I'm still here lol

 It has been a busy few days and I just have not felt like chatting.  I'm getting ready to make and bunch of freezer crock-pot  meals for this winter. I will post more  in a day or two I hope. We had freezing rain and some hail today and it is going to freeze tonight too. I'm  not ready for winter yet. I was hopping for some FALL 1st.



Coconut Curry Chicken (modified from this Chicken Curry recipe at Martha Stewart)

IN THE BAG- 3 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs, 2 lbs. of chopped butternut squash, 2 medium onions,chopped, 8 minced garlic cloves, 1 oz fresh ginger, 2 T curry powder,1 t ground coriander, 1 t ground cumin, coarse salt
TO COOK- Add the contents of the bag and a can of coconut milk to a slow cooker and cook on low all day. 25 minutes before serving, add another can of coconut milk and a bag of frozen peas.
TO SERVE- Garnish with chopped cashews and cilantro (except if you’re us and you hate cilantro- then just garnish with cashews).





Want breakfast tomorrow without lifting a finger?

Place 2 sliced apples, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1 tsp cinnamon, pinch salt in the bottom of the crock pot.
Pour in 2 cups of oatmeal, 2 cups of milk and 2 cups water.
Do NOT stir.Cook overnight for 8 - 9 hours on low.
I have a very small crock-pot so this is great for me. I did a !/2 recipe and it worked great too.
