i loved taking these pictures…we had fun!
sisters. {{{sigh}}}}….it makes me feel so warm and fuzzy to see sisters holding hands.
they brought these chairs with them…don't you LOVE them?! i was thinking to myself "must get cute chairs" the whole time.
to get some smiles we tried singing and silly faces…but finally dad pulled up the car and cranked veggie tales to the girls (and i think mom and dad were dancing too) success!
these were just on my porch. (no more itchy grass) can't you see the connection between these girls? a bond. love. they are blessed to have each other as they make this jouney together. this was my favorite.
kim and bruce…thank you. i laughed out loud so many times when working on these…they were so much fun. and thanks for really listening to my heart kim. Love your pics! Can you send me more info about your rates? my sweet bloggy friend meg, For so many reasons, thank you for sharing these beautiful photos. They are perfect. megan, these photos are just beautiful. you’ve really captured true joy. i love that. something about these pictures makes my heart warm. thank you. Amazing photos! I especially love the b&w’s and the ones of them in the pink chairs. I looooove the pink chairs in the grass, I want to get one for my little girl! These two sisters are adorable. Thank you for sharing, you made me smile and happier after a not so fun day. 🙂 wow – these brought tears to my eyes. very nice 🙂 I have a sister who is 2 years younger than me and she is my best friend ever…I am 49. Those pictures spoke to my heart! Oh, Meg, those are beautiful. You have such a gift! These are my most favorite of all the photos you’ve taken — I have a little bias, I guess, given that I’m mom to a girl with special needs. What I love, here is the celebration of both girls and it’s equal and full of joy and acceptance. And those crossed legs and chubby feet next to them are priceless. I wish that you could come out to Los Angeles and take photos of my family… Just beautiful! Such happiness and exuberance! I love these pictures! These are BEAUTIFUL… Megan, those are fabulous! And, yes, I love the chairs 🙂 Too cute! Simply lovely. Okay, it’s official. It finally happened. Wow, what sweet adorable girls! Love, love, love those dresses in the first pictures and love those chairs also, every little girl should have a pink chair! Hope your enjoying a quieter house, I know I am! Love my kids but love when they go back to school also!! I was sorry to see the post about the run in Craig had with the deer, bummer:( Glad he wasn’t hurt or the vehicle damaged any worse than it was! Awesome photos!! I so want to take photos like you! I have a brother with downs and they are the most happiest kids! I love these pictures… i absolutely love the first one of them on the steps. you did a great job! so someday i want you to post about how you get all these customers? do you have a business or is this just for fun? because that’s a LOT of photo taking for fun. but i’m not seeing anything on your sight about having a business… i absolutely love the first one of them on the steps. you did a great job! so someday i want you to post about how you get all these customers? do you have a business or is this just for fun? because that’s a LOT of photo taking for fun. but i’m not seeing anything on your sight about having a business… I love these pics! I have three boys, my youngest has Downs’ so I’m partial to this set of pictures! I wish I lived in Kansas so you could photograph my boys- or you lived in Minnesota! By the way, great blog! SO sweet! As a mom of two girls, just seeing sisters together totally melts my heart and these two are total sweethearts! OH MY GOSH!!! I love sister pictures and those girls are beautiful. what sweet sisters… So precious! Love, love that kiss photo & the feet! So sweet, looks like a great shoot! Love, love the pink chairs! I don’t think I’ve ever commented but love, love, love your blog! All of your pics are wonderful, but I think this set may be my new favorite. These sisters are precious! It’s obvious that they have a strong bond and the sisterly kiss is my absolute FAV! Great job as usual, Meg! I only wish you lived close to NJ and NYC so you could come take my family pictures – we are SO in need of some new ones! *sigh* Hugs, Trac~ :o) Beautiful pictures and beautiful girls! Did they tell you where the chairs came from? I SO need 1 of those! Hello! I emailed you back in July about setting up a photo session for my family. I am ready to schedule. =) Could you please send me a quick email? That sister kiss is just too much……L.O.V.E. I am simply joyed Thanks for such wonderful pictures 😀 Yep, the last one is definitely my fave too, and I’ve seen all of them! They are GREAT! These pics are amazing & so beautiful!!!! I love them & I got tears in my eyes when they were giving kisses.:))) They are perfect. I LOVE the ones on your steps. They are just so sweet and seem to really capture a peace and a bond between them. Makes my desire for my daughter to have a sister even stronger. 🙂 There are wonderful! I love those rolled up jeans and cute, pudgy toes! More than that I love the bond you captured! Beautiful. these are priceless! SO sweet!!!! i always wanted a sister lol Love these pictures. I cherish the pictures I have of my three girls when they were little like this. You have a gift and it is wonderful that you are sharing it with others!! sigh Gorgeous sisterly love! SWEET photos Meg. The pink chairs against the grass is a great contrast. I love their sisterly bond…precious:) These are beautiful! Megan: these are WONDERFUL! What a great way to start my day- a cup of coffee and a great blog with WONDERFUL new pics that made me smile even though I am dead tired from being up all night with a teething baby… made my day & its not even noon yet =0) beautiful photos meg. you captured their love for each other perfectly. they are adorable little girls!!
it's fun to blow bubbles after it rains because the bubbles stick to the ground for a while. and it's not so hot on your bare feet either.
and sidewalk chalk is so bright on wet cement.
annie asked me to take her picture with the umbrella…this is what i got accidentally. funny.
How do you blow bubbles? love your pink toes 🙂 Love the fun things you do with your kiddos….AND the pink toes!!! FUN! What great pictures. Check out my blog today. My daughter-in-law is starting to play around with photography. I am doing a Target giveaway in her honor! Great pictures as always…you can even make a rainy day look fun. I loved Annie’s miss matched flip flops today! (Remember the day we used to call them thongs?) She had so much fun in church. We played with the parachute – they were being swallowed by Jonah’s whale. Love the pictures!!! What a fun day:) this is good info to know thanks for sharing teehee 🙂 Loving the “umbrella” shot 🙂 too fun! I love huge bubbles.Your photos are wonderful. I have a monster bubble wand, although I haven’t had it out in a while. My 14-year-old just isn’t interested! i love bubbles! that looks like fun! The pics look great! this looks so fun. can i play? You’re like the best Mom ever! I hope my son never sees your blog…he’ll be SO jealous! you are such a creative mom. Your kids are lucky to have you. 🙂 Your kids are going to have great memories when they grow up! Great pics. The last one is my favorite. that was my end of the phone conversation. mr. craig bought a new (used) truck off craigslist today…heh heh…craigslist…ha. i haven't seen it. he was driving it home to me. we talked on the phone about our day…the kids…blah blah blah…bye, see you soon. the phone rang again five minutes later…. "i hit a deer" i couldn't believe it.
the deer made it (of course…) the truck was leaking lots of stuff making it unsafe to drive. so i packed up all the kids to drive to pick him up 25 minutes from town. we went for pizza and then to the drive-in movie. i was distracted. and crabby. what a a crazy thing to happen…he hadn't had it even three hours! i am so grateful craig was ok. i came outside and told scott what happened he froze and said "is dad ok?!" i said "yes…he's fine" but i was aware how easily it could've been so much worse. the look on scott's face was heartbreaking. he was scared. grateful. trucks are fixable…it will be fine. stupid deer. I should send you the picture of our car after Chad hit a COW!!! In the dark…. in the middle of nowhere Oklahoma..Thanksgiving night…..oh the nightmare! and now you know why we hunt them. way too many in our area – very dangerous. OMG I’m so sorry! Glad your Craig is okay I hope the damage in minimal! Oh good grief, that is an awful thing to happen, whichever way you look at it. There is never a good time for an accident, whatever the cause or the outcome. They seem to knock everyone sideways. Frankly I think you guys handled it extremely well – good grief you even turned it into an outing!!! I hope everyone in your family catches their balance soon. Glad he’s okay, but that really does suck. I feel your pain! OMG! What a funny (sort of) story. I love how you kept it all positve, and especially that you went out to eat and to the drive-in anyway. Once my mom and I were leaving to take my 2 daughters to the pumpkin patch…I was driving, and proceeded to back right into my mom’s car on the way out of the driveway! We went anyway and dealt w/ the damage later…I did this again to my best friend’s car when were leaving to go shopping one day. Same thing, we proceeded on our fun day of browsing and dealt w/ the damage later(both times the damage was to my car, in the same spot on the bumper!) Funny how kids put it all into perspective eh? 🙂 So glad everyone is OK. So glad he was ok! It could of been so much worse! Safety is of the Lord!! You can replace a car, but husbands are irreplaceable! Hopefully the insurance will cover it! I’m so glad Craig is OK. My daily drive to my school is through an area full of deer. I have only had one really close call in 23 years! wow. so glad he wasn’t driving a car!! and yeah, deers are pretty stupid. That is so disappointing…sorry that happened! Praise the LORD that Craig is ok. Imagining Scott’s face and hearing his very grown up, “is dad ok?” brought tears to my eyes. No child should ever be without a parent. I’m glad Craig is ok!! stupid deer. crazy. things like this just don’t happen in the oc! glad he is ok. We once got hit on the way home from the dealership. The van we bought was a replacement for another that got smashed by a tree. Luckily no one was hurt. I’m glad Craig is okay. There’s bad luck (damage to stuff that can be replaced), and there’s BAD luck. Good thing you and the kids were not with him. Oh no ! I’m so sorry but glad hubbys okay ! try and have a good week-end… Yip – trucks are fixable. Oh, I’m sorry! Those kind of phone calls are terrible as is the luck in hitting a dear with a brand-spanking new truck. Ouch! Love that your family turned it into an opportunity for pizza and a movie together:) glad everyone is ok for sure So glad he’s okay!! How scary. I hate those phone calls. wow! it can be a scary thing. we hit a deer on our way to pick up our oldest from school. it dented the hood of our van and there was blood everywhere. we didn’t stop because the deer ran off back into the woods, but when we got to isabella’s school, we saw that there was blood everywhere! i thank the Lord it didn’t break our windshield cause it could have been much worse. Praise God your hubby is ok. Wow that is super crazy. Glad your hubby is okay. What kind of luck is that. Looks like her got nice car. Deer are crazy and unpredictable that is for sure, L I am glad Craig is fine. We have deer around here everywhere. My best friend had her truck repaired from a minor fender bender with a tree in her woods. That same night she left for work and a deer hit her as she drove out of her driveway. $3,100 damages! She was fine, the deer ran off. But still the same day she had her truck repaired! Oh my gosh! That’s awful. I’m glad everyone’ ok, but man oh man…what are the chances of hitting a deer the same day your buy a new car?! Where do you go to a drive in? I’m glad tat is truck juice, not deer juice. that is awful that the deer would just jump out of no where and hit his truck! There doesnt that sound like a better story! Glad he is okay! glad he’s okay. sucks thought. stupid deer. This is the kinda stuff I go through. Murphy’s Law!! Whew! Glad that Craig was okay. (and the deer too) we crammed a bunch of fun into the last few summer days. the summer list had "go camping" and "tent camp"…my mistake. and funny because we don't really do the camping thing. not even in the yard…we don't have a fence, trains run all night long blowing their whistles, we have interesting people walk by all night long…we don't camp in the yard. so we set up camp in the living room!
sean built the tent with me…loving every second of it.
waffle was very nervous.
they made popcorn and watched "space chimps" way past bedtime. the boys didn't sleep there…but the girls did. the boys wanted their own beds! the girls stayed there all night.
the day before school we had to go to the mall…yes…all of us….without craig. and we survived. we stopped by craig's office to bring him an ice cream cone. we visited great grandma. and i did not even get a starbucks! (what is the matter with me?) that night we had a back-to-school dinner celebration (for them…not me….ok…it was for me)
make your own pizzas…
and parfaits for dessert! mmmmm….yummy.
after this…everyone took baths and we cuddled in bed reading books till everyone was fast asleep. NOT. ugh….i wish! everyone was so nervous and excited that they were WACK-O at bedtime and were still up at 10:30! there were spankings. there was yelling. blech. not how i wanted the night before school to go…crap! for awhile at bedtime i will be sitting on the couch outside their doors working on pictures on the laptop until they fall asleep. it's good for me and good for them to GET SOME SLEEP already! You made me laugh…and feel normal. Thanks. oh how i love to stop over here!! thank you for the belly laugh i just had, i needed it. your kids are so lucky 🙂 oh how i love to stop over here!! thank you for the belly laugh i just had, i needed it. your kids are so lucky 🙂 Its our last week before school starts.. and i feel like i have not made summer that fun… I’m trying to figure how to cram things in but at the same time I want to enjoy relaxation before the crazy schedule kicks in…love the tent in the house idea….. things going the way they did for you…well that is real life isn’t it….. as always love your posts for the fun, style and most of all the relatable realness. Have a fabulous week! I think you must be the funnest mom for your kids! I read your blog and you give me so many great ideas. Things I just forget to do like kicking back and doing bubbles in the yard or fun ideas like a shaving cream party. Thanks for the ideas to get to bedtime! i just love your blog! Just love you for your honesty and your photo skillz. Thanks! Okay – I just want to know…Where did you get those premade individual pizza discs? The kids would love to make their own pizzas. Don’t tell me that you made each of those?! you rock. inspite of things not going according to plan. you still rock. love those RED lampshades. HAVE TO TRY THAT!!! We do the tent in the livingroom and shockingly enough my kids STILL love it….aren’t kids funny..lol You’re real, you’re funny. You’re REAL FUNNY! 🙂 Thanks for your honesty – it’s good to hear bedtime doesn’t go smoothly at someone else’s house too! Meg, you’re an awesome mom…even if you did have yelling and spankings at bedtime! My first thought on the parfait picture was “Wow, that’s a lot of parfaits! Are they at a restaurant?” Then I counted…and then I realized I am only one parfait short of that. Life is good…parfaits make it better. Thank you for admitting the spankings. I’m always afraid the spanking police will show up at my door if I talk about it… I have to admit to feeling relief that your back to school night ended up a little nutty — otherwise, I’d wonder how could someone’s life be just so dang perfect! You crack me up. Typical of boys to wimp out to their beds! Glad the first part of the back to school celebration went so well, as for the bedtime bit – that was just to remind you why you’re so glad they were returning to school, right? Hope you get some time to do some sewing for yourself soon. Meredith xo. thats it, i want to move in Camping in the living room is such a great idea. Sooo funny. Dinner looked great and I LOVE the idea of a special dinner for the night before the first day of school. And the parfaits… yum. Sounds wonderful! hehehehhehee. cute. 🙂 I love your ideas of family fun ! I am taking notes… I LOVE LOVE LOVE how honest you are…hilarious!…the night-before-everyone’s-whacko part:-) Oh what fun! I loved the first day of school almost every year. My girls are too young for school but I am looking forward to these times! You’re a lucky mom and you seem to know it. Oh, we SO have the same bedtime thing going on over here too! We did the same thing for our oldest son’s birthday party about 3 years ago and then repeated it with cousins. The kids had a blast! Looks like yours had fun too. Tooo funny! The boys wanted their beds 🙂 We live on 30 acres…Connor, my 7 yr old has been DYING to camp out there….but, he finally decided it was “TOO LOUD” outside….WHEW, instead we camped in the playroom….with airconditioning and bathrooms right around the corner 🙂 I wonder how much longer we can get away with it being too loud 🙂 ?????? And to make you feel better…I am QUITE sure there will be yelling on Monday night for us 🙁 Have a great weekend girlie!!!!! a tent in the house i LOVE it!!!!! (i once knew a kid that had a tent in his room lol) Love that you tried having so much fun with them. And yes, lots of our fun night end not so fun either. And I also find sitting outside their rooms on the laptop is good for everyone 🙂 thank you for being normal. i always read your blog with a bit of jealousy so seriously…THANK YOU! Oh I love the camping in the living room!! What a fun time for all the kids!! Now are all five kids in school this year?? You must do home your:) Love the bubblegum machine on the table. Is that a polaroid inside your gumball machine? LOL LOL!! Could not believe that your kids all took baths, read books and cuddled until bedtime…..then read that you were totally joking! LOVE IT yay for the beginning of school!! unless of course, that beginning means your youngest goes 5 hours away to college. and the other one is just starting his second year of college. . . in a house. yikes on a stick. LOL I had to crack up at the NOT too. My sister fought to get her two vampires in bed too. Your family is ALWAYS doing something fun! I need you as my neighbor at the last. Meg, You have such a fun family!! I wish you were my Mom, hell I bet my daughter wishes you were her Mom! Ha, ha, ha! That was a lot like our night before school too. My son was up till 10:45, mom I need water, mom my leg hurts, I need medicine, my leg hurts water will help, will you run my knee, bed time story, I forgot to floss, etc., etc. I think “bedtime” lasted 2 1/2 hours. 🙂 No spankings, but I threatened to take the Wii away the next day. Reading your blog not only inspires me but reassures me that others are in the same boat and react the same way as I do in similar situations 😉 We have had nights like that, big plans, loads of fun, and then the mother of all meltdowns at bedtime… ah, gotta love those moments, fun times, fun times indeed. Too fun!!! (and funny!) You always make me smile!! OMG. That was so heartwarming and FUNNY. The no Starbucks. The yelling. Crap. Me, too, girlie. Me, too. Cheers! xoxo Those parfaits look delish. i love your honesty. it cracks me up. thanks for making me laugh. my kids went back to school today!
ahhhhhh…..the house is Q-U-I-E-T. there is a backyardigans marathon for annie on nick…thank you nick!!! on schedule for today… i have to workout…because…i do. lunch with a friend for me and for annie. post office. photo editing. laundry. a nap?! (oh i really hope so) it's so good.
new clothes for the first day. only talby needed new shoes…thankful for that.
five kids in four schools this year. crazy. they were all nervous this morning but didn't want to admit it. they have a rotating schedule for who gets to sit in the middle seat in the car. this year we are instituting a rotating schedule for who gets to pick the music each morning. oldest to youngest…monday through friday. talby chose U2 this morning. now…i am off to enjoy my big day. aw i loved taking first day of school pictures. & oh my lanta, lauren is one gorgeous girl Meg, Congratulations and enjoy your first week back! YAY for quiet houses. Just you and Annie again eh? Must be bliss after such a busy summer. Enjoy! Enjoy your day! Mine don’t start for another week or so and I’m ready to pull out my hair. New shoes… ugh. Don’t get me started. My eldest (son) going into his senior year is 6’6″ and wears a size 14. Poor guy, it’s so hard to find shoes for him. Your kids are all so beautiful. Great pics! adorable kiddos on their first day of school, peace and quiet for mom…ahhhhhh. can’t wait until it’s our turn! xo woo-hoo!!! it’s so liberating!!! i am right there with ya! well they sure are all smiles. looks like they are excited about school starting. hope they had a good day. lauren is just beautiful!!!! i love her top. Whoo Hoo!! Happy days!! Mine starts on Wednesday!! love talbys laces. i have the same shoes as lauren in white- they were at aldo for 60 something… target had them in several colors for maybe 15… everyone says, oh did u get those shoes at aldo? lol what a great idea about rotating the seats and music. my best friend has 4 kids (15,10,8, & 5) I will have to tell her about that GREAT idea! Wish I would have known about the backyardigans marathon. we gave up the dvr so we wont watch so much tv and now my daughter always misses it =( happy 1st day of freedom! Your family is so beautiful. So much joy on their faces. Have a wonderful day — you deserve it! Look how cute they all look – all dressed up and ready for school! A far cry from their fabulous summer holiday and yet they all look just as happy!!! I love those laces and will not be showing my kids them AT ALL!!! so.did you get that nap??????? Wow, school starts early for you guys. We don’t start till Sept 8. thankfully! Great pics – your kids are gorgeous. your kids are beautiful. i kinda wanna plant a big one on sean’s cheek! 😉 I want lauren’s shoes! Have you seen the Staples commercial with the dad bouncing for joy at Staples with “The Most Wonderful Time of the Year” playing in the background? As a teacher I can say I feel more like the sad pouting kids- why does summer end sooooo quickly! 🙂 Here is the commercial if you haven’t seen it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mPIIMbG9R4w in so many ways i wish micah wouldn’t admit his nervousness…it’s heartbreaking when he does! Fantastic photos as always! Ah – the obligatory first day of school pictures – I totally remember my Mom doing that. It seems like August is a really early time to start school! Maybe it is a Kansas thing? Kids here in Oregon start after labor day. Interesting… You’re kids are georgous! Wow. I am so jealous! The kids look amazing — so big. I can’t wait until all of mine are school-bound. I just know I’m gonna feel brand new. LOL Cheers! You deserve it. xoxo Kids went back today too. No tears here!! LOVED having the house to myself all afternoon, took a nap and left all chores undone. Don’t think that will work all year….. The kids are so cute! I had to go back to school today for teacher inservice! Our students don’t return until Aug. 24! I wasn’t ready, but now that I’ve been there, I guess I feel more ready! Wow, I can’t believe so many of you are starting school already!?! My kids don’t go back until September 3rd! Carter started today, too. I still have 2 little ones at home, but it does seem to help with the chaos. 3rd grade for us……a big step! Happy quiet day!! Lauren looks way cooler than I ever do! What a gorgeous bunch – are you sure you won’t have any more…?! The world needs good genes! I needed to finish my comment but had to take Morgan to cheer practice. Get this — Morgan’s (natzi) principal stands in the middle of the hallway with a ruler and if they have a shirt top that is less than 3 inches across on the shoulder they have to wear a shirt over or the parent is called to bring a different shirt. AND the worst of it is she’s a middle school cheerleader and they can’t wear their uniforms to school on game day — too short!! What’s this world coming too!! Awww, the kids look beautiful, and funky shoes!! Congratulations! I hope you did the Risky Business dance around the house in your underwear! lauren looks super cool…sweet shoes! Everyone looks ready! We had 3 of ours start last Friday, and the ‘baby’ starts preK this coming Monday (then, I will truly be doing the ‘happy’ dance). Your hubs better start cleaning his shotgun to keep the boys away… Lauren is beautiful. My hubby dreads the day our daughters become young women. He has already carved a “no dating” policy in stone. Boys will only be allowed visit with our daughters at our home… and watch him clean his shotgun and whatnot. 😉 That is so awesome!! Those days are years ahead of me but I am already looking forward to them! Lauren is absolutely stunning!!! im so Jelous! 🙂 Yay for you – your family it beautiful… 5 kids – wow… and I thought 4 was heaps! Ours started Monday & so far so good! Great pictures! Lauren looks so pretty, her top is cute! Talby looks more tween now than “kid”, funny how much kids can change in such a short time. Enjoy your day! I hope it was a great first day 🙂 wow…i have 3 in 3 schools…and one more to go. i love talby’s new shoes!!! Oh my! Lauren has blossomed over the summer! She’s so beautiful, goodness that dark skin and shiny curly hair, I’m so jealous! I hope you have a great day alone and I hope your kids have a good first day back to school. The kids look great and ready for school!! They have grown up a lot since we were there last Christmas. But Seriously … can Lauren wear that top to school??? That would be OUTLAWED here for sure!! You are so lucky! Your kids have grown so much since we’ve seen them. My kids start on the 19th. Kristina is going to be in first grade so this is my first year with everyone in school all day! Woo hoo! mine start next tuesday, my lil’ man will be in kindergarten & I will be all alone {sniff} that Talby sure has good taste in music! (and shoes!) You are sooooooooooo LUCKY!!! My girls don’t go back until after labor day! (Still in preschool, but I am COUNTING the days!) Enjoy your freedom and your peace and quiet! 🙂 Hooray for you! Seeing Lauren in her cute new clothes makes me nostalgic for teenagehood again. You are so LUCKY!!! Mine don’t go back until the 24th! Mine start next Tuesday!!! I was reading around on FB this morning….about all the tears that were shed….thinking WHAT is wrong with me????? Why don’t I cry??? Thanks for making me feel okay about not crying =) (I do hope you get that nap!!!!!!) It seems like Lauren has really blossomed over the summer. Hopefully on the “maturity spectrum” as well 😉 I bet you are relieved! They all look great! It’s Tuesday for us. Pretty soon I’m going to have to have a schedule for the front seat. I was completely stressing about 3 schools for 3 kids so now I know some do have it worse than me! Woo hoo for you!! Wow! School already? We’re still 3 weeks away here 🙂 |

Hillary - OK, I only got to watch the SNL of HSM (‘Cause I’ll abbreviate if you let me) and it owned me. Steaming Walt Disney and the musical theater basketball league? So good.
Lisa K in FL - If I wanted to schedule a photo shoot with The Most Wonderfully Talented You, which I would, then you would have to bring your fun, beautiful family to Florida, which you should. See you soon, then?
🙂

That skit is hilarious.

My go-to when I am out of ideas is Make your own burritos. Plop all the toppings on the table and have everyone help themselves.
Penny - I think we will be having grilled brats and corn on the cob and some fresh peaches for dessert.
Tammi - I have an easy Ck pot pie recipe that I have altered a tad from Paula Deen.
2 cups cooked ck breast-chopped
1/2 c sliced carrots (use the canned or frozen)
1/2 c frozen green peas
1 can crm of ck soup
1 c chicken broth
salt and pepper to taste
1 c milk
1/2 stick melted butter
Preheat oven to 350. In a greased 2 qt casserole layer the chicken, carrots and peas.
Mix the soup, broth and salt and pepper-pour this over the layers.
Stir together bisquick and milk-pour over casserole. Drizzle butter over top. Bake until golden brown and bubbly, about 35-45 min.
**NOTE: I made it the other day and didnt have peas, so I used canned kernal corn, and I also forgot the broth and it was really good!! LOL
Enjoy (I am sure you will have to double the recipe for all your kiddos!!)
