Chicken Spaghetti...it's what's for dinner!

First of all, I apologize for any spelling errors as I'm typing this with one hand and nursing Mac with the other. Ya gotta do what ya gotta do to blog around here. I'm getting to be quite the one handed typer, by the way.

Anyway, this past week I've been doing some research on freezer meals. I came upon this one, Chicken Spaghetti, on a random blog. As I was reading, I started thinking it sounded awfully familiar when I realized that it's in one of my newer cookbooks! The cookbook is called "The Pioneer Woman." She's now on the Food Network and has some AWESOME meals in her cookbook and on her website. It's a lot of meat/comfort food, which I LOVE.

I was making some freezer meals for a friend, so I decided to double this one and make some for us too. Doubled, it made four 8x8 pans full. I put three in the freezer, and went ahead and baked one for us for dinner. One of Kieth's teacher friends was over and between the four of us, we at the WHOLE THING. Needless to say, it was GOOD! That's when I decided this recipe was meant to be shared.

Instead of typing out the whole thing. I thought I'd just post the website. It has all the pictures, which I also love, so you can follow along visually as well as reading along. I hope you all enjoy!

Mac's growing!

Today, Holly is at Papa Rich and Grandma Katie's house. That leaves Kieth, Mac and I to pretty much do as we please. I needed to run to the bank in Kellogg so I decided to stop by and visit my friends/co-workers at the hospital. It's been a while (since Mac was 10 days old) since Mac has been weighed so I decided to swing through the ER on my way out of the hospital and put him on the baby scale they have there. He now weighs over 9lbs, coming in at 9 lbs, 2 oz! I couldn't believe it! I thought he was around 8 1/2 so I was surprised. He's still wearing newborn clothing, but he's been eating like crazy lately so I should have know! Yesterday he at 4 times in almost as many hours and I thought maybe my body wasn't producing enough milk. But, he slept pretty well last night, at several times this morning, had a long sleepy period like usual, then ate like crazy again this evening. If he keeps this up, he's going to be a little tank! He'll be a month old tomorrow. I can't believe it's been that long already! Only 8 more weeks until I have to return to work. :(

 This is the first smile we caught on camera! 

 Another big smile!

...and one of Holly just for fun. :) She found Kieth's shoes on the front steps and came clomping out in them!
