CHICKEN NANCY
6-8 boneless, skinless chicken thighs; OR 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, halved
Swiss cheese slices
1 box seasoned stuffing mix
1 can cream of chicken soup
1 cup chicken broth
salt and pepper to taste
4 T. margarine/butter, melted
Place chicken pieces in the bottom of a greased, glass casserole dish. Top each piece with a slice of Swiss cheese (I use half a slice on each piece of chicken). Sprinkle with salt and pepper, if desired. Combine soup and broth and pour evenly over chicken. Top with stuffing mix. Drizzle with melted margarine/butter. Cover and bake at 350-degrees for 45 minutes to an hour, or until chicken is done. Serve with brown rice and a vegetable or salad. (When I received this recipe, it recommended using wine--NOT cooking sherry--in place of the broth. Since I don't routinely purchase wine, I used broth instead. The wine will give it a richer flavor.)

Mennonite Caramel Apples recipe
6 red baking apples
1 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
1/2 cup water
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon butter
1 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Wash and pare apples one-third of the way down from stem end. Leave whole. Remove cores and cook in syrup made of sugar and water. When apples are tender, remove to serving dish. Combine cornstarch and milk to make a smooth paste. Bring cornstarch to the boiling point and then add syrup in which apples were cooked. Cook for 10 minutes or until cornstarch is thoroughly cooked. Remove from heat and add butter, salt and vanilla extract. Pour over apples and serve.
This sounds like a yummy dinner combo!
Happy Baking:-)

I'm not usually drawn to Amish/Mennonite storylines, but I have to admit that Kim's plot intrigues me. Sounds like "Bygones" could be a fun way to broaden my horizons.
The recipe for caramel apples sounds great. Best of luck with your book giveaway project this week.

Sounds like a real heart-warming book. Two of my brothers-in-law married into the Mennonite community.

Florence,
You might feel right at home with this book or even learn more about your brother's families. That's so cool!

That is a lovely table. Is that Desert Rose pottery? If so, my mom has that... :)
And Kim's book sounds great!
Jess as in Jessica F.
I'll defer to you Jess:-) The boys had a fundraiser at his high school. They had to decorate the table and make the meal for the girls. Then the girls had to buy the tables at auction without knowing which boys did which table. All they saw was the tour of the tables and the menus in a frame. So much fun! I'll have to do a post on the fundraiser sometime and show a bunch of the tables:-)
Did you print those yummy recipes yet?

Hey Mom, just checking out your blog! Love you.
Sounds very interesting. I enjoy books showing ways people deal with unresolved issues in their past and chances for making decisions over to decide if they are making the right one each time.
