Chicken: The blank canvas of meats.

Today I had nothing to make for dinner and I looked in my freezer only to find chicken... I don't like chicken very much because it's so plain. I'm trying to step outside my box of "Chicken is plain" and find ways to make it fun. Tonight I'm trying a chicken alfredo recipe I got off the internet and I never follow recipes I just make them my own. I started off with one can of cream of chicken soup and 1 stick of unsalted butter. I don't know why I used that much butter. I just did, so deal with it. I put those in my warmed up crock pot and let the butter melt in with the soup. It was smelling so good. Then I spiced it up by adding some freshly ground black pepper. While I was letting the soup and butter come together I was cutting up my boneless, skinless chicken breasts into one inch squares and added those to the crock pot as well. (2.25 pounds of chicken is how much I had.) Now that's been in the crock pot for about 10 minutes, so we'll see how things turn out in a few hours.

What the snow?

Finally it has snowed, stayed for more than a few hours and the roads are covered. It's finally winter. Wooo!
