Here is this week's journal prompt :

Each Tuesday, I am going to be offering prompts or ideas. If you don't write in your journal regularly - I am going to encourage you to write just ONCE A WEEK and answer the question/idea that I give on Tuesdays. These ideas hopefully will spark a memory and you will be able to capture that in what you write/record so that it can be left for your children/grandchildren/family/friends. Give as much detail as you can when answering.

Will you do this for me? Will you do this for your families? You can write it down in a journal, you can type it up on a computer or journaling software, you can take a recorder and talk, you can videotape your answers, you can even scrap a page with the journaling. It doesn't matter how you do this - it's just important that you do it. The memories, the dates, the information is the only real thing we can leave to our families when we are gone.

If I come up with other family history ideas - I will be sure to share it here too - and if you want to share with me your ideas - that would be wonderful and I'd be glad to share them here too. Just comment here or email me at dedesmith32@gmail.com.

Recipe Thursday - Chicken Cordon Bleu Pasta

This week's Recipe:

So savory! Such a filling comfort meal!

Chicken Cordon Bleu Pasta
by Amber from Definitely Not Gourmet

10-12 oz. penne or ziti pasta
2 cups heavy cream (I used milk and it still tasted great)
1 (8 oz) block cream cheese
1 tsp. onion powder
1 tsp. garlic salt
1 1/2 cup grated swiss cheese, separated
3/4 cup bacon, cooked and chopped
1 cup diced ham
 2 chicken breasts, cubed and cooked
bread crumbs

Cook pasta according to its package's directions. Drain. Add a little olive oil so the noodles won't stick together.

Heat cream cheese on stove over medium low heat until melted. Stir in heavy cream (or milk if you prefer). Stir until completely combined. Add onion powder and garlic salt. Stir 1 cup of cheese until smooth consistency.

In a 9x13, layer noodles, bacon, chicken, and ham. Pour sauce over top. Sprinkle top with 1/2 cup cheese and bread crumbs.

Bake at 350 degrees F for 15 - 20 minutes or until heated through.
