Slow Cooker - Chicken and Gravy

Ridley's Wreckage

This is one of those meals that everyone will eat in our home, it's quick and easy to make, clean up is a breeze and it's comfort food at it's best, so filling on a cold winter night. I love to serve my chicken and gravy over mashed potatoes, but you could use egg noodles, rice or boiled potatoes in place of mashed. You could serve this chicken and gravy over Texas toast for an open chicken and gravy sandwich. Heck this gravy is so good you could pour it in a mug and drink it! Pair this with some green beans or a salad and you have a easy weeknight dinner.

I love my slow cooker. I love to cook with it and I love the way it just makes the house seem so cozy with a big pot of deliciousness cooking all day. Not to mention, how good the house smells! In the winter our crock pot is in constant rotation, kinda like our grill in the summer. You literally just dump everything in and let your slow cooker do it's magic.

Ingredients:

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 (10.5-oz) can cream of chicken soup
  • 2 (0.87-oz) envelopes of chicken gravy mix
  • 1 14.5 ounce can of Chicken broth
  • 2 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon Garlic Powder

Instructions:

  • Place chicken in the slow cooker and season with salt and pepper.
  • Whisk together soup, gravy mix, and chicken broth. Pour over chicken.
  • Cover crock-pot and cook on LOW for 4-6 hours.
  • Before serving break the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces. Use two forks to pull meat apart into shreds.
  • Enjoy!

How To “Recycle” - Easter Peeps

Every year I buy peeps for my kids, they are just one of those things that I purchase to add to the Easter Baskets, a filler of sorts. Every year they sit, lolol, no one ever eats the peeps. It’s one of those things you either love em or hate em. If they don’t look so darn cute sitting in that Easter Basket, I would never buy them. They go hand and hand with the Easter bunny and let’s face it, it’s not Easter without peeps. So the big question is what the heck do we do with all these left over peeps?

“Heavenly” Homemade Caesar Dressing

I absolutely love Caesar Dressing, I can make an entire meal outta a good Caesar Salad. A long time ago I gave up buying salad dressings and began making my own at home. I did this for a few reasons, first, I almost always have on hand the ingredients for a good italian dressing. Homemade dressing has a lot less additives and preservatives and takes no time to put together. Lastly they always taste better, having the ability to add fresh ingredients to your dressing really brings it over the top and you can adjust your dressing to your likes and taste buds!

Growing Food That “Thrives” - In 5 Gallon Buckets 🥕🍆🍅

I live on a hobby farm, and I love my little piece of heaven. Besides the animals, I love my gardens. I’m really beginning to get that gardening bug. Being able to work the land and get my hands dirty is really a joy for me. I love all things flowers, but we mostly focus on growing food, for us and the animals. I will throw a plant anywhere. My garden areas are a tad limited due to my free ranging chickens and goats (who should not free range but manage to break out frequently- good thing we live on a lot of property stinkers). Sometimes (more often than not) my garden plot is a 5 gallon bucket.

Better Than Franks - Buffalo Sauce

Let’s face it everyone loves Franks, I love Franks! It’s probably a staple in just about everyone’s home. But I think that Franks can be taken to that next level when it comes to Buffalo sauce, and that is just what I did today! I’m using Franks as the base to this amazing wing sauce. This sauce is the perfect mixture of tangy and spice with a richness that is velvety smooth on the palate thanks to the addition of butter. Introducing your spices: cayenne, garlic and onion packs a powerful flavor boost, giving you the ability to make it as spicy or mild as you choose and the Worcestershire adds depth to the overall flavor of your sauce.
