Pecan N Cheese Crusted Chicken


4-6 chicken breasts
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup crumbled bleu or feta cheese
1/4 chopped and toasted pecans
Italian style bread crumbs

Set oven to 425. Place chicken in a 13x7 dish. Mix mayo, cheese, and pecans together in a bowl. Smooth mixture onto the tops of the chicken breasts. Sprinkle with bread crumbs. Bake for 20 minutes or until chicken is cooked.

*I pounded out my breasts and then cut them to smaller chunks to help them cook thoroughly in the oven. Because my breasts were so big (lol), I doubled the mayo mix to cover the chicken well.
*This dish was really tasty when sided with Parmesan Butter noodles (Pasta Roni) and a salad. It even heated up well the next day!
*Sorry there's no picture!

Damn Good Lemon Pie


1 (8oz) pkg cream cheese
1 cup sugar
1 (15oz) can Lemon Pie filling
1 carton Cool Whip, thawed
1 graham cracker crust

Beat the cream cheese and sugar together. Add half the jar of Lemon Pie filling and beat. Fold in the Cool Whip. Fill graham cracker crust with the lemon and cheese mix. Top with remaining Lemon Pie filling. Chill for 15 minutes and serve.

*The longer you chill it, the better it tastes!
*You can get the larger Lemon Pie can and use it instead if you like lemon.

Welcome!!!

An idea that started from within Jen's visionary brain, I have spawned this new website for us to utilize! It seems there are lots of great, easy-to-make dishes out there that we try on our own but don't share with everyone. This family blog will give us the opportunity to share those recipes with each other... a sign that Mama Wheeler really did instill good characteristics in us like sharing!

We can have as many authors to this blog as we want. Then, you can add a recipe on as you wish. It would be great if a picture could be included, of either the dish or of someone enjoying it. But what's most important is that the dish is family-friendly and we could make it, keeping in mind that we are all on a budget these days!

Let's get posting!
