Momma Original: Hot, Cheesy Chicken Sandwiches


Tonight's supper was a favorite of mine and my family growing up.  It was something that I had not had in sometime, but for some reason had a craving for.  So, when I was home in DeLand over Christmas, I went through my momma's recipe box and was excited to find this recipe.  I couldn't wait to make it and try it in my own kitchen soon in the New Year.

I enjoy cooking and sharing meals with family and friends whenever I can and tonight I got that chance.  My wife's mom and dad recently upgraded to high speed cable internet from DSL so we had planned to go over there and help them get the most of their new internet speed with learning how to use Netflix and other streaming services.  Because I knew we would be doing that, I thought that these open-faced sandwiches would be the perfect low-key supper to feed everyone and not be too intensive on dishes.  I also like to help out and cook for my in-laws when I get a chance because they are a big help to us on a daily basis by picking up our twins from daycare and dropping them off with us at work.

Well, my assumptions were correct.  This was the perfect, low-key Friday night meal.  This recipe made a ton of food and was a hit for everyone from grandparents to grandkids.  It was an awesome feeling to be able to replicate a favorite recipe of my momma's from the past.  I can't wait to try and make other original recipes in the future

Slow Cooker Seafood Cioppino

Brrrrr...it's freezing down here in Florida.  I am a bigger guy and I was freezing in my short walk from my grad school class to my car last night.  This soup, like many crockpot recipes, was easy to put together and the flavors blended together nicely.  Not to mention, the best part, it is only 1 point per serving!  For anyone else that may be doing the Paleo diet or the Whole30 diet, this meal also works with those plans.  When I did get home, this crockpot soup was the perfect meal to thaw out and decompress from the day ------- Now, I'd be remiss if I didn't add a little US history now and again... Cioppino is a traditional Italian-American soup that originated in San Francisco around the turn of the 20th century.  After a bad day out out on the sea, Italian-American fishers that settled in the Bay area would take around a pot asking community members to chip in what they had to make the soup.  The expectation was that fishers that had a g...

Weight Watchers Spaghetti Carbonara with Salmon & Broccoli

Well, I guess the first month of the blog is going to be more of a soft opening than a full blown opening.  Right after a painful hand infection that got me behind on posting, I fought off the flu for the last few days.  Now, that I am starting to feel more normal, the posting should be back to a normal pace with still some backlogged items to post. One of the things that the Wife of the Blog and I have appreciated so far about WeightWatchers is that it is not some crazy diet where you have to eat just tree roots or berries.  This recipe from last night was a great example of this.  We got to enjoy a filling, great meal and did not have to feel guilty about having carbohydrates.  This meal was also super easy and came together in probably 15 minutes max.  It is a perfect easy and healthy weeknight meal.  A great catch! ---- Weight Watchers Spaghetti Carbonara Serves: 5 WeightWatchers Points Per Serving: 6 8 oz. spaghetti 3 slices center c...

Shrimp & Chicken Sausage Paella

One of our favorite places to eat that we do not get to eat at often is the Columbia Restaurant in the middle of downtown St. Augustine.  Their paella, 1905 salad, and house-made bread is a meal that cannot be beat.  While I am not a wine drinker, the Wife of the Blog is also a big fan of their red wine sangria.  As those of us with little kids can attest, eating out anywhere, let alone a nicer place an hour-plus away is not a common occurrence.  Either we would rather save money and eat at home and/or we would rather parent and wrestle our kids in the peace of our own home. While not quite as good as the Columbia's this paella did a great job of satisfying our Columbia cravings without having to pack the kids in the van and drive an hour to get it.  This recipe will certainly be making it into our meal rotation for the future.  I tweaked the original recipe that I found a little bit to make it a little easier to make and it seemed to work for me....
