its a laundry miracle!

Well, i am doing laundry tonight, since i haven't done it in FOREVER... i grabbed enough quarters to do 3 loads in the wash, 2 in the drier.. or so i thought. i brought it down and washed the clothes... when i went back down to dry them i opened my billfold (which i ONLY use to carry quarters to the laundry, so it has nothing else in it). I open the change area and see i have 3 quarters and a freaking nickle!!! why couldn't i have figured that out when i went down to wash the clothes.. i am thinking, now i am gonna have to walk all the way back up stairs (laundry is on the basement floor, i am on the third..)... and for some reason i decide to open the billfold to look in the pocket where you put cash... THERE WAS A QUARTER THERE! thank you laundry fairy!! i was ticked i would have to run all the way up and down the stairs, but no! i had a quarter all tucked away where it didn't belong.
so, i have been getting Kraft Food magazines for a long time (i think my realtor signed me up for it). anyway, i once found a cheese soup recipe i loved... and in the last one, i found a recipe for a chicken dinner, and another one for well i guess another chicken dinner... anyway, I had the "angel chicken" recipe the other day... though i didn't follow it exactly, it was pretty good, and easy, so i thought i'd share!
4 oz softened cream cheese (i used the whole brick, not paying attention to the recipe!)
1 can of cream of mushroom soup
1/4 cup Kraft Tuscan House Italian dressing (i used plain ol italian house dressing)
1/4 cup dry white wine (i used the reisling i had on hand)
1 1/2 pound boneless skinless chicken thighs (i used chicken breasts) cut into bite sized pieces
1/2 pound angel hair pasta
2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley (didn't use this at all).
beat cream cheese, soup dressing and wine with whisk until blended. Pour mix over chicken in slow cooker, cover and cook on high for 2 to 3 hours, or 4 to 5 on low.
this came from a lady named amy in lakeville MN! it was even better reheated for lunch today!!

The second chicken recipe "cheesy chicken & broccoli bake" is in the oven right now.... if i like it, i will post that one too!!
