Italian Cream Cheese Chicken 4 chicken breasts 1 envelope Italian dressing mix (dry) 1/4 cup water Put chicken, Italian dressing mix, and water in crock pot on high. Cook for 3 hours (good Sunday dish!) After 3 hours - in saucepan, warm through... 1 - 8oz block of cream cheese (reduced fat) 1 can of cream of chicken soup (reduced fat) 1 - 4oz (drained) can mushrooms (if desired) Combine with cooked chicken in crock pot. Serve over rice or pasta. There are a number of variations of this recipe, I used mushroom soup instead of cream of chicken because that is what I had. I did add the mushrooms because I like them. You could also add some chopped red and/or green bell peppers to add some color. The cream cheese makes it so yummy. It is so easy to make and so nice to come home from church with the house smelling like dinner is ready.

This is, quite possibly, Jason's favorite breakfast. He can eat a whole pan by himself, and that's saying something because he's not a big eater. This is the recipe I use, and so far it has been my favorite. German Pancakes: Ingredients: 6 eggs 1/4 tsp. salt (you can do more or less depending on your taste) 2/3 cup milk 2/3 cup flour 6 Tbs. butter (about 2/3 of a cube of butter) Syrup and/or Honey Directions: Put butter in a baking dish (for this amount of batter, I like to use an 8x11 size dish). Preheat oven to 475 degrees, and put the butter right in (don't wait for it to heat up to 450 before you do this). Check on the butter every few minutes to make sure it doesn't start burning. In a blender, crack the 6 eggs, and add the flour, milk, and salt; mix well. Pull the butter out of the oven and pour the batter into the dish, then place back in the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes or until puffy and browned well. We like our syrup hot, so we heat that up and ...

We've had this before a few times and it is AMAZING, so I don't know we haven't eaten it more, but we just made it again the other night, and it was even better than I remember.

This is a Paula Dean recipe with a few additives (more parmesan, and the cream cheese is not in her recipe). I wouldn't mind mixing in a bit of the pepper jack cheese either. This is a real crowd pleaser at parties, and really easy to make. And of course, it's DELICIOUS! 1 (10-ounce) package frozen chopped spinach 2 (13 3/4-ounce) cans artichoke hearts 1/2 cup mayonnaise 1/2 cup sour cream 1 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan 1 cup grated pepper jack cheese 3 Tbs. cream cheese Directions Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a casserole dish with nonstick spray. Heat the spinach in a microwave oven on high for 5 minutes and squeeze dry. Drain the artichoke hearts and coarsely chop in a food processor (or with a knife). Combine all the ingredients except the jack cheese in a large bowl. Stir well. Scrape into the prepared casserole dish and sprinkle the jack cheese on top. Bake for 30 minutes. Serve with bagel chips or tortilla chips.
