My Aunt Mickey’s recipe for Chicken Spaghetti
  (A favorite recipe of Lynda Coker)

Boil a whole chicken until tender. Make sure there is at least 6-8 cups of broth left over when done. Add 2 small packages of spaghetti. Cook until broth is absorbed, but not too dry.

Sauté the following ingredients in a large skillet.

1 cup chopped celery
1 rounded tsp. celery seed
1 cup chopped onion
1 rounded tsp. onion powder
3 Tbs. Garlic powder ( I like to use minced garlic, too taste)
2 Tbs. Chili Powder
2 stick butter.
1 level tsp. red pepper
Salt
Mushrooms (optional)

After sautéing, add mixture to spaghetti. Add deboned chicken. Add 1lb. Velveta cheese (cubed). Add 1 can of diced tomatoes, and one can of tomato sauce. Mixture should be moist and a little on the soupy side because it will thicken and dry out when you bake it.

Bake in 350 degree oven until cheese is melted. (About 45 minutes to an hour)

Enjoy!

Payback in Wayback – Review by Martha A. Cheves, Author of Stir, Laugh, Repeat

‘Self-derision mocked him. What did he expect after spending twelve years in prison for a crime he didn’t commit? How did he forget the 4,380 days he’d waited for answers, and for the woman who never came? Was it not supposed to matter? Truth was – it did. It was why he’d come back to Wayback.’

Corey had served his term of 12 years in prison and now he was back where everything had originally started – Wayback, Texas. He was back for revenge as well as answers. The father of his one and only love, Tiffany, had put him in prison and then allowed her to marry Wayback’s oil Barron Les Covington. Les was twice Tiffany’s age and had passed away two years earlier leaving her with a son and more money than she would ever need.

Payback in Wayback is a story that really pulls at your heart strings. The lives of three people were put on hold due to one person’s wrong doings. Rebuilding those lives will take a lot of patience and understanding and like all good stories, there is a lesson to be learned by all of us in reading Payback in Wayback. This was a very enjoyable, well written short story and I look forward to reading more of Lynda Coker’s works.
