Image
By

One day in my pursuing of the internets I came across another crock-pot meal!  Yup - I love them (if you haven't caught on by now!)  This one promised to not be pretty....and it was right (but who needs pretty at home if it's yummy in your tummy?!)


  • 3 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and thickly sliced (I sliced mine about ½ inch thick)
  • 1 medium onion, sliced
  • 1 pound chicken, diced into chunks
  • 1 cup baby carrots
  • 1 green pepper, seeded and sliced
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  1. Grease crock (I used a 5 quart). Lay potatoes in bottom.
  2. Place chicken on top.
  3. Cover with onions, carrots, and pepper.
  4. Sprinkle each layer with salt and pepper.
  5. Slice butter into pieces and lay on top of everything.
  6. Sprinkle with garlic powder.
  7. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or until potatoes are tender.

Yield: 4 servings

This was YUMMY!  But I felt like it needed something else with it.  When typing this up - I realized her pictures had an added vegetable...my carb loving self would choose brown rice.  But overall - yum!

I love deals!

When I was growing up one of the things that we loved to do at the grocery was go to the bent can "aisle". This aisle could be a shopping cart or shelf space - never a whole aisle and always in the back - with reduced sale items. When I moved to NYC I learned in my Food Safety Class that you shouldn't eat bent cans because they promote salmonella (I think). This made me think 2 things: why did my mother try to kill us as children and why are they bent cans for sale for the full price at my neighborhood grocery? The first question was dismissed as we all survived, but the 2nd is still a real question (sometimes the only option for something is bent cans!). Well, this summer I found the reduced aisle at one store - it resulted in me buying a box of cereal that included a rebate for more than the cereal cost me ;-). And last night I hit it again. This time stocking up on goodies like diced tomatoes, black beans, pears and a can of pigeon peas. I've been noticing...

Review: Simple Truth Organic Thin & Crispy Vegan Crust & Pizza Sauce

By
We were sent samples of Simple Truth Organic Thin & Crispy Vegan Pizza Crust & Pizza Sauce.  We rounded out our samples with Kroger Pizza Blend Cheese, Kroger Pepperoni and Kroger Bella Mushrooms.  What can I say - we're a Kroger loving family! My little helper loved spreading the sauce and then all the ingredients.  I'm not sure all the cheese made it on the pizzas! Overall, this was good, but I'm not sure we'll purchase the crust again.  The "vegan" part didn't affect the taste as far as I could tell.  I LOVED that the crust was crispy (like a cracker almost), but where the toppings were it was a wee bit softer.  The texture was a+.  I felt like the crust had zero taste.  I did, however, enjoy the taste of the sauce.  I don't like my pizza sauce overly spicy or sweet and this one fit the bill - this we will purchase again. Can’t top the great taste of this #SimpleTruthOrganic Vegan pizza crust! #MyMagaz...

Robin's Egg Blue

By
What color is more vibrant, calming, and fun all mixed into one? For me, it is a bright robin's egg blue. It can be a statement color, and accent color, or whatever you want it to be. I have to give my boy the credit for finding this chest sometime last year. I apologize I didnt really get a "before" picture. The chest was painted brown. Why you would ever really paint wood brown, is beyond me. Especially this chest. It is a cedar chest, smells wonderful and has beautiful, rich natural wood. I sanded this one down, because I wanted to salvage the beauty. However, even then, the brown paint remained in the carvings on the front and in the grooves of the legs. I would have saved that beautiful wood too, but you already know I did not. Why did I not, you may ask? (Especially when I keep going on and on and on about the wood...) Because of this. The top. Sigh . The pictures dont really do it justice, but there are grooves going opposite the grain, making it look scratched. ...
