Wow that was difficult, having to pick just ten bloggers, there are so many more!

And now for the food, yummy! Last weekend I made a really delicious Spinach Stuffing for the first time. My DH, aka 'The Carnivore' wasn't too excited about this. He's cut his carbs to almost nothing and lost about 30 pounds so far! I found the stuffing recipe online, altered it a bit...You know I use what I have on hand most of the time; it finished great.With that I served Creamy Chicken and Mushrooms. This was a recipe that came from mom, with a new twist added. Mom prepared this one in the oven, minus the vino, sometimes it was over potatoes. I did the stove top method, plus the vino! There are no finished pictures because a friend of mine, whom I haven't seen for about a year, stopped by right at dinner time. Knowing about her diet, we waited to eat. By the time I made it back to the kitchen, we were famished! My stomach said, "No time for pictures just dish up that food will ya!" After dinner I popped this photo of the leftover stuffing, to give you an idea of how it finished anyway.

1. Saute the peppers, onions, mushrooms and garlic over medium heat til soft. Season with seasoning salt and pepper.

2. Add the spinach and cook for about 5 minutes more.

3. Place in large bowl and cool to room temperature.

4. Add cilantro, cheese and stuffing mix. Let sit about 10 minutes or so until the bread absorbs the liquid from the veggies. If it's too dry, add chicken stock.(I added 3/4 cup)

5. Stuff into turkey or just place in a greased baking dish and bake for about 30 minutes. (I baked in an 8 X 8 glass dish)

the original - http://www.grouprecipes.com/27782/spinach-stuffing.html

The stuffing was very moist and not in any way mushy.The cheese gave it a sharp flavor yet not overpowering the spinach. In fact, my son Red, who hates spinach, almost polished off the whole dish! Given that my family doesn't really like those slimy or mushy textures that vegetables like spinach have, this one is definitely a keeper!

Creamy Chicken

5 chicken breasts, bone in

salt and pepper to taste

1 onion, chopped (I sliced them)

1/2 pound fresh mushrooms, sliced

1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup (I used cream of celery)

1/2 cup white wine, divided

1/2 can milk

1. Season chicken with salt, pepper to taste.

2. In a large skillet, brown the chicken over medium-high heat.

3. Wisk soup, remaining wine, and milk in a small bowl.

4. Remove chicken, deglaze pan with 1/4 cup of white wine.(Gotta incorporate those yummy brown bits of flavor)

5. Lower the heat, add the mushrooms, and saute for one minute, move to the side.

6. Return the chicken to the pan. Add the onions and scoop the mushrooms on top.

7. Pour cream of mushroom soup mix over chicken. Gently move the chicken pieces and swoosh the soup around to incorporate all ingredients. (a seen in photo)

8. When the soup begins to simmer, cover skillet, cook on medium-low. Simmer 20 to 30 minutes, or until chicken are cooked through. I remove the lid for the last five minutes of cooking in order to allow the sauce to thicken.

This recipe produces a nice creamy gravy sauce. The wine adds just the right flavor, turning that cream soup into a gourmet type sauce. The chicken pieces were nice and juicy inside, and remained nicely browned when the dish was cooked through.

Thanks for stopping by to celebrate my 100th, hope you enjoyed my Friends and Food.

Are you hungry?
