Are you ready to get started?

This is my first post on cooking with the Pioneer Woman.  I really need to get to the grocery store to stock up on a few things so the recipe I am making first is ......
Chicken Spaghetti makes 6 to 8 servings.  Now I have made my version of this for a few years, my mom has a version using velveta cheese instead of shredded cheese and you don't bake it in the oven. So lets see which version is better. 

First make sure you have all the ingredients:
Chicken
spaghetti
pimientos
onion
green pepper
cream of mushroom soup
cheddar cheese
season salt
pepper
cayenne pepper

I will start off with a picture of the pages.

I started with getting the chicken cooked and cutting my veggies.

Then after the chicken boiled I kept the chicken stock and cooked the noodles in it. Then cut up the chicken.

Once you have all the stuff ready you mix it all up.

Put it in a casserole dish and cover the top with a little cheese and bake for 30 min or so.

And the finished results is this!!!

It was very good, much easier to make than my other Chicken Spaghetti.

Well, we will see how this goes!

My Aunt Debra told me about this blogg she loved to read http://thepioneerwoman.com/ . She used to have blogg, but now it is website.  I looked at it a few times, but not one I read everyday till about 5 or 6 months ago.  She has a cookbook now that has so many stories and great pictures.  I like that she cooks real food, not the recipes that have 200 ingredients and 6 hours to make.

I plan to cook thru her cookbook at least in a year, maybe shorter, the cookbook is not that big. I will be blogging about it everyday. I do need a few things that I don't have like a dutchoven, and a bigger cast iron skillet. I am sure there will be a few things she used that I don't care for like clam sauce or wine, wine to me is so gross. I will at least try everything once.  If you know anyone that like to cook like me this is the perfect gift. Make sure though, I was going to buy it for someones birthday and found out it is not their idea of a good gift. lol.

The first recipe is BBQ Jalapeno Poppers it calls for 6 ingredients. YES!

Wish me luck. Also, I will be doing a givaway of her cookbook soon, so stay tuned!!! Happy Blogging Everyone!!!

Something I always wanted!

This has been a very busy few weeks. I had a wonderful Christmas. I was blessed to recieve a great gift the day before my birthday this year, with all the baking and cooking I like to do, I have put this item to good use. What is you say? A Kitchen Aid mixer!!!!!!!!!!!! I am in love!

Thank You Bakerella!!!!!!!!!

I just love this blog. She is very talented. . I had to try this recipe. here are the results. I never eat anything sweet that I make, but let me tell you I did this time. I have been watching very close to what I eat and have not had a Soft drink in over a month, so I deserved to taste this.

Cranberries all around

My husband made for Thanksgiving homemade cranberry sauce.

And I made homemade Cranberry bannana bread with and without pecans for my goody bags for the Party and friends.

I think that I am Pineapple Upside Down done!

My friend Jodi made the most delish PUDC. I usualy hate anything pineapple, it is to sweet for me, but I watched her make it and had a small piece it was so good. Of course my wheels turn wondering how to turn it into my own, and here it is. I had a good day. I got my first Birthday gift today and a new pan!!!!
