This is What's for Dinner

I'll post what I have left planned to cook out of this batch of groceries. Since we're not home together 2/5 nights during the week, we don't cook and rely on whatever we can find/leftovers those nights.

Tangent: I also plan to use my slow cooker more, because I love the convenience of it. My only problem with that is that I have so few things that I can actually fix & forget. I think my crock-pot is too big ( I have a 6 qt. smart pot) for most of my recipes, so I really have to watch to make sure things don't dry out. Chicken and pork are usually the worst.

Anyhow, without further ado:

• Brown Sugar Chicken (I'm using chicken legs, because that is what I have on hand.)
• Super Simple Cranberry Roast (Doug loves roast and I'm always looking for a new way to fix it.)
• Meatloaf (a variation of this recipe, I do a lot of substituting here...)
• I'm also embarrassed to admit that one night we'll probably have frozen popcorn chicken. It's quick & easy.

Here's what we had last week:

• Velvety Vegetable Cheese Soup So easy & yummy...had it with baked potatoes & garlic cheddar biscuits!
• Cabbage Rolls The last batch of this I made, was the best ever. I tweaked this recipe some, and I watched them closely so they wouldn't overcook. If they overcook they are mush and I don't think they are very good. Doug will still eat them though. We had it with boiled potatoes (yes, potatoes again...Doug somehow thinks that because the 10 lb. bag is on sale for $3, it's a great buy...great if you can actually use all the potatoes!) and roasted carrots...YUM!
• Spaghetti with meat sauce...nothing special here, just spaghetti and whatever kind of jarred pasta sauce you like, we add seasoned ground beef to ours.

Challenge:

Here's a recipe that I want to try soon. It's chicken and goes into a 6 qt slow cooker! Plus, it sounds yummy. I love enchiladas, but hate assembling them. I challenge you to try it too and we'll post our results!
