1/2 cup Butter
1/2 cup Milk
8 oz. Fettuccine Noodles

Cook noodles according to package directions. Within 5-8 minutes of noodles being done, put butter, milk, parmesan cheese and cream cheese in a pan and melt together on medium low or low heat until smooth. Warms fast and boils easy so watch it close.

Apricot Pineapple Chicken
5 raw Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts
24oz. Apricot Pineapple Preserves (jelly)
1 package Onion Soup Mix

Mix together preserves and soup mix. In a slow cooker place chicken breasts and top with preserve/soup mixture. Cover and cook on low for 4-5 hours (make sure chicken is tender and cooked through).

*I cut apart the chicken once it was almost done because I wanted smaller pieces and it was easier to eat that way!!
