A quick and yummy meal.

I think that Jo gave me this recipe after a large Thanksgiving turkey with plenty of family to feed. I like to fix this after a night of hubby's cooking - one Costco rotisserie chicken! Because it is just the two of us, I now make half a recipe in a 9x9 pan. This is the original full recipe: Easy Chicken Divine 2 10 ounce packages of frozen broccoli 2 cups cooked chicken or turkey (chunks) 2 cans cream of chicken soup 1 cup mayonnaise 1 teaspoon lemon juice 1/2 teaspoon curry powder 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (I also add 11/2  cup cooked rice to the bottom layer of the pan) This recipe works fine without using exact proportions - I often use more broccoli and chicken depending on how many servings I need.

Combine soup, mayonnaise, lemon juice and curry powder. Pour over meat. May top with cheese and bread crumbs t...

The Chick has left - the nest is empty!

Last week "The Chick" flew the coop - the nest is empty. It must have been traumatic because this is as far as the post got until today...... May 5th: Today I went to work as usual but Hubby and The Chick packed up her belongings. It was, "To The New Job or Bust!" They loaded up all the furniture that I'd been hanging onto for this big occasion, and Babycakes was put into her cage. She sang a mournful solo for a good many hours! Sadly, when they arrived at the new apartment, the couch wouldn't fit in through the door! - IT'S NOT MAKING THE TRIP BACK HOME! - My new furniture is arriving Saturday morning! - No returns!! Update: The old couch came home, it's in the garage. I got my new furniture and love it! "The Chick" starts her new job tomorrow! Babycakes is reverting to her early childhood, using her binky and not sure life is okay without the Cat Whisper!
