Katie's Recipe Swap
A friend posted a request for a recipe swap and I saw such yummy things here that I couldn't help but post a few of my own staples. Would love to hear what yours are!

- Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 4.5 oz can of chopped green chiles
- 10 oz cream of chicken soup

Boil chicken until done. Mix soup, sour cream, drained chiles and seasoning mix in large bowl. Dice chicken and put in lightly greased 9x13 glass pan. Pour soup mixture over chicken and add cheese. Bake 20-25 mins at 350. While baking, crush doritos in a ziploc bag to add on top. Bake an additional 10 minutes or until chips are golden brown.

Combine above ingredients and work into the shape of a ring. Put Strawberry Preserves in the center of the ring and serve with whole grain crackers and a cute Christmas spreader.

Fall Back
What a gift this time change is! I feel so productive when I get up early on the weekends. Even more of a treat was the fact that I woke up thinking it was Monday. It was a nice little surprise to realize I didn’t have to get ready for work. So, here I sit with pumpkin spice coffee in hand, back doors open, allowing a cool morning breeze to freshen up my life.
Today is a shopping day so I have already made my lists, checked the Sunday newspaper ads and even clipped coupons! That is a new thing for me but I was inspired by a clip on Good Morning America this week – did anyone else see the superwoman who feeds a family of 6 on just a few cents a week?! Her trip to the grocery store totaled $278 but after coupons went down to 11 cents! Talk about a Recessionista inspiration!
It has been sometime since I have done a major catch up so here are some highlights…
September revolved around back to school, Kylee’s birthday and I’m sure some Gator games thrown in for good measure. Her luau birthday party was a success and her big gift item was the Nintendo DS which is now permanently attached to her. She participated in her first horseshow and is obsessed with all things horses – I can’t imagine who planted that seed.
We spent nearly two months between the lakehouse and Gainesville but the effort just wasn’t helping to show our house so we packed up and headed back home. I think spending time away really made us appreciate our home because it has been SO good to be back. It was time to sit back and relinquish the grip I had taken on the whole situation and being at peace with that decision has taken a huge load off my shoulders. Our house will sell when the time is right and we’ll find one in Ocala if that is where we are meant to be. My lesson of the month was to realize that He is in control and that is a good thing.
October celebrated our 2nd anniversary and was filled with chaotic work trips. My company acquired another which means lots of changes, therefore lots of meetings. I spent a good portion of the month in meetings which honestly was a much needed break out of the field. Another celebration taking place during October was Molly’s Bachelorette Bash – we headed north to NYC for a crazy weekend with a great group of girls. It was so much fun and the B2B was such a good sport when it came to our crazy bachelorette related activities.
November is looking to be just as crazy as the rest. Jeff is leaving tomorrow for a week long hunting trip in upstate New York and I leave Wednesday for a training trip in White Plains, NY and a weekend in the city with an old friend.
Thanksgiving and Christmas will be here before we know it – where has 2009 gone?!

Daddy/Daughter Rifle Range
Jeff and my Dad have been trying to get me to learn how to shoot forever now and since I recently sent off for my concealed weapons permit, I have realized it is probably a good idea to at least know how to use the guns we have in our house. Kylee was with us and did great - she even shot one of the bigger guns that I was afraid to shoot! It was a lot of fun - looking forward to doing it again soon.
