move it move it, i like to move it move it



soooooooo... jeff and i are moving this week. this has been interesting, well, because our schedules are very opposite and because it is the middle of winter. sometimes when i have free time i've found it's pretty hard to gain the motivation to pack things up or move things when i'm alone... i just hate packing and unpacking things, maybe that's why i never go on vacations, besides the fact that i'm not allowed to leave work to do that. we're very grateful for friends and family members who've offered to help us (and drive their trucks!!)! we are super excited and are anxious to get everything in and set up nice. i'm recruiting anyone that has a "cute" home themselves to tell me all the "cute" things they do to make their "cute house" "cute". our place will be aesthetically pleasing, but i do need to pick up things here and there to fill in some empty decorating space.

creamy chicken pesto. yum!



so this is one of our favorite recipes (the picture above isn't my food, i found the pic online, but it looks pretty similar to the one i make) that i like to make a couple of times a month. it's SOOOOO beyond easy and it tastes so good! jeff loves it so much that instead of going out for his birthday, he asked if i would make creamy chicken pesto instead!

Creamy Chicken Pesto **i always half this recipe.

3 cups uncooked bowtie pasta (i use penne instead)
2 tablespoons butter or margarine
1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cubed
1 can CAMPBELL'S cream of chicken soup
1/2 cup pesto sauce
1/2 cup milk

1. Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain.
2. Meanwhile, heat butter in skillet. Add chicken and cook until browned, stirring often.
3. Add soup, pesto sauce and milk. Bring to a boil. Cook over low heat 5 minutes of until done. Stir in pasta and heat through.
