Susie Homemaker

After being sick for a week both my honey and I couldn't get our taste buds back nor appetite. I felt like a horrible Susie Homemaker because I didn't cook for almost two weeks! Such a tragedy right? I even told him we'd have a nice chicken dinner (which consisted of CHICKEN NUGGETS!) Which was fine because he loves them. That was my cue to get some recipes and start cookin!

Well I've made up for it this week! Sunday night while I was quilting I took a break and threw together a crock pot meal from AllRecipes.com, Slow Cooker Chicken with Mushroom Wine Sauce.
It turned out pretty tasty! I added in cornstarch because I thought it was too watery but that ended up being a bad idea because then we didn't have enough sauce and my nickname is Saucey so I was highly disappointed so leave the recipe as is.

Then Monday night I made a Mexicali Hambuger Casserole from BHG.com. That was quite delicious! I added in sliced olives, one diced onion, a can of diced green chiles and used turkey instead of beef. Served it with some cilantro and sour cream with a side of sweet corn cake.
That made a ton of leftovers so we ate it for dinner on Tuesday night as well as our lunch lol! Now today I am using another crock pot recipe for Easy Slow Cooker French Dip. Yum I think the best thing about a crock pot is coming home and the house smells of a delicious meal without having to cook it at all! With this recipe I added in onion powder, garlic powder, Worcestershire, browning liquid, used Guinness beer and beef consume. I'll saute up some mushrooms tonight and toast the french rolls with provolone or swiss and TADA! Dinner without having to do much! Gotta love a crock pot!
