Just wanted to update ya'll that I'm still doing a great job of procrastinating my move. I even made dinner tonight. Usually packing calls for a total by on cooking, but for me, today it sounded like a great idea. My excuse was needing to use up our frozen chicken and cream cheese, so I came up with this interesting concoction and tossed these in my slow cooker:
1 can diced tomatoes
1 can cream of chicken soup
a few frozen chicken breasts (more is better, we just didn't have much left)
a brick of cream cheese, cubed
1/2 cup of water
salt and pepper added to taste with some garlic pepper as well
you should probably set the cooker to low for 8 hours but I kind of threw this together at the last minute and did 4 hours on high and it turned out okay. real chefs would probably beg to differ, but when you're low on time, you're low on time.
I also dug some frozen broccoli out of the freezer and steamed it while I had rice in the cooker. I got even more ambitious and opened my box of tastefully simple's bountiful beer bread and made some bread. I used sprite instead of beer since the last time I had a can of beer in my fridge was never.
I shredded the chicken and poured it over rice. It's kind of a soupy mixture. If you want it less soupy, add less water and more chicken.
Nothing fancy, probably the equivalent of a hobo dinner, but it fed my family and will probably feed us for the rest of the week. So now I guess I really should pack up the kitchen...

Can you come make us dinner? I haven't been to the store in three weeks (no lie) and we're starting to get desperate (as in I'm currently eating Taco Bell). Please send help ASAP!
