Since I have a little time today (Abel has been napping 3.5 hours and still going!!! Somebody look at the window, are pigs flying??? ) I am going to share an easy recipe.

After his TERRIBLE episodes of nasty short if-any-naps last week, I think his little body hit the wall OR he is having a growth spurt and will be 3 inches taller when he wakes up.

Either way, I am enjoying this. I still can’t believe there are babies out there that do this type of FANTASTIC napping every day for their moms. I’ve said this before, but I could be supermom if my child took a 3 hour nap everyday!

I actually got some work done (business and personal), designed a postcard for a friend, took a short nap, made dinner, ran a marathon and even took pictures. Rock on!

I wanted to share one of my very first recipes that I learned how to make when I started cooking back in the day. I would make it in college with my roommates. It is actually from Carolyn’s mom, Connie, and it has become a huge favorite around here. I have given this recipe out so many times so I thought since today I have the time I would even take pictures of it for you and send you the recipe.

I will say, I cut back on the butter and crackers to make it a little less fattening. (Us 5 ft gals need to watch our calories). Seth on the other hand could eat a horse every night and never put on an ounce of fat.

So here it is: (add more butter & crackers if you need the fat!) Not only is it delicious but it is SO EASY!!!

Poppy Seed Chicken:

What you need:

- Chicken (1.5 lbs) Boil and then cube
- 1 cup of sour cream (light if you are watching)
- 1 can of cream of chicken soup (again, you can go light)
- 1/2 stick of butter (by all means, butter it up more if you can stand to add some fat to your thighs)
- 1/2 package of Ritz crackers, crushed
- poppy seeds (the amount is up to your liking)
- (optional) to make it a little more creamy-add 1/4 cup of milk

1) In a 9×13 casserole dish or whatever dish you please, add the sour cream and cream of chicken and mix together.
2) Add cooked, cubed chicken into the dish and mix together
3) Melt butter
4) In separate dish crush the Ritz crackers and then pour the melted butter onto the crackers
5) Add the crackers onto the chicken
6) Add poppy seeds
7) Cook for 30 minutes at 350 and ENJOY!

And here’s my dear friend Carolyn, Carebear as I like to call her, doing a FANTASTIC job babysitting Abel and Ava while I photographed baby Tyler the other week.

They are singing “The wheels on the bus” and now Abel is obsessed with that song!
