Crock Pot Dinner #4

Green Chili Chicken

You can’t find an easier recipe than this one.  Throw frozen chicken breast in the crock pot, 1 can of cream of chicken on top, and last but not least, empty out a can of green chilis into your concoction.  Done on high in 4 hours or cook on low for about 6–7.

Serve over brown rice with a salad.

Note:  I have a large family, so I use the large can of cream of chicken soup and 2 cans of green chilis.

Crock Pot Dinner #3

This is a no brainier….  Not the healthiest, but at least we are getting some food on the table besides cereal.  This would be great for a large crowd.

Meatball Subs

Place a package of frozen meatballs in crock pot, pour a jar of spaghetti sauce, and cook on low for about 6-7 hours.  However, I have to make 2 bags of meatballs, so I got a bit creative and mixed a jar of alfredo sauce with the spaghetti sauce.  Everyone loved it.

Serve in hoagie rolls.  I prepared a pasta salad to go with it.  So easy.

Crock Pot Dinner #2

This was so yummy!  Bruiser prepared this one for us….

Salsa Chicken

Place frozen chicken breast in bottom of crock pot, pour a jar of your favorite salsa, mix in 2 envelopes of taco seasoning,  cook on low for 6 hours.  About 30 min before serving add/mix sour cream(16oz).

Serve over rice

Now just add a salad.

PS ~ Keep in mind I have a large family, so you might want to adjust ingredients to your family size.  I cook 7 chicken breast at a time.

Crock Pot Dinner #1

Being big, fat, and pregnant with my back giving me fits, I decided that we would try to use the crock pot as much as possible. With the thought that the boys could throw our dinner in the crock pot at noon and I could finish the rest at supper time. The plan has worked marvels for our family. The boys actually love to make the main meal and feel so distinguished that they participated. I just love this plan. Tonight we had the following…….

Beef Stroganuff

Sauteed Spinach ~

I just saute fresh spinach with butter, garlic, salt & pepper, and squeeze fresh lemon at the end.

Pumpkin Pudding

I’ll try to post each crock pot meal we have for the remainder of this pregnancy.  Only 3 more months….  I already feel physically disabled….

Ravoli Soup

I haven’t blogged in awhile ~ The pregnancy blues have finally hit!  My back has been a problem and I have tried to be on bed rest as much possible.  Easier said than done.  Anyways, the boys have been preparing our dinner.  They made this yummy Ravoli soup.  We were going to have a salad, but just served with French Bread was sufficient. Enjoy ~

Autumn is officially here…..

I surprised the boys with some yummy muffins this morning to start the long awaiting season…  Amy gave me the insanely easy secret recipe to these delicious semi healthy treats..  I used real pumpkin that I found frozen in my freezer from last year.  I served with vanilla yogurt.  No it wasn’t homemade.  I’ve been a bit lazy with this pregnancy.

Happy Fall Y’all!

Fall is in the air…..

Well maybe not in my air in East Texas, but somewhere it must be happening, right?  I love to decorate for Autumn, in fact, it is my favorite time of year.  I would love to keep my Fall Harvest decor up all year, but my dh detests…  I can’t understand why, can you?  Our color scheme in our house are warm Fall colors.  I tried to compromise with him and told him that our kitchen could be done in pumpkins, but he thought that was weird, too.  Men have absolutely no sense of decoration skills, whatsoever.  Anyways, I save my pennies to add to my Fall decor each year.  I found these cute, so cute items at Kirklands that I must get.  Of course, I couldn’t get them when we were at Kirklands this past weekend together as a family, but I will be going back soon into town by myself to get these cute finds….

Are these not cutest salt and pepper shakers you have ever seen.?  Only 4.99.

I love wine, I mean wine glasses…  These are so festive.. . Too bad I can’t have the real stuff to compliment these fine gems  since princess is still baking in the oven.  But there is always next year.  Red wine Grape juice would look so divine in these seasonal glasses. These are on sale for 15.98, what a steal.

Sonogram results……..

After this miracle pregnancy, we are having a little girl. The sonogram tech was 100% and the dr was 100%. So unless something grows between now and January, Ryland will be getting a sissy.
