Thankful . . .

On this Thanksgiving Day, I am grateful and thankful for the loving family that surrounds me, for the family that is divided by many miles, and for all the friendships that envelope me.  Thank you Lord for all the good you bring to my life everyday. 

Wishing you all a beautiful Thanksgiving Day with your treasured family and friends. 

Did you say comfort food???

So, when my son asked for a warm and stick to the gills dinner on Sunday (after spending the day at Century Link Stadium watching the Seahawks go after the Jets - they won convincingly, Seahawks that is) I first thought soup.  That didn't sound good though, so he piped up and said Chicken Mac n' Cheese.  Okay then!  I went to my volumes of recipes to search for the delicious recipe that I had taken off my friend Lissa's website, http://keepitsimplekeepitfresh.blogspot.com/.  Lissa is the queen of gluten free.  I will tell you that I've made this recipe both ways, gluten free and not.  If you have a chance, pop over to her website.  You'll love what she's up to.

I always double this recipe, but I'll give you the measurements for a single recipe.  (serves 4)

1 pkg. gluten free penne pasta/or regular penne pasta
2 chicken breasts diced
2/3 c. milk (2% is fine)
4 oz. velvetta - as Lissa says, just trust me :)
1/2 c. shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 c. monterey jack cheese (don't worry about adding too much)
1/8 t. ground cayenne pepper
1/8 t. ground black pepper
1/4 c. diced roasted pepper
2 T. gluten free breadcrumbs (I used Panko crumbs - worked out great)
2 T. Parmesan cheese
1/4 t. finely minced parsley

Cook the pasta in a large pot according to package directions.

Cook the diced chicken in hot olive oil on the stove in a large pan (I use my dutch oven so I can toss it into the oven at the end).  Season with 1 T. onion flakes, 1 t. garlic powder, 1 t. oregano, 1 t. chili powder, and 1/2 - 1 t. crushed red pepper flakes.  Stir until cooked through.

Combine milk, velveeta, cheddar cheese, jack cheese, cayenne pepper, and black pepper in a small saucepan and heat for about 10 minutes until cheese is melted and sauce is smooth.

Drain the pasta and pour into the pan with the cooked chicken.  Add the roasted red pepper.  Pour the cheese sauce over the top and toss to coat.

Combine the breadcrumbs, parmesan, and parsley in a small bowl.  Mix thoroughly.

Pour pasta into a casserole dish and sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture over the top.  Broil for 5-10 minutes until the breadcrumbs are golden. 

So, there you go.  I hope you love it as much as Kellan does.  bon appetit!

A helping hand

 

What a week it's been here at the Tippy Stockton Studios.  I had planned to debut my Holiday line on the site this week, but with the Hurricane slamming into the East Coast, I had more important things on my mind.  I needed to know that my family was okay.  When my Mom and Dad moved out of New York in 1969, we left behind every living relative on the East Coast.  We have family in almost all of the eastern states including New York, New Jersey, Maryland, Delaware, Pennsylvania, Conneticut, and New Hampshire.  So when the storm came ashore, I held my breath that everyone would be okay.  Thankfully, everyone is fine physically, but the affects of the storm will linger for many weeks, months and perhaps years ahead. 

So WHAT CAN I DO . . . as a small business owner, I've decided that I want to give back.  With Thanksgiving just weeks away, what better way to be thankful for what I have by giving to those less fortunate than me.  For those who lost a beloved family member, for those whose home is destroyed, and for those without basic utilities . . . sending $$ will bring some solace to those suffering.  Why the RED CROSS???  Well, in the wake of the 9/11 attacks, the American Red Cross rushed into provide help and assistance to those whose family members were taken that day, including mine.  The Red Cross contacted me to see if I needed assistance to travel back to NYC to be with my family at the funeral for my cousin.  While I personally didn't need assistance, they were there for countless others who did. 

So, for month of NOVEMBER, $20 for the sale of EVERY Home Necklace will be donated to the Red Cross.  It's the least I can do.  I have many states available including the following: 

Illinois: (5)
Indiana: (1)
Oregon: (2)
Iowa: (2)
Ohio: (12)
Georgia: (1)
New Hampshire: (4)
Wisconsin: (1)
California: (5)

Texas: (4)
Michigan: (3)
Maryland: (10)
New York: (2)
New York Worlds Fair: (2)
Washington: (1)
North Carolina: (2)
Pennsylvania: (2)

 

I'm always on the hunt for other states too, so check with me via e-mail @ tippystockton@aol.com and I'll let you know if I have your State. 

With help from the government and the will and heart of people on the East Coast, those shores and beaches will be restored.  Having just visited in September, the beaches on the East Coast are some of the most beautiful beaches I've ever visited. 

Thank you for your help!  God Bless America.
