In my effort to try a new recipe every week, I came across this Gem. Low Calorie, easy and oh so yummy.

2 cups of shredded Cheese (I used Mexican reduced fat)

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees
1. Boil Chicken and cut into large bite sized chunks (do not overcook)
2. Steam broccoli
3. Mix soup and milk  
4. Layer broccoli, chicken, soup mixture and cheese in a casserole dish
5. Sprinkle bread crumbs on top
6. Heat in a 350 degree oven for about 20-30 minutes or until bubbly (I did the last few minutes on broil to make the bread crumbs crispy)

Under $20 Craft Project

After my daughter moved into her own apartment closer to college, I was left with a bedroom and bathroom full of teenage "stuff". I decided to do a one day makeover and turn it into a guest room. Since I needed something to fill up the wall over the bed, I did this easy craft project for under $20 and it took me less then an hour. 

I started with an old piece of scrolled iron, some cork tiles, scrap book paper and some modge podge...

 

Here is the finished project!

 Here are the before and afters...

Step three....
