Chicken, Potatoes, Green Beans -- All In

Super easy dish for these cold nights!

Chicken, Potatoes, Green Beans -- All In

4-6 boneless chicken breasts
small potatoes (if not really small, then cut them in half or quarter)
green beans (canned or fresh)
1 pkg. Italian dressing mix
1 stick butter, melted

In a large baking dish arrange the chicken, potatoes & green beans (if using canned then drain first).  Sprinkle the packet of Italian dressing mix over all.  Pour the melted  butter over all, too.  Cover with aluminum foil and bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour.

I first saw this recipe on Pinterest and it went to this original site - Cooking Wit Crystal.


Here's the ingredients -

All in the baking dish -

Italian dressing sprinkled over -

Melted butter, too -

All cooked and ready to eat --

Lucy looks like she is really hanging on to the computer chair.  That is most likely where you'll find her sleeping at night.

Christmas Ornaments for All Holidays

Now is the time to start looking for the round colored ornaments and you can use them for all the holidays.  Make a list of what colors you need and look at any store that might carry them.  Here are some examples of other holidays to use them.

4th of July -

Valentine's Day -

St. Patrick's Day -

Right now for Halloween - I was so excited when I found these orange ones -

Of course, for Christmas - these white ones look like balls of snow -

The possibilities and colors are endless - you just have to start looking!

Lucy is pretty tired of thinking of all those possibilities!!

Fall Tree - A Favorite!!

I love when it is time to decorate this Fall Tree -

It all begins with this corner -

This nice 6' corner tree fits nicely -

Add 3 sets of these gorgeous autumn colored lights found at 'Tis the Season - a year-round Christmas shop in Berlin, OH Amish country -

Ribbon and ornaments are added -

The top had been added -

Fillers covered the open/green spaces -

A small brown checked tablecloth with buckeyes is now the tree skirt -

Voila -

Lucy approves -

Fall Decorating Began

I have only accomplished a little of my Fall decorating, but I wanted to share with you on this first day of FALL!!!!

Here is my Fall Mantel - with some closeups --

Love the owls that are everywhere this year -

The wall adjacent to the mantel -

The dining room table -

A close shot of a collage I did of both grandsons at last month's 'Meet the Team' night.  The older one is on the high school golf team and the younger one is on the 7/8th grade football team -

As always happens when I am decorating for any holiday - the empty tables and totes open - are such temptation for Lucy.  She is looking around like 'what???'

Now, her 'innocent' look -
