Buying the Groceriers; 
- The list of ingredients that we needed was the 1 16 ounce of  italian bread or french bread, Parmesan cheese and 1 can cream of chicken soup.

- First, take everything out on the table. Measure the ingredients that needed to be measured. Put them in small bowls.

Then after that is ready, spread the Mixure on the italian bread(side where you cut) Put into oven at 350 degrees. Keep checking frequently.

My guests did enjoy the meal. They said that it was very delicious. They loved the chicken and pasta because it was cooked just right and there wasnt too much chicken or peas. But they're favorite was how much flavour the garlic bread had.

    The preparation of the meal went very well. Once you had everything all measure out, all your utensils out, and you started cooking things just went along with it and seemed for the most part to work out.
    What went well was the way the garlic bread turned out. I personally thought that it wasn't going to turn out well or that I was going to burn it. But I put just enough spices in the mixture and it was spead on evenly that when it was done cooking it was actually better then any garlic bread i've had.  What didn't go so well was getting everything ready before I started cooking. I forgot to get everything out and to take a picture. By time I had remember to do so the garlic bread was already ready to go into the oven, the chicken was just about finsished cooking and the pasta was just beginning to cook.
     If i were to make this meal again and change one thing it would be too take time in preparing before i start cooking so that i have everything ready and too make sure that i'm not in a hurry or stressed out about other things at the moment.

The most enjoyable part for me was eating. I found it very good. It turned out better then I expected it too.
