut into small pieces.  Add cream cheese and soup to Crockpot and stir.  Put chicken back into Crockpot and heat through.
Serve over cooked egg noodles or rice.

**I use light cream cheese and don't use all of the drippings left in the Crockpot.  This makes it not quite as rich and a little less fastening**

Chocolate Chip Cookies





This recipe is from my sister Brenda.  She makes the best chocolate chip cookies ever! 

Chocolate Chip Cookies 
1 Square Blue Bonnet Margarine 
1/4 Cup Crisco (4 Tbls. cut off the square bars of Crisco) 
1 Cup Brown Sugar 
3/4 Cup White Sugar 
- Cream the above ingredients together well. 
2 Eggs (use medium ones, or at least the smaller ones in the box of large eggs)
- Add to above mixture and mix well
Add: 
1 Teaspoon Baking Soda 
1/2 Teaspoon Salt 
2 and 1/2 Cups Flour 
1 Bag, Hershey's Milk Chocolate Chips

Mix well, drop in spoonfuls on cookie sheet. 

Bake at 350 degrees.
Brenda bakes her's for 9 minutes, I usually bake mine for 11 minutes.  All ovens vary in heat, so just watch them closely while you figure out your oven.  They should be just barely starting to go a little browned, but not too much.  They will form as they cool. 
The best is when they are slightly crunchy on the outside and really soft in the middle. 

Yum!
