Chicken-Chinese Take Out style & Kettle Corn

The brown sugar chicken recipe is one to try for sure! I found this on A Year of Crockpotting. I stuck all of the ingredients in a ziplock bag and froze it. Pulled it out on Sunday and forgot the crockpot part. I heated the mixture to a boil on the stove top and then turned it to medium heat. Cooked the chicken through, then turned it to low and let it simmer. We thought we were at the local Chinese Buffet.

Granola and Yogurt

These recipes were snagged and tweaked. The yogurt came from A Year of Crockpotting, but using Greek yogurt as the starter made mine turn out great. Remember to save a cup as a starter for your next batch.
Granola is our new favorite snack.

Sweet Potato Burritos

See the older post for the Prairie Dust Recipe. This was a major hit! The recipe was really for patties, but they crumbled so we threw it in a tortilla. Great vegetarian recipe.

Waffles!!!

This recipe is supposed to make 16 waffles, I only got 8.
It was a big hit.

Miracle Lasagne-when you need something fast.

Essential Spice Mixture

This spice mix sprinkled on some veggies with olive oil and slow roasted is excellent.
We have been using sliced sweet potatoes, yukon gold potatoes, onions, brussel sprouts, plaintains, not necessarily all together but in combinations. We place
the chopped veggies in a gallon ziploc, drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with
the spice mix. Seal the bag, shake until coated and turn out onto a pan and roast.
