My favorite thing about him being in the military would have to be that even though it's a labor demanding job and he has to wake up at early hours and stay until whenever he's allowed to go, he hardly complains. He really enjoys his job and I like that a lot. Benefits are pretty good also ;)
I used my crockpot last night for the first time since I got it as a Christmas gift from my mother-in-law, Terry! It is awesome, amazing, splendid, fantastic! Why in the world did I not use it sooner? I want to cook all of my meals in it! I made BBQ chicken and it was delicious. Matt said it was the best BBQ chicken that I've ever made!
I didn't take any pictures of the step by step process because, well.. I don't have a good excuse - I just forgot. I was lost in my crockpot glory. I made BBQ pulled chicken sandwiches and our sides were baked beans and Matt made fries. It was all very tasty and filling!
I cannot wait until I find something else to make in my crockpot.... oh the many options going through my head right now. I have a feeling that thing will get a lot of good uses and is in for a long run!
Countdown to state exam: 3 days. I am getting really nervous, the nerves are kicking in. I can feel my stomach already starting to form knots!
I LOVE crockpot cooking too!!! What kind of BBQ sauce did you use for the chicken?
ReplyDeleteI cook roast beef in our crock-pot. Put small white potatoes, sliced carrots, chopped onions, and seasoning in the pot, fill the crock-pot 2/3. Let it simmer for 8 hrs, start it @ 9am, leave it alone and diner is ready @ 5pm. Love Dad
ReplyDeleteOh that does sound good. I will have to give that a try sometime in the near future.
ReplyDeleteI know Matt likes spicy stuff. So u can try the pulled chicken sandwiches I make all the time, we made them for Ricky once but he said they were too spicy. I put two chicken breasts, sprinkle a packet of the kraft ranch dip, dump a jar of Franks buffalo wing sauce in and a tbspn or two of butter and cook on high for 4-6 hrs. I usually just chop the chicken with a big spoon when it's done cooking and still in the crockpot.
ReplyDeleteJessica, thanks for that recipe! I will give that a try, I know Matt will definitely love it. he's huge on spicy things, although lately he's been into more flavoring spicy's instead of extreme spicy...if that makes sense! but I will try what you said.
