1 lb. boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cooked & chopped
1 box Ritz crackers (2 sleeves of crackers)
1 stick butter
1 small can Campbell's Cream of Chicken soup
1 small can Campbell's Cream of Mushroom soup
8 oz. cream cheese, softened
1 tsp. poppy seeds (optional)
Crumble Ritz crackers into a bowl. Melt butter, and toss with the crackers. Set aside 1 c. buttered crackers. Press the rest into the bottom of a casserole dish. Use a hand mixer to combine soups and cream cheese. Stir in the chicken and poppy seeds. Pour over the crackers in the casserole dish. Top with remaining buttered crackers, and bake at 350 degree oven for 1 hour.
We usually have this with broccoli and rolls. Quick, easy, cheap meal!
Since this is a simple recipe, it's better if you use real butter, and avoid the store brand soups.
I tried this recipe last night and my husband and son both loved it. Thanks!!!
1 c sugar
1 c corn syrup
1 T butter
1 t vanilla
1 t baking soda
Enough popped popcorn to fill 2 9x13 pans
Boil syrup. Add sugar. Boil. Remove from heat. Add baking soda and butter. Stir until foaming well. Add vanilla. Pour over popcorn and stir in. Form into balls. I use a roasting pan to make these rather than the 9 x 13 pans.

Melt stolen butter in a stolen saucepan, on a stolen stove. Add stolen marshmallows.
Stir with a stolen spoon until mixture becomes difficult to stir any more. Mix in the stolen Rice Crispy Cereal and stir until hot.
Butter a stolen pan (a square pan like a brownie pan) and spread mixture evenly in the stolen pan. Allow to cool and cut into squares (using a stolen knife, of course).

We live in a VERY small town and my ex MIL was well known for her cooking. So my thing was, "Why try?" Nothing is ever going to measure up.
As it is now, my FIL was a nutritionist in the navy, and does all the cooking at their house. My hubby cooks much better than I do, just knowing cooking temperatures, seasonings, etc. -- but he will eat anything I cook for him. If he doesn't like something, he might ask me to not fix it again, but he eats it and is very gracious about it and tells me thank you for cooking for him. That in itself took time to adjust to because I definitely wasn't used to being thanked for cooking!
I have come a long way in the kitchen in the last few years (Sherri can vouch for that!), but I'll never be a Paula Dean or Rachel Ray- and I have no desire to!
Talking about ex’s and cooking…. I can honestly say I was so thankful my ex husband loved my cooking. I think I lived to hear him praise me at dinner time. lol (verbal affirmation is my love language) Starting at about 3p.m. I started in for dinner plans each evening. His mother was a country cook from Texas, and I will never forget the day he said I cooked better than his mother..in front of his mom. she reluctantly agreed. Dinner time was a very special time around our house.
For close to two years after the divorce, I rarely cooked… I couldn’t deal with being in the kitchen that we had completed shortly before the divorce. I helped hang those cabinets and between that and my always cooking for him, it was just very hard. Still to this day, I only cook once a week...I just cook several meals at one time. I try to keep in mind that my girls love my cooking too….but it just isn’t the same and not worth the time and money. Once a month or so I will pull out all stops and cook a big meal and invite family and friends over. Most of the time, I buy a lot of quick stuff for the girls to fix on their own before I ever get home from work.
I was looking through this thread to check out recipes for those rare times I do cook now. I think the girls would like the tater tot recipe… I will have to try it sometime soon.
I make my own breads, usually either a plain white (With Flaxseed for extra Fiber) or a 5-Grain (Corn meal, Oats, Whole Wheat, Rye & Flax)..
Anyway, now that it's just me, I end up with extra bread that spoils before I can eat it (the one downside of no preservatives!). I would freeze it for use later, but it just never tastes the same (Unlike store bought bread which doesn't seem any different).
I was thinking, that I could saving those 3 or 4 extra slices per loaf, freeze them, and when I have enough saved up, make some homemade stuffing.
The problem is that I have no idea how to do that. It was only since I moved to Georgia that I realized that there are more than 2 types of stuffing (Stove Top and Pepperidge Farm )
Any Suggestions?

you could toast it and make croutons for freezing - for later use in stuffing...
or toast and grate/crumble for breadcrumbs
but if you wanted stuffing, just add onions, celery, sage, chopped, boiled eggs and chicken stock - all to your liking....
