Back in Action with Ritzy Chicken!

Hey y'all! It's good to be back after another vacation from blogging. Between house sitting and the fourth of July, things have been crazy but I'm happy to be back, sounding off again. I recently found a blogger that I love to keep up with, and she has really inspired me to be better at this. i'm sure she gets paid, and she's a house wife, so she is better at making time to do this sort of thing. I want to be better at it, but at this moment, I'm not. So bear with me. When I'm training to be a doula, living with my Air Force man somewhere far, far, away and this is my way of keeping up with family and friends, I will commit to a schedule but I'm much too young and free spirited to be tied down to such a thing right now.


So here's one of my regular "catch up" posts...

The pups, at their favorite spot in the house. They perch here when they think trouble's a'brewin' outside, or when one of us leaves. And some fun dialogue we imagine the two of them having...

The weekend Brian left for Basic Training was admittedly an emotional one. We went on one final date night the Friday before he left to El Sombrero, one of our favorites! This is my handsome man, and this is his super girly dessert! Hehe!

And this is my chapstick/lip gloss/lip stick collection. 

...Yes, I'm addicted, but they all serve varying purposes.

{stay tuned for a "what's in my bag" post in the coming months!}

And we went for pedicures! 

One of my favorite games to play, only with people I know, is Draw Something. I've been playing this for months now, and while I know some of you may be over this game, I still really love it. Here's a drawing of my mother, in a game of Draw Something with my sister. 

Around the office, we have been taking pictures of and sharing our summer reads on our Pinterest page. My summer reading, which is coming along, slowly but surely, is "A Place of Yes" by Bethenny Frankel. I just adore her and the book is so positive and is really helping me day to day. 

My wonderful "sister-in-law", shown below with her dog Duchess, had her baby this week! Warren Alexander "Wren" Williamson weighed in at 9lbs, 13oz, and 23 inches! Big ole boy! I am going to meet him this weekend, so look forward to lots of gushing when I get back. 

When I returned from Sylvania, my dear friends brought me flowers to let me know they were thinking of me. I'm really lucky to have them, especially at this time. 

So, now for the recipe! 

Ritzy Chicken

8 oz. cream cheese

1/2 C. sour cream

1 (10 3/4 oz.) can cream of mushroom soup

1 (10 3/4 oz.) can cream of chicken soup

6 C. diced cooked chicken breasts

1 roll Ritz crackers (50 crackers)

Soften the cream cheese.  

Put chicken into a 9 x 13-inch ovenproof baking dish.

Mix cream cheese, sour cream, cream of mushroom soup, and cream of chicken soup.

Pour over chicken. 

Crush crackers to make topping (you can combine with butter but I didn't)

Sprinkle over chicken & mixture.

Bake uncovered at 350 degrees for 20 minutes.

No after photo...it was too delicious!
