Win a Slow Cooker! (and my crock pot recipe)

-
Visit Ribbon Rock Star to celebrate 1000 posts and the chance to win this Kitchenaid 7 qt slow cooker! Entry requires you post a slow cooker recipe in a post comment. Have fun and let me know if you win! Of course I'm hoping I win, but I could learn to be happy for someone else! lol

Here is the recipe(s) that I posted:


Day 1 Recipe (this is good for Saturday night dinner):

"FAUXTISSERIE CHICKEN"
-One Whole Chicken-Dried onion (or onion powder)
-Fresh Garlic (or garlic powder)
-Sea Salt or Season Salt (or table salt)
-Paprika if you have it (this gives it that "roasted" color)
-Rosemary or Thyme sprinkled on it if you want it to be "fancy"

Place chicken in crockpot. Sprinkle all the above on top and around sides. Place lid on and turn to HIGH and cook for 8 hours for SUPER tender chicken!
Serve with your choice of side items.

<>< <>< <>< <>< <>< <>< <><

Waste Not, Want Not: Save any leftover chicken and refrigerate. Take leftover broth and chicken carcass and keep in crock pot and add more water to pot to fill up about half way to 3/4 full. Add more seasons to your liking. Cook either on high for the next few hours then save broth (after it cools) for another recipe OR cook it on low overnight. In the morning strain your broth so that all you have is broth and place broth in another bowl until ready for it.

<>< <>< <>< <>< <>< <>< <><

Day 2 Recipe (this is good for after morning church):

"CHICKEN NOODLE STEW" (you can omit any or all veggies to your likin')
-1 package of Frozen Egg Noodles (like Reams)
-1/2 bag of frozen peas & carrots
-1/2 bag of frozen corn
-2-3 stalks of celery cut up
-1/8-1/4 cup of Dried onion flakes (or use about 1/2 - 1 med onion chopped up finely)

By now your crock pot should be about full so go ahead and add in any leftover chicken from the night before (if you have any) and add broth to fill to the top (if there's leftover broth put it in freezer to save for another recipe). Now set it to low and cook until noodles are done
(usually 2-3 hours). Umm Umm Good! Enjoy!





Blessings!

Tea Tree Oil I

I have heard so much about this oil and thought I would finally try it. My excuse to finally get it was I found a great little homemade recipe online for diaper rash (or prevention of) using Aloe, tea tree oil, etc. (I will post this recipe later). So since I will be switching to cloth diapers soon and wanted to also switch to a more natural diaper wipe (using the recipe I found in a spray bottle to a dry wash cloth makes a good "diaper wipe") I went ahead and ordered from my favorite little website http://www.vitacost.com/ and my items just came in a couple of days ago. **Even though I purchased mine online (I bought other items too) you can find this in lots of stores now including your local health food store. Sometimes Health food stores are a little higher in price so it might behoove you to call around to your local grocery stores or even retailers like Walmart, Kmart, etc. to see if they carry it before you go searching for it. This will help you plan your trip and yo

Let's Eat Organic! In Season and Out -

My family and I have been trying to switch as much as possible to all natural and organic. It is a bit overwhelming when you think of all the food that is out there to choose from. So I thought in order to make things easier for me when I shop I would compile a list of foods that are best to eat Organic while others are better to eat All Natural and then of course there are the foods that you just can't really get around or may be okay to eat. So to get started this is the Organic portion. For a good article click here . I used to shop mainly at Aldi's and supplementing at Meijers with a an occasional Wal-Mart thrown in. But I have to admit that I have a problem. When I go to the big superstores I get myself in trouble and end up spending WAY too much money because I always "wander" over to the other sections that do not pertain to groceries and always find something that I "need". So recently I have decided that I'm going to start shopping at Krogers fo

Do you wear makeup? Yes.  I wear just a bit on occasion.  I wear brown eyeliner, black mascara and a bit of neutral eyeshadow (browns or purples - not like royal blue purple but subtle).  I like to do this for my hubby as well as a pick-me-up to myself.  I also wear tinted lip glosses.  Once a year I get all dolled up to go to my Hubby's company End of the Year Party and then I wear my hear real fancy with a bit more make-up with a new (or new from thrift-store) skirt and blouse and of course got to have some beautiful stylish high heels. Do you wear a head covering? I cover sometimes as my Hubby is not quite co
