A Fabulous Find

My sister told me about this blog, it's got 365 crock pot recipes. I guess that the woman made a goal to cook with her crock pot every day for one year, and she did it. I chose 4 really yummy sounding recipes from it, and can't wait to try them.

Plus: There are a TON of Gluten Free recipes, Melissa!!!

We'll Call This One...

I think we'll call it the "Maggie-fell-asleep-had-a-meeting-and-didn't-know-what-to-make-for-dinner" meal. I totally need to go grocery shopping and was trying to make do with what I had in the house.

3-4 pototaes washed and sliced into chips

Spray cookie sheet or casserole dish with cooking spray and back at 475 for about 20 min, or until done

While potatoes are cooking:

2-4 chicken breasts (I used chicken tenderloins)

baby carrots sliced up

onion- however much you like

1 can Cream of Mushroom soup

Grated cheese- again, however much you like

sour cream

milk, so that it wasn't too thick

So, I cooked up the chicken breasts in some olive oil, seasoned with salt and pepper, onion and carrots. I mixed the soup, cheese, sour cream and milk. Once the chicken was browned I added the sauce. Just cook it until it's heated through and serve over potatoes. I suppose you could eat it on mashed potatoes, or eve rice or noodles.

So there it is, and it was actually tasty. I was pleasantly surprised.

its weird but it might work

So today at lunch I had a salad (applause please) I wanted something crunchy but had no nuts or croutons and I didn't want to take the time to make croutons. So I mixed some plain chex cereal with some melted butter, garlic, and oregano and put that in my salad. I will admit it looked so weird. But it was so yummy. Try it.

Homemade Peanut Buttercups

I know this isn't a supper, but I figured it is always nice to have something after supper too.

1 bag of Hershey Kisses

1 cup peanut butter

1 cup powder sugar

1 TBS butter/margarine, softened

1 bag of choc chips (or a 2nd bag of kisses)

small baking cups

Line a muffin tin with the small baking cups. Melt the chocolate chips in the microwave until smooth. Using a small pastry brush coat the inside of paper cups. Refrigerator for 20 minutes and repeat (I wish now I had repeated this a few times to make the wrapper thicker, stronger and yummier) Make sure there are no thin spots. Refrigerate over night or until firm.

Peel the paper from the chocolate cups.

Beat peanut butter, powder sugar and butter together with electric mixer until smooth. Spoon into chocolate cups and top with a kiss. cover. store in refrigerator until ready to eat.
