My Favorite Meal!

I just wanted to share a delicious and easy recipe! It has been on my "Favorite Meals" list ever since my Grandma Smith introduced it to our family many years ago. So give it a try it just might make it on your "Favorite Meals" list too!

Opulent Chicken

6-8 chicken breasts, cut in half, boned and skinned (chicken tenderloins work well too!)
Lay in a 9X13 baking dish and put a slice of swiss cheese on each breast.

Mix together 2 cans cream of chicken soup, 1/2 cup sour cream and 1/2 cup water. Pour over chicken breasts. Mix 2 cups Ritz cracker crumbs (about 1 1/2 packages) and 1/2 cup melted butter and sprinkle over top.

Bake at 275 degrees for 2 1/2 hours. Serve with a side dish of steamed rice. (The gravy part of the dish we pour over the rice.)

Enjoy! Please let me know if you have any questions.

Bountiful Baskets


I am sure many of you have heard of this, but for those of you who haven't there is a wonderful opportunity in the Valley to receive fresh fruits and vegetables for only $15.00. You heard right $15.00!!!

Bountiful Baskets Food Co-op serves the Phoenix Metro Area. They run every two weeks at each site, and they recently opened one up right here in our neighborhood, Pecos and Higley. They are completely volunteer-run and make no profit.

Produce is an interesting thing because the prices, quality and availability are constantly changing. We do not know what will be available in good quality at a fair price each given week until we get to the warehouse. So Bountiful Baskets always tries to make the basket half fruit and half vegetables, and at least a $35 savings off of grocery store prices.

This is how it works.

As a group, you purchase items at deep discount or wholesale prices. Items are then distributed evenly among participants.
Contribute the amount required for each item desired by the deadline(s) listed on their website.

Here is a cut and paste summary version:

Produce baskets are purchased from a warehouse that supplies produce to many local restaurants and grocery stores. This is the same produce you would get from a restaurant or store.
Basket contents:
A variety of high-quality seasonal produce.
A balance variety with seasonality in order to get the most appealing and cost-effective basket possible.
For natural beef, they purchase cows from a local rancher and get excellent quality beef for a fraction of comparable store price.
For dry goods, they purchase from wholesalers around the USA. These same wholesalers supply many natural food markets in the Phoenix area and around the country.
Check out the website above for more information If you would like to try the co-op, we would love to have you participate in the July 5th Pickup. Please return to website between June 25th and July 2nd to contribute! its a stealin deal!!!

And if you have done Bountiful baskets before comment to tell others what you think and your experience with it.
