Cooking up North!

Did some cooking up north, I try to make meals for the week, made cinnamon rolls from scratch, recipe to follow later, a great slow cooker meal, and a tuna salad.

Crock Pot Chicken
Layer in your crock pot in the following order:
1/2 head of wedged or sliced cabbage
1 medium onion in rings
8 oz. sliced mushrooms
1 carrot, sliced in rounds
1 1/2 lbs chicken, skin removed, (use your favorite but ALWAYS remove skins)
2 C of favorite spaghetti sauce, (1 jar)
Cover and turn on cooker to desired cook time, enjoy.

I really like using the crock pot up north, do something in the morning and dinner is ready when you get back from a busy day. I should do this here too, but I gave mine to my daughter.

Also made a great tuna salad, I then stuffed a tomato and placed on a bed of lettuce.

Tuna with a Twist:
2 cans tuna, packed in water, drained
1 can white beans, drained and rinsed
1/4 c chopped parsley
3 T olive oil
2 T apple cider vinegar
Thyme
S & P

Gently combine all ingredients, chill for several hours. Was great in the fresh tomato on the lettuce bed.

Bon Appetit!

BBQ Chicken and Hash Browns

I got this recipe from the fresh hash brown package - it sounded good and easy, and it was. I would imagine that they would put really good recipies on their own package, wouldn't you?

Mix package of fresh hash browns with 1 cup of shredded sharp cheddar, (I always shred my own, much tastier and I know what kind of cheese I am adding) 1 medium onion finely chopped, (saute first for a milder flavor) and 2 T of olive oil, Toss with S & P. and place in bottom of casserole, sprayed with PAM(c).

Place 4 cut up boneless & skinless chicken breasts on top of the potatoes, spread you favorite BBQ sauce on the chicken, I used Sweet Baby Ray's, and cover with foil, shiny side down, and bake at 400 for 4o minutes.

Serve with a veggie or a small salad. So good and easy.

Bon Appetit!
