Herbed Cheese Spread

I think my favorite herb is marjoram.  I hadn't ever tried it until I found a recipe I wanted to try that had marjoram in it.  I decided to bite the bullet and get some.  It was love at first taste.  I also love cream cheese spreads so this recipe was perfect for me.  Serve it on crackers or melt 1/2 batch of it into 2-3 cups cooked green beans.  Yummy!

Herbed Cheese Spread

1 (8 oz) package cream cheese
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/8 teaspoon each: basil, dill, marjoram, thyme, black pepper
1/4 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

Put all ingredients in a food processor and process till smooth. (I just mash it with a fork until it's mixed thoroughly.)  Serve on crackers or raw veggies.

Enjoy!

Chicken and Mushrooms

Here's another recipe that I have no idea where it came from.  This was my first time trying it and it turned out really well.  The kids liked it too.

Chicken and Mushrooms
2 tbsp olive oil
4 boneless skinless breast halves 
8 oz mushrooms, quartered 
3 cloves garlic, minced 
1 cup chicken broth 
1/4 cup green onion, chopped 
1 teaspoon dried rosemary 
3 teaspoon cornstarch
3 tablespoons cold water
Place all ingredients except the cornstarch and water in a large heavy skillet with a lid and cover. Heat to a boil, reduce heat and simmer until chicken is done, about 10 - 15 minutes. Mix the cornstarch and water together until smooth.  Push everything over to one side and add cornstarch to liquid on the empty side. Mix well with juices. Return all ingredients to an even place in pan, simmer for 5 minutes. Serve over cooked rice or egg noodles.

Enjoy!
