Chicken Spaghetti

One of my favorite recipes is chicken spaghetti. I rarely make it, but it's almost always what I request from my mom when I go back home. It's just yummy comfort food that makes me feel like a kid again. Parker really likes it as well as long as it is chock full of chicken! Boys and their protein needs. Try this for a weeknight meal or a nice Sunday afternoon around the table with family.

Ingredients:
1 can cream of chicken soup
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1 can Rotel, drained (we use mild, but use what your family likes)
1 package of spaghetti
1/2 onion, diced
1 jar pimentos
2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
1 cup cooked chicken, cubed

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Cook spaghetti according to package instructions and set aside.
3. Meanwhile, saute onions in butter until translucent.
4. In a medium bowl, stir together soups, Rotel, pimentos, chicken, and 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese. Stir in sauteed onions and cooked spaghetti.
5. Pour mixture into an 8x8 baking dish and top with cheese. Bake 15-20 minutes or until cheese is melted.

Enjoy!

Weekend Things

Monday Funday! This weekend went by way too quickly, but honestly, I can't remember the last time I didn't think that. The Phelps trio took it easy and spent time together as our little family of three. We have been so excited for a simple evening of dinner and a movie- it might sound boring, but that's our cup of tea! We saw the movie Her this past weekend, and we couldn't stop talking about it. You know a movie is good when you are thinking about it days later. It was raw, emotional, awkward, and fascinating all at the same time. Parker gave it a 10, and we hardly ever give movies a 10. We thought the film did a great job illustrating what our world could look like as technology continues to evolve, but it also conveyed the constant need for people to feel connected. I've never seen a movie like it, and we loved it. The next movie on our agenda is Lone Survivor- we've read the book, and I'll have a box of tissues on hand when I start ugly crying in the middle of the theater.

We also took advantage of the BEAUTIFUL weather we had this weekend and took a nature walk with the pup. Yall, it was in the 70's and gorgeous in south Texas. We were making excuses all weekend to be outside. I even suggested that we he go hit golf balls, something I usually only halfheartedly agree to take part in.

In other news, Jenny is now taking applications for new people. After being forced to go to the vet and take a bath all in the same week, I think we've officially angered her. Kidding of course, but this face was even worse than her usually unimpressed expression.

And I will leave you with this lovely image. Parker and I decided to split an entree at a Chinese restaurant so we wouldn't have tons of leftovers. Apparently this is what splitting an entree looks like. No wonder Corpus Christi is the fattest city in America. I get it.

Have a great week, friends!!
