Not so excited anymore...........

I was so excited to try my new Orange Chicken recipe tonight. The chicken has been in the crock-pot for about 3 hours and it's just not smelling that great.....I have a feeling I am going to be disappointed. Maybe I should leave the Chinese cooking to the Chinese people???

We shall see........

Um YUM!

Crock pork chop casserole is yummy!!!

It's crock pot day!

Sweet Jane D. let me borrow her Fix it and Forget it book. I gave it to hubby the other night and told him to pick something out of it that involved pork chops. He picked out Pork Chop Casserole.

5 pork chops
4-5 potatoes; sliced
1 can of cream of chicken soup
1 can of cream of celery soup

Throw it all in the crock pot in that order and cook 4 hours on high or 5-6 hours on low (I prefer low).

This recipe also called for a can of green beans (drained) after the soups, but I didn't put those in because then it would remind me too much of green bean casserole, and that is something I DO NOT like.

I think it's going to turn out yummy!

CROCK POT TUESDAY

YUM YUM! This week I am doing probably my favorite thing I have ever cooked in a crock pot, it's one of my favorites EVER! I may have blogged about this before, but I am too lazy to go back and check. I will tag it this time, so it will show up under food. :) I got this recipe from my mother-in-law. She brought it over for us to eat and I ate so much I almost got sick. It was the best tasting roast I have ever had! I have made it several times since. It's not as big of a hit with the kids, because it's just a big mouthful of meat, but they do eat it.

Italian Beef Roast
2-3 lb roast (the cheaper the better)
1 packet of ZESTY Italian dressing mix (make sure it's zesty or it won't taste right)
1 jar of pepperoncini, juice too
1 can of beef broth (I use the lower sodium because of the whole jar of peppers)

Throw all of this in the crock pot on low in the morning and it will be ready for supper time. I take out the peppers and toss them and open a new jar to have with my sandwich. NUMMY I serve it on Italian bread. I can smell it right now, and my mouth is already watering!

Crock pot day

I don't know if it will always be on Tuesday, but it is this week :) I found a crock pot ravioli recipe over at Recipezaar.com. Since Tommy & I won't be home for dinner tonight, I thought this would be easy and quick for Jason and Trent. It will be ready when they are ready for it. I think that is why I love crock pot cooking so much. By the time dinner time gets here I am usually ready for bed! So it works out well to prepare the majority of the meal early in the day. Yummy! I will update on what everyone thinks of it. :)
