One bag of pitted dates
Parmesan
Extra thinly sliced bacon (one slice per date)
1. Cut a hefty wedge of Parmesan large enough to fill the center of the date.
2. Slice date along one side creating a small pocket.
3. Stuff cheese inside and wrap date around, covering cheese as much as possible.
4. Wrap one slice of bacon around stuffed date and secure with a cocktail stick through the center.
5. Bake at 375 degrees for around 10 minutes or until bacon is nicely browned.
Chicken and Rice:
4-6 skinless boneless chicken breasts
1 can condensed cream of mushroom soup 6 large mushrooms, chopped and peeled
1/2 cup of water
3/4 cup uncooked rice
1 1/2 cups broth made with chicken bouillon dissolved in equal parts water and white wine
Mix all ingredients in a crock pot (or similar slow cooker) covering the chicken breasts evenly. Cover and cook on low heat for six hours or until chicken is cooked and rice is tender.
