Today, I kick off my new blog  feature, Food, Fiction, and Foolishness! Each post will contain a recipe, a book, or something to do with writing, and a bit of humor. I hope you’ll find some new dishes to try, a new author  to read, and a bit of fun to start your day. I’d love for you to leave comments!! So, to start things off here’s one of my family’s favorites.

There are a lot of chicken spaghetti recipes out there, but I’ve used this one for years. If you buy a rotisserie chicken, it goes together quickly. 

FOOD

Chicken Spaghetti

INGREDIENTS
1-3 to 5-pound chicken boiled, deboned, and cut into pieces OR purchase a rotisserie chicken from your local grocery story and debone and cut it into pieces

1-24 oz. package of spaghetti
1-large green bell pepper, chopped
1- large onion, chopped
1-10.75 oz. can mushroom soup, dilute with one can of water
1-10.75 oz. can beef or chicken vegetable soup, dilute with one can of water (if I boil my chicken, I use the broth to dilute the soup)
1-4 oz. jar of pimentos
1 Tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
2 cups grated cheddar cheese

DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 350
Cook spaghetti according to package directions, drain and set aside.
Boil pepper and onion in a small amount of water until tender, then drain.
Mix all ingredients (except cheese) together, place in greased 9 X 13 pan or casserole dish.
Bake in 350-degree oven until hot through and through.
Remove casserole from oven, top with grated cheese, and return to oven until
cheese melts.
This recipe makes a lot, and it freezes well. Many times, I’ll divide the casserole into two pans, and freeze one.

FICTION

Hmm…this guy looks like he needs carbohydrates. I think he’d enjoy some chicken spaghetti!

FOOLISHNESS

Back in August, some guy stole nearly $100,000 worth of ramen noodles. Talk about a high carbohydrate diet!! The following video has a lot of ramen noodle facts and figures!
