Chicken Divan

Ingredients: 2-4 cups chopped cooked chicken 4-6 cups fresh or frozen broccoli 1 can Cream of Mushroom Soup (I like Cream of Celery or Onion too) 1 can Cream of Chicken Soup 1 soup can of Milk 1/2 cup of Mayo 1 tsp. Lemon juice 1 tsp-1 tbs curry (to taste) 1 tsp Black Pepper 2 Cups Shredded Cheese 3 slices bread, toasted and crumbled (bread crumbs)     Directions:   Steam the broccoli to give it a head start in baking. In a large bowl, mix the soups, milk, Mayo, curry and pepper. Stir in the cooked chicken, broccoli and cheese. Top with bread crumbs and more cheese if desired. :) Cover and bake at 350 degrees until bubbly for about 30 minutes.     NOTES: I got this recipe from my good friend Sophia. It sounded so yummy that I had to try it. I definitely recommend it!! :) YUM!!         ~ Tammy

Peach Pie Recipe

Just thought I would share a yummy recipe I just got from a friend. :) Not sure if it works in the "nutritional" department but it sure works in the YUMMMMMM-OOOOOh department!! :) Fast and easy and no bake and the children can easily help do it. Peach Pie (you can substitute with any fruit combo) Crush 3/4 package of Pecan Sandies Cookies & mix with 1/2 stick of butter. Press into pie plate. Slice enough peaches to fill shell (can use canned or 7-8 peaches). Mix 1 can Eagle Brand milk with 1/4 cup lemon juice until thick. Then pour on top of sliced peaches. Whipped cream on top and VOILA!! Easy yummy FHE dessert or Company dessert. A few extra tips: * Mix the milk and juice first so that you can pour it directly over the peaches before they turn colors. * I usually serve the slice of pie with more cookie crumbs sprinkled on top. :)   ~ Tammy Judd & the Chicken Crew aka: Kierstyn (9), Kaity (8), Clayton (6), Taryn (3), Quade (2)
