Fire truck cake

So I have the best friends in the world who also happen to be my neighbors...Lucky me! ;) They are great to call for spider-killing, dog-sitting, help moving things, ect. They are just awesome people. The last thing they did was dog and house watch when we went to the Fire Convention in Myrtle Beach and though I looked, I couldn't find any "My neighbor is a fireman" shirts or stickers. From previous posts you know I'm taking a cake decorating class so I decided to make my first official cake a fire truck cake to thank them for all they do. They love it! Pictures below. 

New recipe

So tonight I tried a new recipe. Just threw a bunch of things from my pantry and fridge in a crock pot earlier today and it turned out pretty spectacular so I thought I'd share. Here's what you need: chicken breasts cut into inch wide strips about three inches long, 2 cans of chicken broth, 2 cans of cream of chicken soup, 2 packets of Italian dressing seasoning, 2 cups of rice. (After trying it, Josh and I decided carrots would make a nice addition too.) Here's what you do: throw it all in together and mix well, put lid on and cook on low for a few hours. Took me 4 to decide it was done. The chicken comes out super tender and perfectly seasoned. Make a veggie if you didn't add carrots and tada! poor mans meal and leftovers depending on how many you're serving. Enjoy! ;-)
