Recipe: Strawberry! Pineapple! Cranberry! Ayeeee

Hi ladies,

I decided to share another simple recipe with you all today. I made more than enough punch for myself. I might just take it to my neighbors' little girl birthday party tomorrow.

If you would like to make this for just yourself or for you and one person simply half all the ingredients. I promise it will taste just the same.

What will you need to buy? 3 packs of Strawberry Kool Aid, Sugar, Water, Cranberry Juice, Pineapple Juice, and Ginger Ale. All product are in Wal-Mart.

bowl, spoon, measuring tool

• 3 packs of Strawberry Kool Aid (any flavor that your prefer like Tropical Punch etc.)
• 2 cups of sugar
• 1 quart of Water (you can use cold or warm water (warm water helps the sugar dissolve faster))
• 16 oz. of Cranberry juice (or more)
• 1 46 oz. can of Pineapple Juice (I use Dole)
• 1 Quart Ginger Ale

You will need a large mixing bowl, spoon, and measuring essentials of course.
Pour in sugar, kool aid, and then water (cold or warm your choice). Stir together once sugar is dissolve add in the cranberry juice then pineapple juice. Place into the fridge to chill and once your ready to serve pour in the ginger ale and stir well. To add a splash of color or to just make it look cute slice up some lemons and place them on the top.

You can serve this at a party (birthday, Christmas, etc), family gathering, or a get together with friends. This punch was the talk of my bridal shower last year. Everyone enjoyed it.

Well so much for viewing hope your all try out this Strawberry Punch recipe!

By the way I am not a chef. I am just a beginner! Thanks for viewing! =)

Dinner: Chicken Spaghetti Recipe

Hi GFWs,

I have been searching all over the internet for a good chicken spaghetti recipe. I couldn't find one. So I had to ask my mother-in-law and my aunt for her recipe since I am trying to learn how to cook different things that my husband likes before he comes home from his deployment. I saw that their recipes were very similar, but decided to make it like his mom because again I'm just practicing for when he comes home. Of course, I substituted a couple of things but hey he will get over it. lol
Here are the ingredients I used:

• 1 10 3/4 oz. can of Cream of Mushroom
• 1 10 3/4 oz. can of Cream of Chicken
• 1 10 oz. can of Rotel Mild Diced Tomatoes and Green Chilli
• 1 8 oz. can of Del Monte Whole Kernal Corn
• 1 8 oz. can of Del Monte Sweet Peas
• 1 12 oz package of Skinner's Regular Spaghetti Noodles
• 2 packages of boneless breast tenderloins (doesn't matter what brand)
• 1 small package of Velveeta Cheese (original)
• Others: salt, pepper, creole seasoning (original)

Let's get started preparing... 

If necessary thaw out your chicken!

Prepare the Creamy Mixture: In a large bowl add cream of mushroom, cream of chicken, corn, sweet peas, rotel, cheese, and a layer of Tony Chachere's Creole Seasoning (original). Once all are added mix them together. (If you don't have creole seasoning you can just add salt/pepper)

Prepare the chicken: Once the chicken is thawed, washed, and clean begin to fill a pot about half way or 3/4 the way with cold water and place chicken in the pot. Set on the stove on high (medium/high) and cook for 20 minutes or once all chicken as floated to the top. While it was boiling I added a couple of dashed of salt/pepper (Just Because). Once done drain it and run cold water over the chicken. 

Prepare the noodles: If you have a non-stick pot like I have then spray a little PAM at the bottom and along the sides and add water. Let the water come to a "bubbling" boil before adding noodles. Check the back of the package to see how long to allow your noodles to cook. I cooked mine for 11 minutes. Make sure you monitor your noodles to make sure they are not over cooking and/or sticking to the pot.

While the noodles are cooking peel your chicken into bite size pieces and make sure you toss out the gummy icky parts. I added a little salt on my chicken after I peeled it, but its not necessary. By now the noodles should be done so drain them and then preheat your oven at 350 degrees.

Let's get started layering. *Layering is optional, you can just mix it all together then place it into the pan* I forgot to spray my pan with PAM (so make sure you do that)

Layer 1: Creamy Mixture

Layer 2: Chicken

Layer 3: Slices of Cheese

Layer 4: Noodles

Repeat

Once to the top at add cheese. I added both the slices from the chunk of Velveeta and half the bag of shredded Velveeta cheese. 

Place in the stove for 30 minutes on 350 degrees. Stir. Let cool.
Enjoy!!! 
Creamy Cheesy Chicken Spaghetti.

Optional:

-If you are a fan of bell pepper and onion you can add that in with the chicken while it is cooking instead of salt/pepper.

-You don't have to add corn/sweet peas

By the way I am nowhere near a chef. I'm just a beginner. Thanks for viewing.

Dessert: Banana Pudding Recipe

Hi Ladies,
Today was my very first time making banana pudding. I got a sweet tooth and decided to go and buy the ingredients to make banana pudding.
While making it I ate half of the cookies. Shame on me. lol
1 (5 ounce) Vanilla Pudding Mix (Jell-O)
1 (8 ounce) Cream Cheese (I used Philadelphia)
1 can of sweeten condense milk (I used Eagle Brand)
3 cups of regular milk
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
1 (8 ounce) Cool Whip
4 Bananas or however many you like
1 Box of Nilla Wafers (Don't eat half the box like I did..lol)

Place the room temperature cream cheese into a bowl and mix until creamy, then add the condense milk, mix those together. Now add the vanilla pudding (mix), then slowly pour in the 3 cups of cold milk, then add the teaspoon of vanilla extract. Finally, fluff in half of the thing of cool whip. Once everything is mixed together well prepare your bowl. A lot of recipes require you to use a 9 x 13 bowl to place in your ingredients. Place however you like in layers. I placed the cookies, bananas, and poured a bit of the mix over it and repeated that step. After that I added the remaining cool whip and decorated it with crumbled Nilla wafers on the top.

Let it chill in the fridge for 2 to 3 hours or if your like me and made this at 11 at night then leave it in until the next day.

I personally think that it doesn't need the cream cheese because I taste it. I don't want to taste it. But hey I'm a very picky eater and I can't cook. So hey...lol

Hope you enjoy!
