{Spinach & Chicken stuffed shells}



This recipe was absolutely delicious. This one was bookmarked for sure. I found this recipe over at Sisters Cafe. They have some amazing stuff. Check them out! 

(This recipe makes a lot so I halved it)



Chicken and Spinach Stuffed Shells

44 uncooked jumbo pasta shells (That’s about one and one-half 12-oz boxes)

2 c chopped cooked chicken
2 c fresh chopped spinach

1 onion, chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 (15oz) container ricotta cheese

2 (8oz) packages cream cheese, softened

1 (5oz) package shredded Parmesan cheese (about 1 2/3 c.)

1 large egg, lightly beaten

1 Tb dried parsley flakes

1 tsp Italian seasoning

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 tsp pepper

2 c shredded mozzarella cheese, divided

1 (26oz) jar prepared spaghetti sauce (any variety)


Cook shells according to package directions (be sure to stir every once in awhile so they don't stick to the bottom of the pan and tear apart); drain and set aside.
Preheat oven to 350°. Lightly grease 2 13x9x2inch baking dishes.
In a large bowl, combine chicken and all the rest of the ingredients except mozzarella and spaghetti sauce. Stir in 1 cup mozzarella. Spoon into shells. Spread half of spaghetti sauce into prepared baking dishes. Arrange shells over sauce; top with remaining sauce. Cover tightly with heavy-duty aluminum foil. Bake, covered, for 40 minutes. Uncover, sprinkle with remaining 1 cup mozzarella. Bake for 5 to 10 more minutes.
Makes 8-10 servings.




Let it be known that I simply don't take pretty pictures.

That's all.

Good night!

Paper Roses!

I know, I know. I'm sure you've seen these all over blog land! I saw this idea awhile ago but just recently got around to making a few. I don't know why it took me so long. They're so easy to make and it took like 3 minutes! My kind of craft ;) If you want to learn how, you can go HERE! Although she used scrapbook paper, I wanted to try something different and used some magazine pages that had bright colors on them. I've seen so many different versions and ways to make paper roses... I'll get around to those another day :) Now go make some roses!
