I really love Gooseberry Patch. They are always bringing us new and fun cookbooks and ideas. Have you checked out their blog? I am a frequent visitor over there. I’m always linking up some recipes to their link-up parties. They also have great stuff on YouTube.
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced
1 Tbsp. garlic chopped
1 tsp. Italian seasoning
1 tsp. pepper
1/2 tsp. salt
28 oz. can crushed tomatoes
6 oz. can tomato paste
3/4 c. water
16 oz. pkg. angel hair pasta, cooked
In a slow cooker, layer the onion, chicken, garlic, seasonings, tomatoes, tomato paste, and water. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours. Serve over pasta.
I really liked this dish. I put in together in the morning and it was ready to eat at dinner time. I didn’t have crushed tomatoes so I used whole stewed tomatoes and put them in my processor and crushed them that way. Worked perfectly. I also used 1/2 tsp. minced garlic instead of fresh garlic. I had to sprinkle the top with shredded Parmesan cheese. Of course.
1/2 c. margarine
3/4 c. brown sugar
20 marshmallows
1/4 c. creamy peanut butter
Place popcorn into a large bowl; set aside. In a separate microwave-safe bowl, combine margarine, brown sugar, and marshmallows. Microwave on high at one-minute intervals, stirring in between each interval, until mixture is melted and smooth. Stir in peanut butter until well blended. Pour over popcorn; stir quickly to coat before it cools. Option: Bake the popcorn on an ungreased baking sheet at 200 degrees for 20 minutes.
This was a tasty treat! I want to try it with air popped popcorn next time to compare the tastes, but it’s a winner at our house. This is the perfect treat for a lazy winter (on any) day playing board games or watching old movies.
So that’s that.
Oh wait.

My favorite Christmas meal would be my mother's Duck Soup or czarnina—she didn't use the duck blood as is the Polish tradition, She used chicken broth and lots of fruit, like raisons and prunes. I also loved the 20 pound box of chocolates my dad would pass around on Christmas Eve. arlene Marie Pitts email: carpediem5790@yahoo.com Happy Holidays! lol
