Jennie's Recipe Reviews: Chicken and Gravy

I love an easy slow cooker recipe and this one was easy and delicious. Slow Cooker Chicken and Gravy was definitely a winner for us.

Basically, you just mix broth and gravy mix, toss the chicken in, turn the slow cooker on high and let it go.

I served it over mashed potatoes and it was perfect!

Jennie's Recipe Reviews: Chicken Pot Pie Soup

I have never been a pot pie fan. I'm not sure why...ok...it's the peas.

I tried to make it once and it didn't really turn out, so I never went back to it.

But when I started seeing Chicken Pot Pie Soup recipes pop up in my feeds, I knew I had to try it. So I chose this recipe Pinch of Yum and we loved it. (And the leftovers were even better!!!)

I did struggle to get the soup to thicken the first night...but that is probably because I used 2% Lactaid instead of heavy cream.

I liked the idea of using a cookie cutter for a fun shape, but then all I could find was a Christmas tree and a snowflake, so I used the snowflake.

Recipe Review: Crock-Pot "Baked" Potatoes

I hate using the oven for dinner in the summer...I can't be alone in that right?

Our kitchen has these amazing windows that overlook our beautiful, forested back yard. They also take on a lot of late afternoon summer sunlight. So, its hard for me to make one of my favorite foods...baked potatoes because it requires the oven to be on for a long time at a high temperature.

So, when I found this recipe for Crock-pot "Baked" Potatoes, I was elated!

Last week, I tried it for the first time and I have to be honest...it cooked the potatoes even better than my oven.

I'm serious. It was better than the oven.

Here is how it went for me.

After you wash the potatoes, you put it on a square of foil, then prick it all over with a fork.

Then you drizzle it with olive oil and sprinkle with salt.

Then, you place them in the Crock-Pot and cook them on high for 3-4 hours.
