Recipe: Chicken Breast Supreme

I took this recipe from a fellow blogger- Kelly's Korner (Harper's mom)
I tried it last night using turkey bacon and low fat ingrediants- it was SO good!!


Ingredients:

4 chicken breasts

4-8 strips of bacon

16 oz sour cream

1 can of cream of mushroom soup

1 can of sliced mushrooms1 jar of dried beef (this is found near tuna or spam)

Wrap the chicken in bacon and put in a greased pan

Mix up all the other ingredients. Tear up the dried beef into small pieces (this is what gives the meal the real flavor)

Pour mixture over chicken and bake at 350 for 1 and 1/2 hours

Serve with brown rice and pour extra mixture over the rice- I also served this with grilled green beans and feta. It was YUMMO!!!!

Much love! Adair

I'm here...Finally!

Hello my lovely ladies! I miss you all and pray for each and every one of you! Nicci - I def have to think about my bucket list but will post it soon! I have some news and I know each one of you will support me on my decison. I am moving home to FL and working for the TPA base of Air-Tran Airways. Bryan and I have been doing a lot of talking and watching shows about traveling to Europe. We both hope to travel there in a few years and the only way I'll be able to is if I get out of debt and start saving. I feel if I moving home and live with the 'rents I can save $900 a month. I will still be able to travel for free and see you all and Bryan. Adair - I know this puts us farther apart but SouthWest flies out of TPA and should be able to get to Bham. I thought about moving to Memphis but that just doesn't help me save/pay off Credit Cards.

Anyway, I'm doing good other than that lil bit of news. Bryan and I are finally starting to really understand each other and move forward in our relationship. We went to church with his family last week and decided to keep it up as much as can. Please pray for him, he's trying to get into grad school at Harvard, Yale, Columbia or Chicago. He wont know anything until Feb 18 at the earliest. I know he will get into one but I know the waiting is killing him.

My father is having surgury on the 3rd of Feb to remove his prostate cancer so please pray for him on that day.

Ok, enough about me.....I wanna know what's going on with everyone else. I would love to get to Memphis so let's start planning something. Love you all and bye for now....

~Min-Min~

Oh and Adair, I will post the pics from my visit soon. Today is the first day I've had to just chill!

A Challenge


I have a challenge! I want us each to create a Bucket List! Anything and everything you want to do before you kick the bucket. I have not seen the movie but I think this will be fun! Don't worry about order- just for the next several days, brainstorm things that you want to do before it's too late and compile a list! Then, put it on here so we can all see!

The Daily Grind

Hello my sweet friends! Oh how I miss you! It has been way too long since we had a get together! Can we plan one soon!?!? I am in dire need! 

Life has been extremely busy for me right now and so if you have called and I have not called you back, don't take it personal please. Please!!!!

Michelle moved out this weekend which was very emotional for both of us! I am not sure yet what the status of my house is ... but she went ahead and got an apartment.  Her apartment is precious but I don't like staying/living alone! You all know I love to be surrounded by people I love so spending my evenings alone is a different pace for me!

Luckily, I start school tomorrow and I will have class 2 night a week! I am so overwhelmed with getting everything together to begin grad school! I start tomorrow! Please say a prayer! 

Other than that, there is not a whole lot going on! I have been reading about Harper Brown Stamps and it is such a precious story! Her mother, Kelly, is someone I have never met but wow, do I admire her. I went back and read her blogs from years past and her wisdom and faithfulness is so admirable. She posted a blog about waiting for Mr. Right and it was absolutely incredible! It really gave me hope for what I am waiting on! We shall see. Please continue lifting their family up in prayer! They need us! 

Love you all! I will attach a few random pictures soon! Just for fun! -NooNoo
