My View ~ Leftover Yam/Rice/Chicken ~ Chicken Bubble Bake ~ Popcorn ~ Ranch Dressing

   

Good 46º foggy morning. Yesterday we topped at 55º.

The turkeys were out and about....

For dinner the other night I cooked a yam in the slow cooker, scrub outside, slit in half lengthwise, put in cooker with water, on high for 3 hours.

Then I added the drained mushrooms to a pan with olive oil and sauteéd them almost crispy.

In the big pan went leftover risotto, the drained canned chicken, mushrooms, and diced up cooked yam. Mixed all together and heated well.... OMGOOOD!!!!

1. Preheat oven to 375º. Coat a 9x13 baking dish with cooking spray.

2. In large bowl, combine soup, milk, thyme, salt, and pepper. Mix well. Stir in vegetables and chicken. Place mixture in baking dish.

3. Bake 15 minutes, then remove from oven.

4. Meanwhile in a medium bowl combine  biscuits and butter, toss until evenly coated. Arrange biscuits over chicken mixture and bake 15-18 minutes more, or until biscuits are golden and casserole is bubbly.

Last night, since it was Popcorn Lover's Day I had popcorn! Melted butter, garlic salt, and bacon salt. (http://www.jdfoods.net/)  

 For you bacon lovers... they also have Baconnaise! OMGOOOOOD!

Then it was chair, wine, and TV. Tried to watch a couple new shows, but they were not worth my time. Back to the good old standbys.

All I know. Nuff said. Happy TGIF. Ciao.
