My sister reminded me this morning I neglected to review the dish. The overall feeling was that the chicken was delicious, but the veggies were mush, so I’d like to do those separate from now on. The chicken was NOT boiled tasting or “wet” but rather a perfect texture. And dinner was ready when we got home, which meant we had time, for once, to watch a movie!

Score!

Mineral oil writing “Corleyn.” To finish the cutting boards.

Then Jeff was soldering something…so we decided that it would be a great idea to crack the Crock.

Recipe 5: Slow Cooked Chicken with Onions and Apples

• 2 cups sliced onions
• 2 apples
• 2 pounds chicken pieces
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary leaves
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 1/2 cup cream of mushroom and garlic

We changed the recipe a little according to what we had. We did NOT cut the chicken, and there was no bone involved.

And easy to clean!!

Recipe 3: Chocolate Chip Cookies, Fall Edition

Recipe 4: Pumpkin Bread Mix, Trader Joe’s

I determine my pan is non-stick. Thus needing no butter.
