We're getting pretty bored eating the same ol' thing around here, so while Grayson was taking a much-needed nap this afternoon and Nate was off to work, I decided to cruise through the internet (note: mainly Pinterest!) for some new recipes to try.
It all started while I was looking for a quick and easy recipe to try for after church tomorrow using the chicken breast I have thawing in the fridge. I found a quick, easy recipe for BBQ chicken made in the crockpot. Perfect, as Nate is feeling a bit under the weather and I am exhausted from the busy week we've had with traveling, family, doctor and chiro appointments, etc. So, the easier, the better!
So, once I saw that, I decided to go ahead and look for some more crock pot related recipes.
How stoked was I to find this one?! VERY! I am on a huge soup kick lately and Nate and I both love tacos. So, I'm anxious to give this a whirl too!
Oh, and I also found the recipe for these babies. Not crock pot cookable, but looking mighty scrumptious anyway!
Then, I remembered, "hey! I have a brand spankin' new book from America's Test Kitchen (one of my fave shows, by the way!) that is ALL about cooking in your crock pot! DUH!"
So, I snatched that off the counter and made a list of recipes to try first:
Beef and Noodle Soup
Chicken Vesuvio
Sweet and Spicey Shredded Pork
...and then the baby woke up, so my list came to a hault. But, I promise there will be more!
I have my grocery list started and when I get enough time I'll be heading to the grocery store and butcher for all the supplies!
So, tell me...what have you made lately that has become a staple in your family's dinner plans?
