As a busy mom I really try to use my slow cooker at least once each week. If you really want to use your slow cooker often I highly suggest a programmable one. That way the cooker can turn itself to keep warm or change from high to low as you need it to. My…

Chicken ala King
This dish scared me. I have never tasted Chicken ala King but when I saw the recipe on Pinterest I had to try it. I had heard of it when I was a kid but never seen it served anywhere. I followed the recipe from High Heels & Grills for their Chicken ala King making…
Kung Pao Chicken
My son loves to try different ethnic dishes. I saw this recipe on Pinterest for Kung Pao Chicken from Winner Dinners and thought it would be easy to make and filling for a quick weeknight dinner. As with all my dinners I adapted the recipe to my family’s tastes. I added broccoli and carrots which…
Chicken Tetrazzini
My mom used to make this all the time when we were children. As an adult I never quite understood how she made it until I ran across this recipe on Pinterest for Martha Stewart’s Chicken Tetrazzini. I tend not to even attempt Martha Stewart recipes because I think they are too fussy and time-consuming…
Feta Cheese and Bacon Stuffed Chicken Breasts
This is another Pinterest recipe. I have been really interested in Pinterest lately. Okay, obsessed with Pinterest lately. But this has all the flavors I knew my family would love. Feta and bacon. My children eat feta cheese right from the container. I can’t keep it out or it will be gone within 5 minutes….
Chicken and Cheese Stuffed Peppers
My family loves the usual stuffed peppers with rice, ground beef, tomatoes, etc…. I saw this recipe for Chicken and Cheese Stuffed Peppers on The Giggler and thought these are two of their favorite foods, this is sure to be a hit. You will notice with all my recipes that mine is a bit different…
Salsa Chicken Nachos
I used the leftover Slow Cooker Salsa chicken from dinner last night to make nachos for tonight. I spread a bag of tortilla chips on a cookie sheet covered with aluminum foil. Sprinkled the shredded chicken over the tortillas and then covered with a 16 oz. bag of Mexican Mix Cheese. Bake in a 350…
Slow Cooker Salsa Chicken
This recipe turned out much differently than I thought it would. I let it cook for quite awhile as we had things to do and it ended up cooking about an hour or two past the time it was done. It was still very tasty but most of the liquid had been absorbed so it…
Slow Cooker Loaded Baked Potato Soup with Chicken
I love my slow cooker. Yes, I am starting to use the term slow cooker as Crock Pot is a brand name and that is not what I have. But, I am using my slow cooker at least 3-4 days per week right now. This soup, stew, chowder? Whatever you would like to name it…
Stouffer’s Chicken Enchiladas with Cheese Rice
“Some days are like that even in Australia,” is a favorite saying at our house. The quote from Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day by Judith Viorst pretty much sums up yesterday for me. I don’t very often use pre-packaged meals frozen or boxed. If you also notice only one or…
Cheesy Ranch Potato and Chicken Casserole
So the chicken I have been planning on using in fried chicken is still frozen after 3 days. Time for a new refrigerator. But, in the meantime I still have to feed my family. I decided to put together what I had on hand into a casserole and hope for the best. Ingredients: 1…
Chicken Stuffed with Ricotta, Tomato, Spinach and Basil
As with many of my recipes I found the basis for this one on Pinterest. Now mine turned out looking nothing like the one on Pinterest but it was DELICIOUS! I started with the recipe on Fortheloveofcooking.net Ingredients: 1 small container ricotta cheese Large handful of baby spinach, chopped Large handful of grape tomatoes, diced…
