Gifts for the Girls & One for the Guys...

I cannot believe that tomorrow is Christmas Eve!!!! Eeeek...I have been so busy today trying to wrap up little last minute gift ideas.... I followed the recipe here to whip up some lemon sugar body scrub. I thought these would be a nice little extra to go along with the UBER cute potholders my mom made for me to give as gifts this year...{new year's resolution # 212 learn to sew} She followed the tut here I adore the set she made for me & knew that my friends would all love them too...thanks Mom!

Here is an upclose of my version of the lemon sugar scrub. I used different sized jars that I had been saving for some perfect project...found it!!! Woot Woot! I found the frame template download here...it was originally meant to make one of those way cute soap bottles, but with the help of photoshop I made it into a way cute little label...

Now I couldn't let the girls have ALL the fun...hehehe! Lil Luckeegirl and I whipped up a batch for Mr. Luckee and Papa too! {We used sugar about 1 1/2 cups and about 3 Tblsp of Axe moisture body wash} This is approximate because I added a little as I went to get the consistency the way I wanted it! Then I googled man scrubbing as an image and found the fun little clipart...added the words MAN SCRUB and viola...a masculine version of the scrub! I attached my labels using packing tape...and bought my spoons 3 for $1 at the good ol' dollar store!

King of all King Ranch Chicken Recipes...

Or at least it is in my opinion...

Last night was my 3rd attempt (and 3rd recipe) for King Ranch Chicken Casserole...and it was DIVINE!!!!

I found this recipe in my church cookbook that I bought last year...and when I saw the name of the lady that submitted the recipe I was certain it would be delish. This lady can do it all, so I decided to make it!

But as it goes in my house I am always short one or two ingredients, so I improvised...and it was still GREAT!

King Ranch Chicken Casserole

2-3 large chicken breasts {I cooked mine in chicken broth in my crockpot all day}

1 c. chicken broth {I used the broth that I cooked my chicken in}

1 can cream of chicken soup {I used the 98% ff kind}

1 can cream of mushroom soup {98% ff here too}

1 can green chillies chopped {missing this ingredient at my house}

1 can of Rotel

1 sm. purple onion chopped

1 sm. green bell pepper chopped

6-8 corn tortillas { I didn't have these so I used On The Border tortilla chips crunched up...it was yummy}

16 oz. grated cheddar cheese {again I was out...can you tell I need to go grocery shopping?} I used about half of a 16 oz block of velveeta sliced into thin strips...really liked the creaminess of this too!

Cook chicken, shred or dice it up and set aside. In a mixing bowl combine all soups, chicken broth, chilies, rotel, onion, and pepper. Cut tortillas or crunch up chips. In a sprayed casserole dish layer half the chicken, half the tortillas/chips, half the soup mixture, and half the cheese. Repeat the layer a second time. Bake at 325 for 45 minutes.
