No Time To Cook? Try This!!!

Ok, it's "Girls Night Out" and I still have to cook dinner for my family. That's when I call in my 3 best friends...crockpot, rice cooker and bread maker! If you don't have those three items....call for a pizza or take some Xanax! First, run to Costco! Yes, Costco! Get one of the roasted chickens and bring it home and cut it up. If you don't know how, google it and there are plenty of videos that will show you how to do it. It is ridiculously easy. Just use a good knife.


















Put the chicken pieces in a crockpot and add your favorite herbs. Mine are sage and thyme...delish!!! Pour a little Marsala wine on top and turn your crockpot on low. It will keep for hours without drying out and you don't have to watch it.

Add some brown rice to your rice cooker and follow directions. That will stay on warm for awhile after it has cooked.


Now, if you really want to wow them, use your breadmaker to make some dough (recipe should be included) and bake some fresh rolls. Put an egg wash on them and sprinkle some salt on top.


Now go put your pretty on and have some fun!!! You deserve it! Got to go...the timer just went off for my rolls!!! Whew!

OK Miss Gerry, just made a Costco run and picked up some roasted chickens (I always throw a couple in the freezer - they do amazingly well). I'm going to try the chic in the croc recipe w/herbs (mine are now big enough to pinch) & Marsala. Since we're avoiding carbs we'll have roasted veggies or some such thing as a side. Cheers and keep these wonderful recipes comin'!
