Swiss Chicken

I was reminded of this favorite as Hudson picked it for his 20th birthday dinner. I served it with mashed potatoes, fresh green beans, freshly made applesauce and rolls. We had cheesecake and chocolate layer cake for dessert. Yum Huds and Happy birthday from us all


Boneless/skinless breast of chicken. (I cut it up in large chunks as it cooks faster. layer chicken in the bottom of a baking dish.

Layer a good amount of swiss cheese slices next.

Layer cream of chicken soup spread out on top of cheese... do not skimp add another can if needed Do not dilute!

Sprinkle with dry stuffing mix then drizzle with a stick of melted butter

Cover with tin foil and bake 45 mins at 350 degrees. Take off foil and bake another 15 mins to brown crumbs

Yum!! Thanks Jordan for taking this over for me! xoxox

Mom's BEST Banana Bread

I have no problem saying this is the best banana bread that I have ever tasted! I dont ever double this recipe but do one at a time it mixes up fast and I have baked up to 20 in one session! They freeze great! A great gift!

1 stick of margarine or butter
1 egg
1 cup of sugar
beat with mixer
add 3 very ripe bananas. I throw them in whole if the mixer is heave duty or mash on a plate before adding

Add 1+1/2 cup "fluffy" flour....not packed down
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup nuts is optional

mix all together
pour into greased loaf pan or 2 small loaf pans

Bake at 350 degrees for 40 mins for 1 loaf do not over cook but make sure it is done in the middle!

Remember this Jacob? You got pretty good at making these .. Almost as good as me!! xoxo

The BEST Hot fudge sauce

Melt 1 stick margarine or butter
add s l o w l y 2+1/2 cups sugar
whisking constantly

add 1/2 tsp salt

add 3 squares of bakers unsweetened chocolate or 9 tbs of cocoa

very gradually add 1 large can of evaporated milk
and 1 tsp vanilla

This is best made in a double boiler so that it will not catch on and burn. Cook 1 hour and 10 mins stirring frequently.

this will make a quart and can be stored in the fridge in a clean mayonaise jar. take out what you need and microwave and There you go!!
