Kids Parties: Ladybug Themed Ideas

April 30, 2014 by Rhonda Gales

Planning a Ladybug Party? Try these adorable ideas that we used for Miss Muffin’s first birthday. The kids will love them, and you will be the best party planner ever. We made chicken salad the night before and the yummy ladybug crackers about an hour before the party. There’s plenty of chicken salad left over from my recipe below to make regular sandwiches for the adults and for you to make sandwich later after an exhausting day. Here’s what you will need:

Ritz crackers
Grape tomatoes
small black olives
chicken salad or cream cheese

Spread cream cheese or chicken salad on each Ritz cracker. Place 2 slices of the cherry tomatoes face down to form the wings. Place a tooth pick through the olive and stick through the chicken salad to form the head.

The bug mobile was a bug hit. No, the last bug is not a a typo. It was truly buggy. We transformed the yellow school bus with ladybug wings from a Halloween costume and eye lashes that were made for Volkswagen. As you can see, the kids couldn’t wait to take a ride.

We had this adorable cake made, and it was a perfect center piece for the food table. We added ladybug balloons, red and black table clothes and red and black paper products from the dollar store. Use your imagination, the possibilities are endless.

Chicken And Noodles Recipe

January 18, 2012 by Rhonda Gales

Looking for an easy recipe for a cold winter night? I love to whip up a pot of chicken and noodles. This recipe belonged to my now deceased Mother In Law, so each bite warms my heart and soul. It’s easy and hearty. I serve it with warm rolls, yum. I’ve switched to the No Yolk noodles for this recipe. It doesn’t change the taste, and the No Yolk noodles are 99% fat free and no cholesterol.

3 – 4 chicken thighs
3 – 4 chicken legs
4 – 5 potatoes cubed
1 package of No Yolks noodles
1 large (49 oz.) can of Swanson Chicken Broth

Cook chicken in just enough water to cover it until it falls from the bone. (You should check the water occasionally). Remove the chicken from water and cool. While chicken is cooling, add the cubed potatoes to the water and cook until tender. You can add some of the broth if needed. Remove the skin and bones from the chicken and shred. Add the chicken and more of the broth to the potatoes. Season with your favorite seasoning; mine is Lawry’s Season Salt and pepper. Simmer 15 – 20 minutes. Add noodles and remaining broth and simmer until the noodles are done. Enjoy!

Chicken and Bacon Wraps – Holiday Appetizers

December 25, 2009 by Rhonda Gales

Chicken and Bacon Wraps

Boneless chicken tenders
Maple Brown Bacon or Plain Bacon
Brown Sugar

Cut chicken tenders in half. Cut and wrap a piece of bacon around each piece and insert a decorative tooth pick to hold it together. If you use plain bacon, sprinke appetizers with brown sugar once you remove them from the oven. Bake at 350 for 30 minutes or until bacon is crisp. Place on decorative plate. Make plenty they will go fast.
