Tonight for dinner I made this yummy chicken recipe. I found it on this blog http://heyheygoodlookin.blogspot.com/ The recipe is called Amazing Apricot Chicken. I served it with mashed potatoes, green beans, and rolls. Everyone loved it. The kids even wanted seconds. I invited my Dad, Mom and Sydney over for dinner too. It was very easy to make and I would highly recommend it.
8 boneless chicken breasts
1 (8 oz.) bottle Russian salad dressing
1 cup apricot jam
1 pkg. dry onion soup mix
Place chicken in a greased 9X13 baking pan. Combine dressing, jam, and onion soup mix and pour over chicken. Bake uncovered at 350 for an hour. Makes 8 servings.

The Yummiest Chocolate Chip Cookies
I found this yummy recipe on my friend Chantri's blog. She said that the cookies don't come out flat so I knew I had to try it. She was right they were not flat at all and they were very good. My family gobbled them up. Thanks Chantri for sharing this wonderful recipe with me.
