Almost every night at the dinner table our family does "A Great and a Grumble". We got this from my good friend Kristen and it has become one of our dinnertime traditions. Each person has to say one great thing about their day and one not so great thing about their day. Sometimes a great will be something like "I got an A on a test" or "I made a new friend". A Grumble might be "I got picked on at recess" or "I have a lot of homework". These are things that you probably would not have gotten out of your kids had you just asked "how was school?" when they walked in the door. Normally the answer to that is "fine". Sometimes a "Great" is that we are having their favorite for dinner. This recipe of the week is often a "Great"!
Chicken Macaroni Bake
2 cups chicken, cooked and cubed
2 cups elbow macaroni (cooked half the time)
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1 can cream of chicken soup
1 cup milk
1/4 tsp. pepper
1 - 8 oz can mushrooms (optional)
In a large bowl, combine all ingredients. Pour into a greased 9X13 pan. You can cover and freeze at this point, or cover with foil and bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes or until bubbly and noodles are fully cooked.
