I know this post is a few days late. I have so much going right now there’s not a lot of time to visit blogs. ~sigh but as is life!

We are trying to use up what we have in the freezer as well. I can’t believe that I have 4 boneless pork loins in there. Geesh. Talk about over board! And so much chicken,it’s time for me to get creative,how many ways to make chicken before my children kick me out of the kitchen. We shall see!

God Bless,
Tammy

I was wondering if you could answer a question about the multi-cooker you use for your baked ziti recipe. Can you use both the strainer and the steamer inserts at the same time? i.e. cook spaghetti and steam brocolli over it?

We tried to hide the cauliflower in macaroni and cheese and it was VERY obvious! Yuck! Even my 4 yo refused to eat it. I even used sharp cheddar to try and help disguise it better but…

Great looking menu! The scallops look divine! We’ve had your roasted potatoes twice already and they scramble to get all of them. LOL! That is going to continue to be a regular side dish for us. We are also having your chicken tetrazzini this week.

Just found your blog last week & am really enjoying it!

Here’s my easiest chicken recipe ever:

Italian Crock-pot Chicken

Take however many chicken breasts you need. Place frozen in crock-pot. Cover with Italian salad dressing & a chopped onion. For a family your size, depending on the number of breasts being done, maybe 2 salad dressings & 2 onions.

I do use the packets of dressing you make yourself in cruets. However, when making for this recipe I go a tad heavier on the vinegar & only use 1/2-3/4 of the oil.

This meat falls apart & makes awesome chicken salad the next day. On the rare occasion there is any left. The juices from cooking that are left over also make a decent gravy or topping for rice.

Enjoy!

Cleaning out always feels great — especially after you’re done!!

I have two chicken recipes I can recommend to you… Smothered Chicken (think: bacon, cheese and honey mustard) and Mozzarella Mushroom Chicken.
