Chicken Cordon Bleu Casserole

This is a recipe that my mom came across recently from Fred Meyer.  It was really good and I was especially happy to see that it didn't have any "Cream of..." in it.  As I do with most recipes I tweaked it and this is what I came up with.  The great thing is the leftovers taste just as delicious!

Heavenly Sangria

Sangria is one of those beverages that can be made so many different ways.  I will forever be trying new recipes for this so don't be surprised if you see multiple posts for sangria recipes.  This is one that a friend of mine turned me on to and I tweaked it to make it more within my taste. 

Heavenly Sangria

1/2 lemon
1/2 apple

Directions
Cut up fruit into large slices or quarters
In a large pitcher add sugar, gin and wine together and mix until the sugar is dissolved.
