November 15-21, 2009: Crockpot Crazy Week

Sunday (dinner with church)
brought: fruit salad
chopped bananas, strawberries, grapes, mandarin oranges covered in a strawberry yogurt and cool whip mixture

Monday
SouthWest Chicken Soup (turned out more like dip and we all loved it)
combine in crockpot and cook all day:
2 frozen, skinless chicken breasts (shread towards the end)
1 can black beans, drained
1 16 oz jar/tub favorite salsa
1 bag of frozen corn
1 8 oz package cream cheese (added before serving)
We served this with corn chips.

Tuesday

Dessert was rice crispy squares.

Wednesday (Amish drumsticks on sale!)
Bbq chicken and potatoes
I put the drumsticks, big side down, in the crockpot, cover with Montgomery Inn bbq sauce. Then I large slices of potatoes on top and sprinkled them with garlic salt and parsley. I let them cook all day.
For dessert, I put butter, peeled and chopped apples, cinnamon, and brown sugar in a sauce pan and let cook until the apples were softened. Then I mixed in some oats and spread it into a small baking pan. I sprinkled a hand full of pecans over the mixture and a little bit more brown sugar on that and baked at 350 for 15 minutes. We served this over vanilla icecream.
