Super easy crockpot chicken!

I made this recipe on the weekend and was amazed that it was so easy and tasty.  Honestly, you don't add any liquids and it turns out super moist (sorry cb - I know you hate that word!).

Happy cooking!

Bean Soup

I made an AWESOME totally-from-scratch soup this week!  No recipe, just yummy ingredients!  I used northern beans, 2 garlic cloves, a package of frozen veges for soup (no seasoning), garlic powder, and a few pieces of leftover ham for flavoring.  The "secret" ingredient was my George's Mix from a restaurant down in NC.  I took a couple cups of the beans and put them in the blender to puree and then added to the pot.  This gave the soup a creamy consistency without cream.  After leaving the pot to simmer for an hour or so, viola!  YUMMY SOUP! 





And, for fun, I thought I would include a picture of the sunset the same night I made the soup.  I took it through the screened window in the diningroom, but you get the picture - INCREDIBLE!

All about Gwenyth!

Lately, I can't get enough of GOOP - Gwenyth Paltrow's Web site.

Today I stumbled upon a video recipe with her making Bibimbop which is one of my FAVES!!!  Enjoy!

Cookin' with Gwenyth!

So, Gwenyth Paltrow is in the kitchen cooking and posting her videos on YouTube. I stumbled upon the video below on Cut out + Keep and thought it was too yummy and easy not to share! Mexican for dinner tonight?! Yummy!

A recent dinner at LaNa...

Bread Machine!

So, we got a bread machine from family for Christmas.  I had never really thought of asking for a bread machine let alone owning one...but, I LOVE it!!! 

I've made several loaves and thus far really enjoyed a white bread with dill seeds that called for cottage cheese instead of eggs or butter.  A lower fat alternative that definitely worked.  I will try experimenting with different recipes and will report back on my successes (or messes!) as a bread machine owner.

Thanks Dad & Linda!!
