I have a question. Buddy do you have a crock pot???

Until the weekend, I would have said no. However, when putting stuff away this weekend, I found one hiding on a bottom shelf, behind my stash of paper products. Dh had it before we got together. It's location shows that I don't use it, but I probably should.

Buddy im hoping it not too late. On my WL as one of my items I put a 32oz cup with lid and straw. I was just googling around and found exactly what im looking for. I have this exact one in green and i LOVED it until this past weekend when i noticed a leaking crack in it! I have looked everywhere and do you think i can find another one I used this cup almost daily. I have half a dozen smaller ones but i just find those never to be enough!

Just catching up ...

I ♥ my crockpot!!!

I do chicken, breasts and whole, pulled pork, roasts (pork or beef), chili .... mmmmm....

I would love some new crock pot recipes to try!

You have any good chicken boob ones for the crock pot hijinx? We only ever have shake n bake (well homemade shake n bake) chicken, need some new chicken recipes

[hijinx25]

My absolute favourite is for a whole chicken -

Take three pieces of aluminum foil, ball them up and place inside at the bottom. The place your whole chicken on top so the chicken doesn't actually touch the bottom of the crock pot. Rub your chicken with you favourite spices, we do paprika, sea salt, bit of pepper, and cook for 6 hours on low.

this is another one we do a lot

lol @ chicken boob!

One of our fav's is Ranch Chicken Tacos.....throw in some chicken, pkg of taco seasoning and pkg of ranch dip mix and *maybe* 1/8c of chicken broth (we freeze ours in ice cube trays - I use two ice cubes) and cook for about 4hrs on low. Shred chicken when done, and cook for another 30 min on low (high if it is too liquidy)

Serve in soft tortillas with cheese, lettuce and whatever other taco type toppings! Soooooo good! (I put a little Hidden Valley spicy ranch on the tortilla) Yummo!

Oooo that sounds yummy too! I'm getting hungry now

You girls need to be using that crock pot. It is awesome. I got one 15 years ago as a shower gift from my mil. I am now separated and have a new DBF and still use it a couple times a month!!!
I think lizard queen posted this one in the pampered ladies train and I found it on Pinterest.
Put chicken in crock pot. Sprinkle stove top on top. Mix cream of whatever soup and a cup of sour cream and pour over. Cook high for 4 hrs low 6-8 and poof super yummy meal. Just make some veggies and you r done!! Lol

I'm loving all the Crock Pot recipes! I use mine way more in the Summer than winter (I hate being in a hot kitchen) so I'll totally be stealing some of these!

We had quite a fun day. DD played "hooky" and we took the kids to the beach! It's about an hour drive each way (and a 10 minute Ferry ride). They loved it! We only stayed just over 2 hours at the Beach but it was enough for them to get the experience and have a fun. Turned out to be a perfect day - not too hot and not crowded at all!
