My Fur Babies

Bella

Theodore

Cheetah

I have always been a huge animal lover. I currently have 2 dogs and 1 cat. I have rescued all of my animals that have been in my life. I have 2 Chihuahuas one named Theodore and the other is Bella. Bella is 4 years old and I found her outside of my house 3 years ago, she didn’t have a collar or chip so I took her in and fell in love with her. She is tan in color and is an absolute doll. I love her attitude, she loves to play with her squeaky toys. She is very loving and sweet; however, bed time is a different story.  Bella will growl at me if I touch her or accidentally nudge her in bed. She is so cute when she wants to play, because she will run around in circles and get excited when you try playing with her. She does something very strange, she likes to line her babies (toys) up in a row. Sometimes she will hold her baby in her mouth while she walks around crying. Theodore is 2 years old and he is very hyper and really loving. I found him in the middle of a very busy street by a gas station where I was getting fuel and he walked right up to me. Theo constantly wants to play and he is the biggest baby. He is attached to my hip at all times, and if I leave him outside while I am inside, he cries for me. Both of them are a joy to have in my life, because they love to cuddle with me and they get so excited when I come home. It’s the greatest feeling in the world when I come home to them and to be greeted with nothing but unconditional love. My cat’s name is Cheetah, I have had in my life for 17 years and he is not the friendliest cat, but he is very smart. He usually likes to be left alone and not messed with otherwise he will growl and scratch you. About ten years ago, he learned how to pee in the toilet, I didn’t teach him. I heard a stream of pee hitting the water in the toilet and I was surprised to find him straddling the toilet. I was shocked and couldn’t believe it. He has mellowed out a lot in his old age and is very sweet now, but still very independent.  

 

The BEST Chicken Recipe

Are you bored with the same recipes that you make week after week? Here is a simple and delicious favorite meal of mine that I would like to share. Guaranteed a hit for your whole family to enjoy.

This recipe is easy to make because most of the work is in the oven. The recipe is called “Chicken Bundle”.  It has different cheeses that you roll up with spinach in the chicken. You also need to pound out the chicken to an inch thickness, which can help take out that aggression from your stressful week. Ha! 

Chicken Bundle

Here are the items that you will need:

4 oz. (1/2 of 8-oz. pkg.) PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese, softened

1 pkg. (10 oz.) frozen chopped spinach, thawed, well drained

1 cup KRAFT Shredded Low-Moisture Part-Skim Mozzarella Cheese

6 Tbsp. KRAFT Grated Parmesan Cheese, divided

6 small boneless skinless chicken breasts (1-1/2 lb.), pounded to 1/4-inch thickness

1 egg

10 RITZ Crackers, crushed (about 1/2 cup)

                                                                                       Package of rotini pasta, al dente

                                                                                       1 jar of your favorite pasta or alfredo sauce                   

Here are the directions on how to put it together:

• Heat oven to 375ºF.
• Pound out chicken breasts to 1 inch thickness. Mix cream cheese, spinach, mozzarella and 3 Tbsp. Parmesan until blended; spread onto chicken. Starting at one short end of each breast, roll up chicken tightly. Secure with wooden toothpicks, if desired.
• Beat egg in shallow dish. Mix remaining Parmesan and cracker crumbs in separate shallow dish. Dip chicken in egg, then roll in crumb mixture to evenly coat. Place, seam-sides down, in 13x9-inch baking dish sprayed with cooking spray.
• Boil 3 quarts of water, place ½ box of rotini in boiling water, cook uncovered approximately 8-10 minutes until al dente.  Drain well.
• Place pasta sauce in medium saucepan until hot.
• Bake 30 min. or until chicken is done (165ºF). Remove and discard toothpicks.
• Place cooked pasta on bottom of plate, place chicken on top and pour sauce over to taste.

 Enjoy!
