Christmas Challenge!

We all get a lot of pleasure in saving time and money.  This Holiday season you can also get a lot of pleasure out of giving that time and money you have saved.  Now there are only 14 days left until Christmas and I am challenging everyone to give a little of what you have save whether it is time or money back to your local community.  A lot of families are struggling this year due to various reasons across our country.  If you have saved some time in your life, then take your family and volunteer to help at your local food bank or soup kitchen.  If you have saved money using coupons this week, take the money and donate it to one of your local charities who is helping families during the holidays.  Whether you saved $.50 or $100.00, it all can make a difference for someone. 

This Holiday season show your family the pleasures of giving a little of what you saved.  It not only will make a difference for the family you help, but will make a difference for your family.

GIVING A LITTLE MAKES A BIG DIFFERENCE!

I would love to hear your comments if your family takes on this challenge or you are going to share it with your followers.  Please share this challenge with your family, friends and followers and get them involved in giving.

Happy Holidays,

Katie

Make Ahead Monday Dinner Review!

Tonight we had Chicken Bacon & Swiss Melts.  My family had different views of this meal.  My husband gave this dinner an 8 out of 10, I gave it a 5 and the kids gave it 1.  If I make this again, I would definitely prepare it a little different.  The chicken was very moist, however I felt cooking it on low for 8 hours was to long.  The stuffing was over cooked and really not edible.   Next time I would put the stuffing on top with a little more liquid.

If you have a recipe you would like us to try, let me know. We would love to try it!

HOW WE RATE THE DINNER FROM 1 - 10.

1 - PLEASE DON'T MAKE THAT AGAIN!
5 - IT WAS OKAY WE CAN TRY IT AGAIN!
10 - THAT WAS AWESOME CAN WE HAVE THAT AGAIN!

Make Ahead Monday Recipe

I will be making Chicken Bacon & Swiss Melts in my crockpot this Monday.  After dinner my family will give a review of how they liked or disliked it.  Below is the recipe.   If you would like to make the same Make Ahead Monday meal, you can also write your families review of it in the comment section of my post.  Come and join the fun!  My family likes being involved in the review process.

Chicken Bacon & Swiss Melts

1 box stuffing mix
4 tablespoons water
6 boneless skinless chicken breast (frozen)
12 slices raw bacon
1 can condensed cream of chicken soup
6 slices Swiss Cheese

Spray crockpot with cooking spray.  Place the stuffing mix on the bottom, add flavor packet.  Sprinkle with water.  Wrap each frozen breast with 2 slices of bacon.  Place on top of the stuffing mix.  Pour can of soup over top of chicken.  Cook on LOW for 7-10 hours or on HIGH for 5-7 hours.

Place cheese slices on top to melt 15 minutes before serving.

Happy Cooking,

Katie
