Wow, Chrissy! Don't you ever sleep???

These days...rarely. I nap when my kids are at school...but basically I have been keeping a pretty tight eye on my troublesome daughter & therefore I have nothing better to do than tend my seedlings at night or fill this page with recipes & play games lol

If you like jigsaw puzzles, here's a great place. They let you upload your own photos and make jigsaw puzzles out of them to work on the computer!
Jig Saw Puzzles!

I make simple 6 piece puzzles from pictures of Andy and Brennan on the backhoe or dozer, then send them to Brennan to work. He likes them because he and Pappy are in the picture!

This one I made up but everyone loves it!!
1 whole chicken cut up ( or just breast or what ever you like)
2 boxes of rice a roni red beans and rice
4-6 hot italian sausage ( or what ever you have) cut up into chunks
2 green pepers
1 med onion
I put the rice a roni and all it's ingrediants water, butter ect right into the crock
stir in peppers and onions diced up as well as the sausage cubes, chunks
lay the chicken over top, I layer it and I sprinkle with cajun spice on the skin for extra flavor.
Just leave it for about 3 hours, till temp on chicken is (?180?_)I usually don't puor the sauce over the chicken cuz I like the spice to stay on the skin.


I also do whole chicken too
1 whole chicken
I stuff it with sausage, chopped onion and a chopped orange
I then cover it with butter and an orange glaze. You can find it in the oriental section of grocery or just use orange concentrate (no water) and honey. enough to cover th echicken and give you a half inch or so in the bottmom to keep it moist and juicy. I serve it with plain rice and butter but I also am a big fan of noodles, so what ever sid eyou like!

It's funny, i will just go through my cabinents and throw stuff in, while thinking ......uuummm this would be good!!!
Hope ya like em!!!! I Do!

Wow! That is strange...I have a thawed out chicken I was going to make yesterday, but Andy wanted something else. So, I HAVE to make it today! I have all the stuff for the chicken with the orange glaze!!!! COOL!!! Thank you!

Lemme know what you think, the glaze really helps to keep it juicy! Darnit now that I have been talkin about it , i'm goning to have to make it too!!!!! okay, going to the store!

Ohmigoodness!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You guys are the BEST!!! I am going to try each of these out! They all sound like they are delish!!!!

I get so tired of being the *fry cook* of the family...making dinner, only to have to make everyone something else because usually two or more children won't eat what I've made. I am going to start crock pottin' and if they don't eat it, tough toenails!!

Barb H.

It's funny that you said that because my mom always said, if u r hungry, you'll eat. So we learned we had to eat, there was no other option. Unless of course your kids have allergies, but that is something entirely different. The only thing I was allowed to leave on the plate was fat, off of meat. I still depise fat!!!!! yucky ca-ca!!!!!!
I hope you like the ones I put up , I've alraedy printed the ones Crissy posted, I don't have much time in the yard after work, so every minute counts. Even if it's a half an hour to prepare something, there are so many other things I'd rather do with tha t half hour!

Renee,

Yes, i made sure to print every single recipe and am going to try them all. My kids are allergic only to the thought of eating something other than pb&j, fish sticks, chicken nuggets, frenchfries and pancakes. Oh...and hotdogs and occasionally a piece of pizza. That's it....that's all they will eat...no fruit, no vegtables, just what i've listed.

So, I've got to do something, anything to get them to broaden their horizons.....and trick them into finding a *venchtable* that they will eat!!!

This is is my familys favorite

.Rack of spareribs cut up into ribs
Big can of tomatoe sauce
Peel of an orange
Two cans of beef broth
One can of red wine-obviously use one of the broth cans
One can of orange juice
One bay leave
Just dump this all in and let it go - about an hour before done add a package of baby carrots

I serve this both with rice or mashed potaotes. So good

Wish I'd had that spare rib recipe a few weeks ago. My dad gave me a HUGE "rack of ribs". I had no idea what to do with it. It looked really intimidating to me, but I just cut it up, stuck it in one of those Reynold's bags, dumped some bar-b-q sauce over it and cooked it.

You wouldn't believe how many of these recipes I've cooked so far. That chicken with the orange glaze was delicious! Everything I've made from these recipes is delicious! Today it's one of Chrissy's stews.

Does anyone have the recipe for crockpot macaroni and cheese. I've eaten it before and it's great.

By the way. What a wonderful thread.

I hope someone does! Yum!!!

I 3rd that!!!!

Chrissy,
Have you ever made it without the onion powder or garlic powder??

Weezie

Just curious???????

Yes I have made it without & it is still good...my 2 youngest daughters hate garlic & onion. I have also added cubed ham for something a little different & also hamburger for a change of pace. But it tastes just fine without the garlic & onion:)

My recipe is pretty much the same with the exception of the onion and garlic.

HELP
New user to crockpot! When you all say put on slow cook or cook on low for several hours...what temp is that exactly...mine reads simmer then 200 degrees up to 400 for the deep fat fryer part!

I just put a roast and potatoes in and set it on simmer...what temp should it be set at and for how long??? Can cook for 5 or 6 hours is okay with me!!!
