A steal of a deal....

I recently found an old bench at garage sale...yes that's right I go to garage sales and I like to!! It's amazing what some people think is junk is anothers treasure. I have been looking for a small bench for guests to sit on to put their shoes on or take them off. I came across this little bench for a whopping $10 of course I bought it right away.


I purchased the bench knowing that I couldn't stand the cream colored cover pad....I went to the local craft store and found some  vintage looking-stylish- and yet very stong material and recovered the bench all by my self! This is what it looks like now.


The bench looks great and and is just what we needed to set beside the door.

Movie Night

Although this isn't much of a recipe I'm going to share it anyway. Harvest has finally been wrapped up for the year, living on a farm this doesn't mean for a moment that things will stand still! As the days are getting shorter so my fiance and I are getting to spend more time together in the evenings. We enjoy watching movies or series such as Walker Texas Ranger or the Dukes together. We normally have some popcorn with M&M's
or peanuts but just for fun we had ice cream. Here is a photo of the banana split I made for my honey!

In an effort to make this dish as healthy as possible I loaded the bowl with banana slices first added a little ice cream, and drizzed caramel and chocolate in the shape of a heart.

We certainly enjoyed these!

Creamed Chicken and Dumplings

Creamed Chicken and Dumplings

Chicken breasts cut into stips - sprinkled with your favorite chicken seasonings

1 can cream of celery soup
1 can cream of chicken soup

1 cup cream

2 cups milk

1 cup peas

salt and pepper to taste

1 can biscuits

Cut chicken into strips and place on the bottom of your baking dish. Mix cream of celery, cream of chicken, cream, and milk together. Pour over chicken. Layer peas on top. Sprinkle salt and pepper to your liking over the entire dish.


Bake @ 350 for 1 hour.


Remove baking dish from the oven and add the dumplings. I cut my biscuits into four equal parts and layer on top of the creamed chicken. Return to the oven to bake the biscuits about 15 minutes or as directed on the packaging.


Ta-Da you have an awesome hearty meal!
