So as some of you know I've been posting some of my writing on the is cool website called hitRECord.org
Well today someone actually said they liked some of my work. This made me over the moon. So excited. No one has ever said that they have liked my work before. I mean I'm loving doing this blog but no one ever comments on it, so I don't know if you guys like it or not. I know I should probably post more pictures, but I tend to post on the go so it's a little hard to post pictures all the time.
But I can't believe it someone actually liked my work. In fact two people liked my work. Two different people said that they liked my work. They both liked the same piece of work that I have posted. I've posted a few items on the site, admittedly I feel that out of it is not my best work, and they could be worked on some more but that is part of the site for you to post your work on the site and let other people either remix it by adding or doing something with it or by getting some inspiration from it.

Semi famous.
So I'm at work yesterday doing the inventory which has to be done every month and this film crew walk in my store. Which you know totally out of the normal for me.
Well turns out they are a new crew and wanted to film a couple shopping in my store who are baby shopping. I don't know all the details of the new story but, it made a change from the normal. The news story probably won't see the light of day, but it was kind of interesting to say the least.

Slow cooker chicken and dressing
This is another one of my families favorites slow cooker recipes. For this recipe you will need:
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
Salt and black pepper to season the chicken
4 slices of Swiss cheese
1 can of chicken broth
2 cans of cream of mushroom soup, (can use cream chicken or celery).
3 cups packaged stuffing mix.
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, melted
Place the chicken breast in the slow cooker. Season each breast with salt and pepper.
Top each chicken breast with a slice of Swiss cheese. Add the broth and the canned soup. Sprinkle the stuffing mix on top and then pour on the melted butter.
Cover and cook on LOW 6-8 hours HIGH 3-4 hours.
As is typical fashion for me. I found that 3 cups of stuffing mix is about one and a half packets of stuffing mix. So I added 2 boxes of stuffing mix and then added a second can of chicken broth.

Other writing project.
Having had some feedback about the other writing project that I'm working on, I have some ideas on how to continue, so hoping that I might be able to get over my writers block.
Now just need to sit down and work on it. I don't want to go into details of what it is I'm working one just yet as it's still to new in development. But I'm hoping it works.
I'm still cooking a ton of great food. Will share more recipes when I get a chance. And still studying a lot of Wicca. Still working a few Wiccan related posts. Want to make sure the information I give is correct. The whole Wiccan rede thing. As I'm still learning I would hate it think that any Wiccan related information I've given would give harm to anyone. So I take my time in planning all posts relating to that subject.
Otherwise things are going well for me. Hope you are all well out there in the world,
Blessed be.

Writers block
As a writer, if you can even call me that. I try my hand at writing is the best way to put it. There is nothing worse than writers block.
One of the projects that I'm working on is giving me a bit of block. I know where I want to go with the story but can't seem to get past one point in.
Thing is I never would have thought that it would effect other writing projects of mine. I mean I'm currently finding it hard to think of some posts to write for my blog and the other writing projects I'm trying to do are just taking a back sit. I just can't seem to get over this one point and it's sort of bugging me.
So I apologize, and please bear with me on the blog posts while I try to sort out this writers block that is going on.

Update on running
So as you guys know I started running again. I'm currently trying to work my through the couch to 5k program that I use.
Well I'm currently on week 4. And I have to say this time working my through the program I'm actually finding it a little hard. I'm struggling a bit to get through week 3 and week 4 is in a way kicking my butt. I'm finding it hard to believe I ran a half marathon in September. But as is life if you don't practice your skills you lose your ability to do them as well as you could. And my running is the same.
I'll keep at it and I will get back to half marathon status again. I'm thinking of trying to do another half this year but so many to chose from I can't decide which one to do.

Group 42 week one results
So in an earlier post I said I was thinking about starting up this group 42 fitness idea again. Well I did and I did really well, until the weekend and well, it all sort of fell apart.
My total points for the week are 36. I went over my calories Friday and Saturday due to wanting to have a few alcoholic drinks, and Sunday was a complete disaster but I hold the champion football games and need for pizza during football and the reason. I also didn't get my water or go for a run on Sunday. I will try better his week.
Maybe one week I'll get a perfect 42

Slow cooker chicken mushroom Alfredo
Since I moved to the states I've always had a small love for the slow cooker. My problem is I've never been a big fan of soups. So finding a hit recipe for the slow cooker that is not a soup is a win for me.
Today I'm doing Chicken mushroom Alfredo in the slow cooker. It's a simple recipe and smells amazing. And tastes it to. So here is the recipe.
1 1/2 lbs chicken breasts. (I used 2 and that worked out about just right)
2 packages of cretinism mushrooms (I cut mine into long quarters)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
2 packages of cream cheese (8oz size)
2 sticks of butter
1 1/2 cups of Parmesan cheese
1 1/2 cups milk
Pasta one box of.
Spray the crock pot with non stick spray. Cut the chicken into strips and then add to the crock pot in a single layer. Place the mushrooms evenly over the chicken and then season with salt, pepper and the garlic powder.
In a medium sized saucepan place the cream cheese, butter, Parmesan cheese and milk, stir together over medium heat. Whisk the sauce continuously until smooth and heated through.
Pour the sauce mixture over the chicken and mushrooms, pushing down any mushrooms that float to the top. Cover and cook on LOW 4-5 hours.
When ready to serve cook the pasta according to the instructions on the box. Either spoon desired amount of sauce on top of pasta or you can add the pasta to the slow core and mix covering the pasta in sauce.
If wanted you can serve with extra Parmesan cheese.
Now my family loved this. And we can't wait to do this again. But there are some changes that I will make. For expat I will add more garlic powder at the beginning. I would also cut down the butter to maybe one stick. But I haven't tried these adjustments out yet so I don't know how different it will make.
