WEDNESDAY'S SUMMER SUPPERS

When I took some cooking classes, the chef stuck his nose up in the air when he announced that Southern women thought cooking was mixing a can of soup with anything and creating a dinner. Definitely-A FOOD SNOB! He needs to just get over it-some of those soup concoctions are quite delicious. Tonight's recipe is one of those easy-but yummy dinners. I make this about once a quarter and we enjoy it every time.

RITZY CHICKEN

1 1/2 Roll Ritz Crackers

1 stick butter(I am a snob about this-I always use REAL butter-no substitute for the taste)

2 c. diced cooked chicken (tonight I used a deli chicken since I was in a hurry-the best taste might come from a hen that you have cooked and saved your own broth)

1 c. chicken broth

1 can cream of chicken soup

8 oz sour cream (my brush at healthy eating included using light sour cream)

Melt the butter & mix well with cracker crumbs. Put 2/3 crackers in bottom of 9 x 13 greased pan

Mix liquids well

Place diced chicken over cracker crumbs

Spread your liquid mixture over

Sprinkle remaining cracker crumbs on top.

Bake at 350 deg for 30 minutes.

Wa-LA- Easy supper & fresh summer corn as a side.

Note to readers-How does Mother Nature know where I-20 is? The weatherman is always announcing that we will get rain south of and up to I-20. Most of the time he is right. Unfortunately we live 3 miles north of I-20. How does this happen? It can be pouring rain at BC's office 1 mile South of I-20 and the sun shining at our home. I personally believe in the conspiracy theory! Somebody is conspiring to have me pulling water hoses ALL SUMMER!
