Lisa's Latest Quilting Project

hey guys,

what do you think of the advent calendar I sewed for Clark?? I got the pattern from another quilt blogger named sew mamma sew. It took me about 24 hours to make.

Shopping

So I know that Bed Bath and Beyond is opening across from Cap Mall....but the rumor on the street is that Target bought out Zellers. I heard this last night at work so I still have yet to determine if this wonderful rumor is true :)

Pesto Chicken

I found this recipe at Kraft Foods

1/3 cup shredded mozza cheese
1/4 cup pesto
1/4 cup dijon mustard (I used a little less than this)
4 sm chicken breast (or I used 5 chicken thighs)

Mix 1/4 cup of cheese with pesto and mustard.

Arrange chicken in single layer. Spread pesto mixture over chicken, sprinkle with remaining cheese.

Bake at 350 for 20-25 min or until chicken is cooked.

I served this with broccoli the other night...but I would suggest adding a second side like baby potatoes or risotto :) Both the men in my house ate it all up! Happy cooking!

Bruschetta Chicken Bake,

Heidi, you need an oven for this one.

1 can (14-1/2 oz.) diced tomatoes, undrained

1 pkg. (6 oz.) STOVE TOP Stuffing Mix for Chicken

1/2 cup water

2 cloves garlic, minced

1-1/2 lb. boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-size pieces ( you don't even need to cut the chicken)

1 tsp. dried basil leaves (fresh is probably better)

1 cup KRAFT 2% Milk Shredded Mozzarella Cheese

Make It!

HEAT oven to 400ºF.

MIX tomatoes, stuffing mix, water and garlic just until stuffing mix is moistened.

LAYER chicken, basil and cheese in 3-qt. casserole or 13x9-inch baking dish. This was easy as pie, although pie isn't that easy. I took this recipe from kraft foods. L.

TOP with stuffing. Bake 30 min. or until chicken is done.
