We have a favorite cheesy chicken recipe that's similar, but I use cream of celery, 1/4 cup sherry, and croutons sprinkled on top. Yum!

Unfortunately Paul does not...no flannel gowns for me either...but had either of my bio births been born in the winter, you bet I would have been wearing a flannel nightgown for the 6 weeks postpartum! :-D<br /><br />As for our favorite recipe...it was also part of a wedding gift! :-D T-Dogg gave it to me actually :-D. My favorite recipe in there was from my maid-of-honor--it has become a favorite request with EVERYONE who comes to our house...twice baked potatoes. To be honest, I don't use the recipe anymore (and I don't feel like getting the book our right now), but here is what I do:<br /><br />Microwave potatoes until soft (normal baked potatoes)...we usually use 6-8 large potatoes because my kids eat the "innerds" that are leftover from the skins. Makes great "mashed" potatoes :-D.<br /><br />While they are cooking, add into your mixing bowl (we have a stand mixer...LOVE IT!!!):<br /><br />1 stick of butter<br />1/2 - 1 cup sour cream<br />1/2 a brick of cream cheese (not sure how big those are...normal phil. cream cheese)<br />1/2 tsp onion salt<br />handful of shredded cheese<br /><br />When the potatoes are done, set them out to cool for a couple minutes or you WILL burn your hands. Then, cut a large oval in the top of the potato, and scoop out the insides (will look like a bowl). Add that to your mix.<br /><br />Mix well until it looks like mashed potatoes.<br /><br />Then...scoop your mixture back into your "potato bowls", sprinkle with paprika and parsley, and put more shredded cheese on the top.<br /><br />Microwave for 1-2 minutes <br /><br />DELICIOUS!!!<br /><br />Not the lowest-calorie thing on the planet, which is why it is usually reserved for "steak night"...People LOVE being invited over to our house :-D (free steak and potato dinner...just have to put up with noisy kids! :-D) Got to say…I love flannel.

I thought I had, but for some reason, I can't remember having it over rice... maybe if you had pictures, that would jog my memory. ;) Have I had this before?

That seems to be the case with a lot of meals I grew up with. sigh...<br /><br />In our garden (my mom's garden, really) we would grow mustard greens. When cooked with ham and diced up potatoes (in the greens) they get really soft and mushy. Sounds nasty, looks nasty, tastes amazing over maccaroni and we would also have hard-boiled eggs. Oh my goodness, now I'm salivating. YUM YUM!<br /><br />There's also the homemade sauerkraut, pickles and applesauce. mmmmm My favorite recipe is something that I could only have at home because there's no chance that we would ever make it together.
