Chicken!

 






 
The other day I got my moms old Crock-Pot and Quick Cooking cookbook out. I found a
recipe I have never tried before and it was awesome so I thought I would share.

 

 

Crock-pot Chicken

6-8 chicken breasts, boneless/skinless

12-16 pieces bacon

Salt, pepper, garlic salt, (any other season you want to try)

2 cans cream of mushroom

1 cup sour cream 

 

Cut chicken pieces in half and wrap raw piece of bacon around each piece and
secure with toothpick. Season as desired. When all wrapped, place in baking
dish and bake at 350 degrees for 20 mins. (Meat wont be done) Transfer to
crockpot. Mix soup and sour cream together and pour over chicken. Cook on low
for 4-6 hrs. Serve over rice.

 

*tonight I did high for 2 hrs and low for 3hrs and served with rice pilaf from
2 nights ago

 

Tuscan Kale Salad

In my quest to get Cameron to eat healthier I tried a couple new recipes for lunch today. Here is one I was for sure he wouldnt like BUT he did! Yay! 

(stole picture from google, mine pictures just dont turn out very well)

Tuscan Kale Salad

(from Becky Sauro)

Ingredients:

4-6 cups of loosely packed kale (Italian Black) mid ribs removed

3-4 Tbls Olive Oil

2-4 cloves mashed garlic

Salt and pepper

1- 2 tsp red pepper flakes

2/3 cups grated cheese Pecorino Toscano, Asiago or Parmesan. (I used Asisgo/Parmesan mix)

1/2 cup freshly made bread crumbs from toasted bread

1-Whisk together:

lemon juice

olive oil

garlic

salt and pepper

red pepper flakes

2-Pour over Kale, then add cheese and toss

3-Let sit at least 5 mins, add bread crumbs and toss. Add more cheese on top if desire.

Baking is the new boredom buster

Chocolate cupcakes + peppermint marshmallows=yummy!


Ok I stole these pictures (my pictures don't turn out very pretty) but I made a regular devils food chocolate cupcake recipe but added 3-5 mini peppermint marshmallows to each cup and a several chocolate chips before I baked them (just the regular box directions). Then frosted them with chocolate frosting (cream cheese frosting would also be tasty). They turned out super yummy! The marshmallows expand so use less batter or bigger cupcake tins. It just added a hint of peppermint.
This is something I do when I am bored and in the mood for baking.
