Recipe - Chicken Tetrazinni

Last weekend our church choir had a practice/get together and we enjoyed a wonderful lunch together. I made a chicken tetrazinni dish and a few wanted the recipe. I'm taking the easy way and posting it here!

Chicken Tetrazinni

1 whole chicken
chopped onion
chopped bell pepper
celery - stalk and leaf top
1 can cream of chicken soup
1 small jar red peppers (pimentos)
1 can sliced water chestnuts
spaghetti
cheddar cheese
bread crumbs
melted butter
bay leaves

I do this dish over the course of two days.

In a large pot, fill with water, add salt and 2 or 3 bay leaves, chopped onion and the celery tops (leaf part). Boil the whole chicken until it is tender enough to fall off the bone. I make this the night before and put the whole pot in the refrigerator overnight.

The next day, heat the pot to warm, remove the chicken but save the broth. Debone the chicken and set aside. Strain the broth. Take 1 to 2 cups of the broth and set aside. Boil spaghetti in the pot of broth. While this is going, boil in the set aside broth chopped onion, peppers and celery. In a large bowl, mix soup with 1/2 can water or milk, pimentos, water chestnuts and cheese to taste. Add broth with /onion,pepper to the bowl. Add chicken and cooked spaghetti. Mix well. In a sauce pan, melt butter and mix bread crumbs to toast. Place chicken/spaghetti in baking pan, top with bread crumb mixture and bake for about 30 minutes or until bubbly and top is browned.

Sometimes We Score, Sometimes We Block

Our family is in the midst of little league soccer season. My youngest son is playing and his enthusiasm is contagious. He is pretty good at the sport, but what makes it so great is that he loves it! He counts the days until the next game or practice. He loves his coach and teammates. He has moved up an age level this year and the players are working more like team, passing to each other and watching out for each other during play. During the last game, my son scored two goals, they were the only goals of the game. In today's game the team scored eight goals. My son came up afterwards to me and said, "I didn't score today, but I blocked". What a powerful truth those words can hold. In life, sometimes we score, sometimes we block. Sometimes we do great things, we excel, we achieve, we meet our goal - we score! There are also times we see the needs of others, sometimes they are sad or hurting, we block their hits. We look out for them so they can score. We...

Word Filled Wednesday – Act Justly

He has shown you, O man, what is good;       And what does the LORD require of you                But to do justly, To love mercy,       And to walk humbly with your God?    Micah 6:8 Sometimes we struggle so hard with the question “What does God want us to do and be?”  This verse is a simple yet powerful reminder of some simple things that God requires of us.  Act and do justly, love mercy and walk humbly before God.  There are numerous opportunities each day to do justly, to do the right thing or to make the right choice.  We love mercy when we show kindness or mercy oftentimes to those who do not deserve it.  Walking humbly before God is acknowledging He alone is God.  He is the I AM – no one else is.  When we give Him the glory He is worthy of, it will humble our heart before Him....
