This is Paula's recipe. We are on a first name basis as I watch her everyday. Actually tape her everyday and appreciate her take on butter and cream. This looked so yummy I added this to our Xmas eve appetizer list.

2 tablespoon butter
1 bunch green onion
1 lb. raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 cup Parmesan cheese, shredded
1 cup Monterrey jack cheese, shredded
1 cup sour cream
1/2 cup mayo (I used miracle whip)
salt and pepper to taste
Saute the pepper in the butter until tender. Add remaining ingredients until shrimp almost cooked. Spread in small baking dish and bake at 350 for 30 minutes or until shrimp cooked and dip bubbly. Serve with baked pita chips (recipe follows)
1 package pita bread (split in half and cut into wedges)
olive oil
salt and pepper
Drizzle pita wedges with oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake at 350 degrees for 10-15 minutes until golden brown.
Chicken Rustica
So, this was one that Alex told me I needed to put in my blog, and since he is picky eater I took his word for it. It liked it a lot, and Dan even liked the sweet potato portion. It was VERY easy too, even though it sounds kind of lengthy, the steps are pretty easy.
4-6 sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed (I used about 6 small)
8-10 Yukon gold potatoes, cubed (if you use russet probably use 3-4, and I left the skin on these)
2 onions sliced
olive oil
3-4 tbs. bacon bits (use real, not the hard ones)
Italian seasoning
salt and pepper
1 - 14 oz. can chicken broth
1 cup heavy cream
6 chicken leg quarters with skin on
1 stick butter, softened and cut into pieces (2 for each piece of chicken)
3-4 tbs. grated Parmesan cheese
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Toss potatoes and onion with olive oil (enough to coat). Place in roasting pan. Sprinkle with bacon bits, Italian seasoning, and salt and pepper to taste. Pour chicken broth and heavy cream and mix. Place one piece of softened butter under leg skins, and another smear on top of skin. Place chicken over potatoes and sprinkle with Parmesan and salt and pepper. Cover with foil or lid and bake in oven for 1 hour. Uncover and bake for another 30 minutes or until chicken juices are no longer pink. You may need to drain juices every 30 minutes. Do not drain completely. Enjoy!!!

Chicken Primevera Pizza
I know it has been a while but I have been cooking this whole time, just no time to post anything. So here I go. Tonight I made pizza that I must say was pretty damn good. If my stomach wasn't smaller than normal I would have eaten a ton more. And it was easy.... Good for a working mama to make on a school night. Course not all the family got to eat, Maddie passed out at 4:30 on the couch yelling at me because she couldn't eat candy! She would have liked it though! I made 2 pizza's for the 5 of us and there was only about 1/4 of a pizza left. Even Gage my picky eater came back 3 times and asked to take it to lunch, but Alex had already called dibs. Moral of the story, you should try this pizza!
2 tubes pizza dough (I used flat bread dough)
olive oil
garlic salt
grated Parmesan cheese
4 chicken breasts
3/4 stick butter
minced garlic
1 onion, sliced
1 green pepper, diced
4 cups shredded cheese (I used pizza blend, but you could use mozzarella or Italian blend)
6-8 tablespoons ranch dressing
1 cup fresh spinach, torn into pieces
pizza seasoning
additional grated Parmesan cheese
Saute chicken, onions, and peppers in saute pan with melted butter for 20 mins or until no longer pink, turning after 10 mins. Let rest 10 mins and then slice each piece into bite size pieces. Meanwhile, unroll each tube of dough on a greased cookie sheet and press into rectangle. Drizzle 1-2 tablespoons oil on each rectangle and brush over dough. Sprinkle with garlic salt and grated Parmesan cheese (to taste). Bake at 400 degrees for 10 mins or until brown. Brush each with ranch dressing. Layer each pizza with shredded cheese, drained onions and peppers, torn spinach, and sliced chicken. Sprinkle each pizza with pizza seasoning and Parmesan cheese. Bake for an additional 8 mins or until cheese is melted. Enjoy!!!
