This is a recipe that a friend of ours made for us and it was so yummy! And again, you probably usually have all the ingredients on hand!
6 chicken breasts
1 block cubed cream cheese
2 sticks of cubed butter
1 packet dry italian dressing mix
Place chicken in crockpot. And then add remaining ingredients! Now that is what I call fast and easy! Cook on high for 6-7 hours if chicken is frozen or 5 hours on low if chicken is thawed! It is so good! When it is done you can shread up the chicken and serve it over mashed potatoes which is our favorite way or just eat it plain! Whichever you prefer!

By the way.....I am not very good at this recipe blog thing...I thought the idea was for EVERYONE to post recipes!!!haha:) feel free whenever you want!!
1 can 14.5 oz reduced-sodium chicken broth
1 cup water
2 pkg. refrigerated tortellini(9 oz. packages)
(I found a good tortellini in the frozen section at Wal-mart...I think it was only $2.87 whereas the well-known one in the refrigerated section is like $6 or $7.)
4 oz. cream cheese cubed
1 cup frozen peas
3/4 cup italian style shredded cheese
6 slices bacon, cooked, drained, and crumbled
Pour broth and water into saucepan and bring to a boil on medium high heat. Add tortellini. Reduce heat to medium-low;cover. Simmer for 8-9 minutes until tortellini is tender. Do not drain. Add cream cheese and peas; stir. Heat for 2-3 minutes or until cream cheese is completely melted stirring occassionally. Stir in shredded cheese and bacon.
I made homemade breadsticks and caesar salad to go with the alfredo and then you have a complete Italian feast! Yummy!

Easy Caramels!
![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIdSoUULbsNLK7wriRcGaIIhffot7otNUJmMOEXQJpA1hoSzrrA1DQICvbnHJE333-sQ8zYMduSjw_X7IPg6zCSEH_8riDqDwHzXm2KgYX-1lBuHwnnT2iswyvOGxUetyX8oRWoFpXfZet/s400/DSCN0891.jpg)
1/2 c. butter melted
1/2 c. corn syrup
1/2 c. sugar
1/2 c. brown sugar
1/2 c. sweetened condensed milk
Mix all ingredients together in a microwave safe bowl and microwave for 6 1/2-7 minutes. (My microwave cooks fast so I do 6 1/2 minutes...its just trial and error) As soon as it is done pour into a 8x8 pan that has been sprayed with cooking spray. It will be REALLY hot and boiling, but you have to pour it right away. Cool for 10 minutes at room temp. Then put in the refrigerator for another 30-35 minutes. Cut into dice size squares and then roll into wax paper!
