Chicken Cordon Bleu Casserole with a dash of Glitter

So, I guess I'm an awful blogger, because it's been a while! Sorry about that. Sometimes life gets in the way. I promise to try and be more proactive on here.

Book News: My cover isn't ready quite yet, but I promise as soon as it is I'm uploading that baby to KDP and it will be available!

For this blog, I thought I'd share one of my very favorite recipes. Chicken Cordon Bleu Casserole. My husband LOVES it. I seriously thought he might lick his plate the first time I cooked it. It's very, very good, but it is also a pretty heavy meal. I found it on Pinterest (of course), so I can't take credit for creating this masterpiece myself.

Ingredients

2 cups cooked, cubed chicken
1 ham steak, cubed
2 cups cooked white rice
2 cans cream of chicken soup
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup sour cream
6 slices Provolone cheese
about 20 -25 crackers
dash of Paprika
dash of Garlic Powder

Directions

Pre-heat over to 350. Spread cooked white rice on the bottom of a 9x13 pan. On top of the rice, spread the cooked chicken pieces. Lay out the slices of cheese in two rows of three. Spread the cubed ham on top of the cheese. In a bowl, mix soup, sour cream, and milk until smooth. Pour/spread this on top of the ham. On a plate, crush up the saltine crackers, then sprinkle with Paprika and Garlic Powder. Top off the casserole with this.

Pop it in the oven for 40-45 minutes. Voila. A yummy dinner. A salad would make a great side, but we rarely have stuff to make salad in the house, so we usually don't eat anything with it.

Now for the side of glitter. I decided not to write a full review of the DWTS premier, since the new episode is you know, only a little more than 48 hours from now. But I thought I'd bullet point my main thoughts.

* Kellie Pickler was AWESOME. As much as I hate to root for the Hough, it looks like I won't be able to help it this season.

*I liked Lisa Vanderpump and thought she was funny, but Gleb skeeved me out a little. I can't put my finger on why.

*Andy Dick was much better than I expected, but I still don't care for him.

*Wynonna seemed very heavy on her feet. That woman has some courage though. She was out there trying her best and seemed to have a lot of fun. I liked seeing her mother and sister in the audience. I've always loved Ashley Judd. Some of her movies are my absolute favorites.

*I missed Aly Raisman and Sean Lowe b/c my TV fritzed. Couldn't care less about Sean, but I was bummed I missed Aly and Mark.

*Zendaya was incredible too, but her being 16 still turns me off a little bit.

*I couldn't believe how lost DL seemed. I cracked up at Cheryl dancing to Apple Bottom Jeans though.

*Karina, I love, love, love you, and you are still my favorite pro. But I am not a fan of Jacoby. He still seems cocky to me.

So Kellie was by far my favorite, and she is who I voted for. We'll see what happens this week. I'll try and write a proper review for you DWTS fans out there.
