Mr is recovering from Christmas vacation – too much heavy food! So I opted for soup. I was planning to make Italian Wedding Soup, but didn’t have spinach, so I just winged it. The ingredients are approximate – I just added what seemed right for the soup, and served with garlic Italian bread. Winter Italian [...]
Whew, that’s a mouthful! (hahaha)
I’m not sure why I keep posting chicken recipes – you’d think we never eat anything else! I think it’s because chicken is the most versatile main dish – you can do so much with it, unlike pork or beef or chicken. Since I love chicken and mushrooms, and my family loves cheese and whatever I do with chicken and mushrooms, we’ve got this yummy recipe!

I planned to make a blueberry pie today, but a nap got in the way… Still managed to make a yummy Sunday Supper. Thanks to J for the suggestion! Parmesan Chicken with Polenta
Wow, it’s been a long time since I posted! I have a million pictures, but have been very busy with work and other activities (including: teaching Art Literacy, spearheading a Youth Group Room remodel, speaking at conferences, re-painting my kitchen, dealing with pets, dealing with tweens… Anyway, it’s been a very wet spring here – [...]
Oh, goodness. I woke up to a sore throat and pounding headache. It’s going to be 86 degrees (that’s hot here in the Williamette Valley) – being sick in the summer heat is not a recipe for angeliciousness.
Then I went into the garage to get out some chicken for supper – only to find the outside freezer defrosting. A boy didn’t close the door all the way and it sat ajar overnight. AAAGGGHHH. This has happened before, and we had to lock the freezer. We stopped locking it about a year ago (such a pain), but it looks we’ll have to start doing it again. Unlocking and re-locking the freezer helps remind them to make sure the door is shut.
Fortunately, most stuff was OK, but I wasn’t taking chances with the beef roast. Since it’s going to be hot today and I don’t want to be hovering over the stove at the peak of the afternoon heat, I decided to make a family favorite: slow cooker french dip sandwiches. I’m posting the first half right now, just in case you’re in the mood to stick something in the slow cooker.

Perfect for a hot summer day!
What are you doing for 4 July? We’re having ribs with friends, then fireworks. Happy birthday, US of A! (BTW, this is a very patriotic and internationally happy appetizer: red tomatoes, white Havarti cheese, bleu cheese olives, peppered dry salami on ciabatta bread. Has been tested for quality control by @Michael Diehl & passed with [...]

Wading through 296 emails last night, I came across this lovely dish & decided to surprise my family (& get back into the groove) with Cinnamon Roll Pancakes. I’m still in my sweet Nick & Nora PJs as I type this… ah, home. Sorry for the lack of pictures – I was a bit busy!
This week’s book review is “Creative Cooking for Colitis,” written by Angela Breidenbach (yay for Angelas!). I’m pleased to know Angela as a fellow writer and member of the American Christian Fiction Writers group, and she offered a preview of the book, available on CD or as a PDF download. First, a little bit about [...]

My BFF, Megs, and I try to make a lunch date at least once a month – we call it “lunch therapy.” Our favorite couch? P.F. Changs, where we share a bowl of spicy chicken noodle soup with brown rice, sauteed mushrooms and a nice (i.e. least expensive) bottle of white wine. Changs is awesome [...]
Birthdays are a big deal at Casa Angelicious. We usually have several celebrations: Bdays seem to almost always fall on a weekday. A school day, to boot. So birthday day is celebrated. So is “King for a Day” (the first Saturday after the birthday, where the Bday Boy gets to choose all meals, movies, activities, [...]
