The old Gary Cooper movie, Sgt. York, is a family favorite with our entire team. In one scene Ma asks the blessing and says, "Lord bless these vittles we done got...". Hence, the name of our recipe collection.

Creamy Mac-N-Cheese

From Laura at Heavenly Homemakers
Creamy Mac N Cheese

2 1/2 cups whole wheat pasta
3 cups whole milk
1/2 t. sea salt
1 cup shredded cheese (I use white cheddar)

Mix pasta, milk and salt in a large sauce pan. Cook over medium-high heat STIRRING ALMOST CONSTANTLY until the pasta is tender (10-15 minutes). Remove from heat. Add cheese and stir until melted. Serve immediately.

This is really yummy!  It makes an awesome creamy, cheesy sauce.  I usually use a bit more salt and this is so good with Colby Jack cheese.  Delcious!  We have this often for lunch and sometimes even when Mrs. Munoz comes over.  This with Ranch Dip and carrot and celery sticks makes an wonderful lunch!  Three cheers for Mac n Cheese!  Hip hip horah!

Love Always,
Mommy

Lemon Chicken

Greek Chicken
From the Cooking Kingdom Style cookbook
Renee Berzins

6 frozen chicken breasts
2 C. olive oil
3/4 C. lemon juice
3 T. oregano
1 TB + 2 tsp garlic salt
pepper to taste

Place chicken in a 9x13 dish.  Cover with olive oil and lemon juice.  Season with oregano, garlic salt, and pepper.  Cover tightly and bake at 250 degrees for 4-6 hours.  Serve over rice using the juices in the pan to flavor the rice.

We tried this tonight for the first time and it is a winner!  Yum!  We all thought this was so good.  I am sure this is going to become a staple around here.  The original recipe calls for chicken breast halves with the bone in and cook it for 10-12 hours.  I modified it to use the boneless chicken breasts instead.  I am so glad we found a yummy chicken recipe.  We needed a new one!  Hannah says, "It's really good!"  Daniel says, "It's the most tastiest and easy to cut."  :)

Love Always,
Mommy
