For you foodies out there! CHICKEN SPAGHETTI

I cooked this last night and everyone loved it so i thought i would share it! Let me know if you make it and what you think!

Also remember before you drain your noodles to take out the reserve you need for the casserole before dumping all the water out!  

Ingredients

  • 2 cups Cooked Chicken
  • 3 cups Dry Spaghetti, Broken Into Two Inch Pieces
  • 2 cans Cream Of Mushroom Soup
  • 2 cups Grated Sharp Cheddar Cheese
  • ¼ cups Finely Diced Green Pepper
  • ¼ cups Finely Diced Onion
  • 1 jar (4 Ounce) Diced Pimentos, Drained
  • 2 cups Reserved Chicken Broth From Pot
  • 1 teaspoon Lawry's Seasoned Salt
  • ⅛ teaspoons (to 1/4 Teaspoon) Cayenne Pepper
  • Salt And Pepper, to taste
  • 1 cup Additional Grated Sharp Cheddar Cheese

Preparation Instructions

Cook 1 cut up fryer and pick out the meat to make two cups. Cook spaghetti in same chicken broth until al dente. Do not overcook. When spaghetti is cooked, combine with remaining ingredients except additional 1 cup sharp cheddar.
Place mixture in casserole pan and top with remaining sharp cheddar. Cover and freeze up to six months, cover and refrigerate up to two days, or bake immediately: 350 degrees for 45 minutes until bubbly. (If the cheese on top starts to get too cooked, cover with foil).

Where have all the good people gone...........

I am a strong believer in paying it forward and random acts of kindness. So this morning after 1-1/2 hours of sleep i get in my van to catch my 5:17am train. My van is on empty so i am praying to make it to the gas station before i run out. I get to the gas station run my card it says see cashier. I go inside then the clerk  runs it again and says its declined. I am so confused i know we have money. I say can i just write a check he says no we don't take checks. Are you kidding me? So i walk back to my van freaking out i need to get my train. I definitely don't have enough gas to get to train station. I ponder on what to do so finally i get out and explain to a man what has happened and if he could help me. He looked at me and said NO. Okay thanks i am already humiliated by even doing this. So i have no other choice to try again everyone can't be heartless. I am thinking in my head i have helped people in this same situation and never thought twice about it. So here i go ask again NO sorry. UGH okay now here comes the tears. How can people be so heartless. I was telling them i would write them a check even. So i see a girl i ask her NOPE! I am now balling. I can't believe i am out here doing this and NO ONE will help me men or woman. Are you serious!  After the 5th person i was done! I called my dad and explained what happen and he came and helped me. I was seriously in shock i couldn't believe no one would help me. I was in my uniform shirt from work. i had a check book with my id i wasn't drunk LOL and no one would help me. What has this world come to? I was disgusted! I hope my kids never need help and if someone else does need help i hope they use caution and also their heart! I mean 5 bucks isn't much but it may have gotten me to the train on time. Yes i missed my train. So that was the start to my Friday i hope my weekend gets better. I hope i play on each and everyone of those peoples minds today and it bothers them that they were so heartless! Hope no one ever ends up in that situation. Have a great weekend everyone!

hmmm

Truth is, I get jealous easily because what's mine is mine. I'm stubborn
as hell, I say sorry too much. I act like I don't give a fuck because I
care too much. I over analyze the smallest of things and
probably come off as a bitch to simply guard myself.

falling into place!

Things are slowing falling into place. I have to from this point on just go with the flow of things. I have three beautiful children to worry about and take care of. I can no longer sweat the small stuff. My beautiful niece Erin's boyfriend Dom just left for Iraq and I will be strong and there for her and my beautiful goddaughter Kaliya. I made a promise to Dom to take care of them and i will not let him down. There is obviously bigger things going on then stupid drama out there. Erin will not see her boyfriend and Kaliya not her daddy for a year while he is off fighting for his/our country. That is more special then any stupid crap! My sister and I are getting closer and i like it. I am who i am and i am sorry if that is a problem. My Cousin Angel says you can't please everyone all of the time. Be who you are and do for yours. I will continue to be me because i think most people like who i am and who i have become. I can't change the way i am. I am a very affection person and my family and friends are very close. We greet each other with a hug and a kiss and exit the same way. That is how i was raised and will raise my children to have the same respect for people. I like to be me but not everyone likes me or the way i am. That's okay and i am okay with that. I have to be! I will just continue to be me for those who love me like i am. I have reunited with some grammer school friends and i love it. I have lost some friends along the way or just get so busy in everyday life that you lose touch. I have had some friends forever since grammer school and wouldn't change it for the world. I love my friends and love to be there for them if they need me. Life is what it is and I will continue to roll with the punches! Hope everyone is have a great day! Love ya
