Verde Chicken Sandwiches

Yesterday I was in a car accident. I was rear ended and then thrown into a concrete barrier. Needless to say I am extremely sore today. My husband took a vacation day to help me out. He decided to make a very easy crock pot chicken recipe we found on www.allrecipes.com. I cannot emphasize enough the word EASY! Here is the recipe.

1.5-2 lbs Frozen Chicken
1 Jar of Pizza Sauce
1/2 Jar of Verde Salsa (Green Colored)
1/4 Cup Sour Cream
Hoagie Rolls
Optional- Peppers, cheese

Take FROZEN chicken and place in crock pot. Add pizza sauce and salsa. Cook on low 6-8 hours. Before serving stir in sour cream. Serve on hoagie buns. We also cook some mixed bell peppers in a small skillet with cooking spray and dump in at the end. You could also top with pepperoncini peppers and some kind of shredded italian cheese. These are optional. We think it tastes great so give it a try and let me know what you think!

Free Stencils

I have a neat project I will be posting tomorrow, but in trying to complete it I was in need of some alphabet stencils. I had purchased some, but I really wanted a different font. I started searching the web and realized there are many fonts and stencils that you can print out for free! I decided to list a few of the ones I found, but I am sure there are many more out there.

www.karenswhimsy.com (Offers many images and lettering)

www.all-about-stencils.com (Offers a few free stencils)

www.fashionfrog.com (Offers free images)

www.spraypaintstencils.com (Go to alphabet stencils and scroll down past the paid ones. Also offers free images as well)

www.wallandmural-stencils.com (Offers many different images and alphabet)

These are just a few of many that I found. You have to search around a little, since most sites want you to make a purchase, but I was surprised at how many free items I found! Tomorrow I will talk about a method I found on Pinterest to transfer the letters I printed off onto wood.
