What's Cooking?

Crockpot Mexican Chicken - Two thumbs up from all of my boys.  We had them for dinner last night as tacos and burritos.  The boys praised it through dinner and were planning their lunches with the leftovers!  Bonus...today is a snow day...no need to worry about re-heating, keeping food warm so I'm going to make quesadillas with the chicken :).  The original recipe bakes it in the oven but I made it in the crockpot.

Crockpot Mexican Chicken
 
Ingredients
1 pound boneless chicken breasts (3 boneless chicken breasts)
1 teaspoon Seasoning for Tacos
Salt, to taste
(1/2 packet of Low Sodium Taco Seasoning)
1/2 cup enchilada sauce (1 can mild enchilada sauce)
4 ounces cheddar cheese, shredded
3 green onions, chopped
cilantro, chopped

Method (this is how I cooked it in the slow cooker)
Place chicken in crockpot and sprinkle the chicken on both sides with taco seasoning.
Pour enchilada sauce over chicken.
Cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours.
When done, shred chicken.  Sprinkle cheese and green onions on top.
Serve with Mexican rice (I used Zatarain's black bean and rice mix), sour cream, guacamole, and cheese.  Also, flour and corn tortillas.  Enjoy!

Notes:  We have plenty of chicken leftover and will be making quesadillas with it for lunch today.

What's Cooking?

Parmesan Crusted Chicken {Hellmann's Mayo Recipe} ...this recipe is super quick and easy.  I made it for the first time last week and all the boys loved it.  It's on this week's meal plan and will be making the rotation quite a bit.

Parmesan Crusted Chicken
(adapted from Hellmann's/Best Foods)
serves 4

Ingredients:
1/2 cup Hellmann's or Best Food's Real Mayonnaise
1/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
4 boneless skinless chicken breast cutlets, about 1 1/4 lbs. total weight or about 5 ounces per breast
4 teaspoons Italian seasoned dry bread crumbs

Instructions:
1.  Place mayo and cheese in a small bowl and mix. 
2. Lay chicken breasts on baking sheet (I line my baking sheet with parchment paper to make clean up easy) and spread mayo mixture evenly atop each. Note: I butterflied each breast to cut down on cook time.
3. Next evenly sprinkle bread crumbs atop each. 
4. Place in oven and bake for 20 minutes or until chicken is cooked thoroughly and juices run clear. Tops will be browned and chicken will be incredibly juicy. You can also finish them off under the broiler for a minute or two to get them extra browned on top.
5. Season with a dash of fresh cracked pepper and sea salt, if desired.  
6.  I will be serving mine with steamed veggies, cranberry sauce and either rice or mashed potatoes.

What's Cooking?

Easy Turkey Soup(another pinterest recipe)...served this to the ladies at our Just Scrappin' Day Crop and it was a hit.  It's Gluten free and Dairy free to boot.  Love how easy it was to make and how tasty it was.  It's definitely going into my recipe box.

Easy GF DF Turkey Soup
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients:

1 1/2 lb. fresh turkey breast, skin on (used a 4lb breast and 3x the recipe)
3-4 cloves garlic, chopped
Half a red onion, finely dived
2 ribs of celery, trimmed and chopped
4 large carrots, sliced (I plan on one carrot per person)
Half a medium-large winter squash, peeled and cubed (butternut, banana, etc)
Sea salt and fresh ground pepper, to taste
Italian style herbs, to taste (basil, rosemary, thyme, marjoram) (I used an italian blend)
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar (I used apple cider vinegar)
Fresh cold water, as needed
Fresh chopped parsley, for serving

Instructions: 
Turn the slow cooker on High.

Rinse the turkey breast in cold water and place it in the bottom of the slow cooker. Top with chopped garlic, onion, celery, carrots, squash. Season the goodies with sea salt, pepper and Italian herbs. Add the vinegar. Pour fresh cold water over the turkey and veggies until submerged.

Cover and cook on high until the turkey falls apart using a fork. This could be anywhere from 4 to 5 hours, depending upon the size of your Crock Pot and the size of your turkey breast. 

Remove the piece of skin and discard. Pull apart the the cooked turkey into pieces, using two forks or a big spoon. 

Stir and taste test. Does it need a pinch of sugar to offset the saltiness? How about a little more vinegar to brighten the flavor? Tweak the broth gently with small amounts of sweet, sour and salty until the balance is the way you like it.

If you like your turkey soup spicy, add some hot red pepper flakes!

Serve with a sprinkling of fresh chopped parsley.

This Just In!!!

October Afternoon's MIDWAY collection.  It's hard to find a collection for all those fall fairs we attend...the Big E, Spencer Fair, stART on the street, carnivals.  Finally found one with just the right touch, I'm in love.  It came in yesterday, kitting it today and I can't wait to share it with you!
I tried to go through their blog hop but had to weed through the blogs to find the midway shares...to save you some time, I'm posting the links here and you won't have to go scrolling through blogs ;)

What's Cooking

Crockpot Honey Bourbon Chicken (found on pinterest)...made it for dinner yesterday and it was a hit with the boys, all three of them.  Even easier, Walmart sells a 3lb frozen bag of boneless, skinless thigh strips .  Cooked the entire bag but did not double the seasonings...and it still came out perfect.  I served it with jasmine rice, Trader Joe's Thai shrimp gyoza and stir fried green beans.

Crockpot Honey Sesame Chicken

Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients:

1 lb. boneless, skinless chicken thighs, about 5
Salt and pepper
1 cup of honey
1/2 cup of low sodium soy sauce
1/4 cup ketchup
2 tbsp. vegetable oil
2 cloves of garlic, minced
1/2 cup diced onion
1/4 tsp. red pepper flakes
Cornstarch
Sesame seeds

Instructions:

  1. Place the chicken thighs in the crockpot insert and sprinkle salt and pepper on both sides.
  2. In a medium sized bowl, combine honey, soy sauce, ketchup, oil, garlic, onion, and red pepper flakes. Stir to combine well. Pour over the chicken in the crockpot.
  3. Cook on low for 3-4 hours or high for 1 1/2-2 1/2 hours.
  4. When done, remove chicken from stock pot and cut into chunks. Prior to putting the chicken back in the stockpot, combine some cornstarch in water and whisk it into the crockpot to thicken up the sauce a bit. Throw the chicken back in and stir around to recoat the chicken in the sauce.
  5. Serve hot over a bed of white rice (optional) and sprinkle some sesame seeds on top.

New Layout Kits

I've been keeping myself pretty busy with page long to-do lists daily.  I thought it would get easier as I got more weekends under my belt but the lists just keep on growing and the papers keep piling up!  Enough is enough...between February and March, I have managed to crank out FOUR new Layout Kits for my store.  Here are some sneak peeks.  You'll just have to swing by my booth to get a full view.  The layout kit themes are as follows..ice hockey, baptism, spring and celebration.
Check out my schedule HERE.

Color Swatch Organizers

Sending a little shout-out to Cool Crops and their croppers for a wonderful weekend in Portsmouth, NH!!!  While there, many were impressed by my Stickles Color Swatch Chart.  I had to tell them it wasn't my idea and that the printable is available FREE on the Ranger site.  Also available on the Ranger blog are printable charts for their Adirondack Acrylic Paint Dabbers, Distress Inks, Distress Stickles, the new Liquid Pearls collection.  Isn't that so very nice of them?

Siewleng's March Scrappy Newsletter

Happy Snow Day!!!

It’s snowing hard and fast as I sit here typing this newsletter.  Figures we’d get through the whole winter with little to no snow and get hit with an anticipated FOOT on the last/first day of the month!!!  On the flip side, the boys got the day off from school and there’s actually enough snow to play in J

This month, I can be found at Cool Crops Portsmouth (March 9 – 11) and Just Scrappin’ All Day (March 24).  Let me know if there is anything you would like to see me carrying or would like to place a special order such as specific Bazzill colors, hard to find items, etc.

Special Pre-order: Double Tier Designer Glitter Glue Holder
Have you seen these in person?  I did this past weekend, Thanks Trista and love the design.  I initially thought they wouldn’t work but she showed me how they spring open and the inner row pops a little higher for ease of use. This is a pre-order.
Retail cost is $22, pre-order price is $17.50 tax included. 
I will NOT be shipping this to you, it’s too complicated.  I will hand deliver at crops or we can meet up within 15 mins of Worcester, MA.
They will NOT be in by any of the Portsmouth crops, sorry. 
Pre-order deadline is 3/12/12.
Email me if you’re interested or have any questions.

What's cooking?

Another recipe from pinterest.com.  Slow Cooker Pullled Pork...a can of root beer, a hunk of pork shoulder and a bottle of BBQ sauce.  Super easy to throw together in the morning and come home to a delicious warm meal.  Another Two Thumbs Up from my boys :)  And a small perk for them, we bought a 2L bottle of root beer so we had root beer floats with the pulled pork sandwiches...YUM!!!
