"Dancing Queen" isn't exactly the best song to get you motivated. Guess I can check marathon off the bucket list. Check.
A lot of you guys emailed me and said you were running it too. How did you guys do?

I swore at mile 24 that I would never run again. But...now I'm thinking of all the things that I could have done better and how I can shave off time next time....so I guess my marathon days may not be over.
Yes. I know. I need my head checked.
Since I still can barely walk because I'm so sore, I was thinking of an easy dinner that still tastes good. Even I can hobble around the kitchen to make this easy swiss chicken. It's so simple but has great flavor. My sister has been making it for years but I saw it over at Real Mom Kitchen and was reminded of its yummy simplicity.
Swiss Chicken
4 chicken breasts
6-8 slices Swiss cheese1 can cream of mushroom soup (or cream of chicken)
1 cup milk
1 box Stove Top Stuffing
1/4 cup butter melted
7. Baked covered with foil at 350 degrees for 45 minutes. Remove foil and bake 5-10 minutes longer. Serves 6-8.

I just made this on Sunday when my daughter and family came by after church. A friend brought it to a pot luck dinner we had here last year and we all just loved it! Easy, yummy and comforting :)
This is yummy. It is in one of my many church cookbooks. I think someone brought it to me once after having a baby.
Congrats on the marathon...I've only accomplished a 5K! Blog looks cute and chicken casserole is pure comfort food :)
Congratulations! Awesome accomplishment! You really deserve someone ELSE making you food. :-)
i actually make this recipe but i use sour cream instead of milk. got it from a ward cookbook in utah. it is a fan fav here at my house..
I love ABBA but not that much...YOU R AMAZING! Great job!
Wow, you are amazing@
haha! I know your nephew Scott!!! He and his wife are our friends!!!
@The Brock Family,
I love Janece. Small world. Scott and I are more like brother and sister since we grew up together. He killed the marathon. Ran a 3:30.

Christy! Love the new look of the blog...and the cute chicky at the top TOTALLY looks like a cartoon YOU! And I have to say...Scott and I were taking bets that you would do another marathon! GO FOR IT! Scott's trying to get me to do it next year...that may take a miracle!
So fun to see you this weekend!
Janece
Christy, I had a few people from my ward just email me and tell me that they saw my picture on your website! Small world! Nice job on the marathon, you're a real trooper and I am so proud to call you my Auntee! :) See you at St. George next year!
Check out this link I thought it would put a smile on your face!

congratulations on the marathon! once you do one...you will always want to do more. try the disney one in orlando!
i love this recipe since it fits my critera of ~ 5 ingredients and 1-2 steps.... i use the small pieces of chicken (?chicken tenders?) and so skip any steps with manipulating chicken. works fine to start with frozen chicken as well.
and its delicious- thanks for passing it on!
I did try to look for you at the marathon even though you said not to. :) Shocking that I couldn't spot someone I've never met when mixed in with 7,400 other people! ;) The heat SUCKED and it was a really hard race. I struggled...HARD core!
Anyway, going to try out your new recipe as I pretty much trust ANYTHING that gets posted on your blog! yum!
Wow. That is all I have to say about running a marathon. I don't even have a bucket list, that way, I don't have to worry about doing anything like that! :) Anyway, I never have heard of this one (big surprise since I have repelled cooking all of my life). I will definitely have to try this one.
Congrats on your marathon run! What a great accomplishment! Also the new blog design looks great!
Congrats on the marathon! That is fantastic! I fancy myself a runner too, I just don't think I have it in me to do a full marathon though! After 13.1 my goose is cooked! That chicken looks great! I know I have made a slightly different version, but it has been a while.
We love your recipes! My mom and I always come here and look up yummy recipes for baby showers, family dinners and much more! Thank you for sharing your talent!
I cannot believe you ran a marathon and had the same 2 songs playing over and over again! You are one tough cookie! When I ran my 2 5K's this year I had to have different songs playing! Go you!
