If you are like most of the other people out there who eat the same thing week after week, then you get bored quickly. I finally got fed up with tacos every night, and tried a few healthy, and a few comfort-food ones! Ill just give you a couple of my favorites from this past week.
The first one is from a book my mom gave me for Christmas a few years ago. The book is called "Easy 1001 Slow Cooker Recipes." It is as follows:
Creamy Chicken and Potatoes
4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (we used 5 or 6 smallish frozen ones)
2 tsp chicken seasoning
8-10 small new potatoes (we used 4-5 bigger regular russet potatoes)
1 (10 oz) can cream of chicken soup
1 (8 oz) carton sour cream
Season chicken and place in bottom of crock pot. Cover chicken with cubed potatoes. Combine sour cream and cream of chicken soup and spread over the top of everything. Cover and cook on low for 4-6 hours.(Sorry didn't take a picture!)
This was got raving reviews from us! Justin said it was one of the best crock pot meals ever and Kaden has eaten it for the past several days without turning his nose up at it- which I take as a good sign :) Its really creamy and delicious and the chicken just falls apart!
The next one I found on Pinterest (my new addiction). Since we have a broken car, it is difficult for me to go to the grocery store as often as I would like, so I decided to make myself some Homemade Snickers! (I will just put the link, because there's a lot of type.) I did change the caramel out for my own caramel recipe, but it would be much easier doing it their way.
Another one I used was for lunch one day. I found the recipe here:

I really liked this one because it was super easy, it didn't sit in my stomach like a rock, I had most of the ingredients, and I was able to save the "flatbread" for several days. Not to mention you can do pretty much anything with this sandwich!
The last one was the most fun to make and had the fewest ingredients-Jello Pinwheels!

Gelatin Pinwheel/ Fruity Roll-Ups
1 (3 oz.) pkg. jello
1/2 cup water
1 1/2 cups miniature marshmallows (or 12 large marshmallows)
Lightly spray an 8 or 9 inch pan square pan with non-stick cooking spray and make sure it is spread well.
Bring water to a boil in microwave- about 1 minute. Add gelatin and stir well. Return to microwave for 1 minute and stir well. (This step ensures that jello is completely dissolved.)
Add marshmallows and return to microwave for 45 seconds to 1 minute or until marshmallows are puffed and slightly melted. Whisk until marshmallows are completely dissolved. Creamy layer will float to the top.
Pour into prepared pan. Refrigerate 45 minutes or until well set- they should be very firm and easy to handle. Loosen edges with a knife. Starting at one end, roll up tightly. With seam side down, cut into 10-12 (1/2) inch slices. We found it easiest to cut with a piece of thread or dental floss. Just put the string around roll-up, cross and pull.
They come out like jello-jiggler rolls. Which is perfectly great, cause they are super yummy!
Well enjoy and let me know if you make any of these and what you think!
