We tried this new casserole earlier this week. It was really good and would be perfect for a cold winter's day...which lucky for us would NOT be this weekend! The weather looks gorgeous. :)
1 package of refrigerated pie crust (2 crusts)
1 jar (16 oz) salsa
1 can (10 3/4 oz) Cream of Chicken Soup
1 cup of sour cream
2 cups shredded cheese
1 package (24 oz) frozen corn
2 cans (9.75 oz each) canned chicken breast, drained (such as Swanson brand)
1 can (15 oz) black beans, rinsed and drained
Heat oven to 400. Let pie crusts sit at room temp for about 15 minutes.
Stir all ingredients (except crusts) together in a large bowl. Spoon into a 9x13 pan.
Unfold the pie crusts and lay them on a floured surface, overlapping about 3 inches in the center. Press the seam together to seal. Roll the crusts into a rectangle and lay over the chicken mixture. Trim any excess off. Cut several slits in the crust.
Back for 40 minutes.
We both really liked it! Gavin...not so much....but if I made it with beef instead of chicken, I bet he would have liked it, too. :) For the future, we'd probably cut the recipe in half since it made so much for just the two of us.
Enjoy!

Thankful Thursday
November is the month to give thanks! So, today I'm just going to ramble a bit. I have so many things, big and little, to be thankful for...
Thank you, Jarrod, for buying a new camera for us. I can't wait to learn how to use it and I promise I'll take amazing pictures to blow you away! Thank you, Megan, for being there to help Tyler and Briana with their homework. I know Mom and Dad appreciate it, and I am grateful you're there with them. Thank you, Jackie, for all the cute clothes you've sent us for Gavin. He's bound to stay warm this winter! Thank you, LL Bean, for the amazing flannel sheets we have on our bed. I've slept so well this week. :) Thank you, friends, for still calling, emailing, and sending me pictures even though I'm so far away from you now. I'm glad you're still keeping me "in the loop." I especially love hearing all the crazy stories from Shaw. Thank you, Gavin, for snuggling with me before bed. I love when you lay your head on my shoulder while I sing to you and how you give mommy and daddy lots of kisses before we lay you down. It's one of my favorite times of the day. Thank you, Shirley, for letting Gavin crawl all over you now. I know he bugs you, but he loves you so much. Thank you, Tastefully Simple, for the delicious Awesome Amaretto Cocoa mix. It makes me so happy to drink a mug in the morning. Thank you, Jillian Michaels and Exercise TV, for getting my butt in gear. I really needed it! Thank you, Erin, for watching Gavin for me tomorrow night. I'm really excited about this party and am glad you could help us out. Thank you, Strong Museum, for giving us a fun place to place on cold days like today....
Now, off to the museum. Happy Thursday, everyone!

Lovin' some chocolate pie!
Jarrod always has a tendency to bring home some delicious and extremely unhealthy dessert from Sam's just as I'm getting back into my Biggest Loser routine. (Of course, I eat it anyway! Who wastes dessert???) This past weekend, it was Chocolate Dream Pie...a yummy pie crust, with a chocolate pudding-like filling, whipped frosting and chocolate shavings. Needless to say, we all loved it, including Gav. 
This a great picture of his "Cheese!" face. :)
