It's the start of another busy but fun week filled with clients and sports for the kids.  I'm smiling because my crock pot is full and cooking dinner for me while I'm out doing other things.  Here's what cooking today:  Line your crock and add:  
1 package boneless, skinless chicken thighs
1 can no salt added corn (dump in don't drain)
1 can rotel
1 can white beans, drained & rinsed
1 8oz package cream cheese (can use chive and onion also)
1 pouch ranch mix - My new FAVE is Mrs. Dash as its salt free, no MSG or other chemicals.  Look on a reg packet and you'd be mortified what's in there.  1 tsp. Cumin and Chili Powder each
Hot sauce to taste

Cook on low 4-6 hours.  Shred/Break up chicken and serve with toppings to suit your taste. Great for lunches too :)

Crock Pot Mondays - Buffalo Chicken Wraps

Well kids are back to school so we've been trying to come up with some new lunch ideas.  They need to be quick, tasty and healthy.  The Buffalo Wings my boys love don't meet any of the above so I created a version that is for the crock pot that is lunchbox friendly.  Line your crock and add simply a package of boneless, skinless, chicken thighs  - free range chicken preferred and a half bottle of your wing sauce of choice.  Cook on low for 6 hours.  The chicken will be falling apart and easy to shred.  I made a batch last week and then made wraps for lunches.  Using a whole wheat fajitas size wrap we smeared bottom with chive and onion cream cheese, added chicken and topped with ranch or blue cheese dressing. The possibilities are endless for your wraps based on your taste :)

Crock Pot Mondays - Back to School Edition!

Well my boys went back to school today! I've been working with clients over the summer but was on crock pot blogging summer vacation. I'm happy to say I've had time to try all types of new recipes and this one is great for a hearty super healthy breakfast alternative to your oatmeal. "Bananas Foster Quinoa"

When possible use organic items...

Normally I say use a crock pot liner but for this recipe skip that. Start a medium size crock on high and add 2T butter in bottom. Let melt down and swirl around crock to help coat. Add 1 cup quinoa, 1 c water, 1/2 c half n half, 1/2 c almond milk or low fat milk. Mash two very ripe bananas and add to bananas: 1tsp Apple Pie Spice, 1T vanilla extract & 3T brown sugar. Add banana mix to quinoa in crock and stir. Add 1/2 c chopped walnuts to crock. Turn crock to low and cook for 4 hours. Serve warm with a drizzle of honey or maple syrup and fresh blueberries is a great add in! This is packed with protein and just yummy!! 6-8 servings.
