Crock Pot Honey Sesame Chicken

This week I made one of my favorite meals so far on my quest for repeatable meals.

HONEY SESAME CHICKEN

It was quick and pretty inexpensive, plus we both loved it.  I served it with chopped peanuts and some sweet and spicy cucumbers.  (Although I left out the spicy because I forgot to buy chili flakes, so I guess they were just sweet...)

These were good too, but I think they got a little watery and they totally needed the spice.  Can't blame the recipe, next time I will make sure I buy chili flakes!

If you want to make the chicken, you can get the recipe on my blog here.  It is definitely worth a try and if you don't have a crock pot, you could make it on the stove top too.  Just boil your chicken and shred it, and make the sauce in a sauce pan.  Easy and delish!

Anybody have any great recipes to share?  So far, we usually rotate between a few standard meals:

BBQ Pulled Pork Sandwiches (slow cooker)

Enchiladas (veggie and beef)

Lasagna (veggie and beef)

Raviolis

Baked Chicken Tenders

Pasta with Salmon

BBQ Ribs (slow cooker)

Pizza/flatbread

and now this Honey Sesame Chicken (slow cooker)

We are in need of inspiration and variety though.  I would love to have 20 really good meals to rotate so we don't get bored.  Any suggestions??

Cooking Up a Storm

Since having baby boy, I have been spending a lot of time in the kitchen.  Gone are the days of dinners out and lunches on the town.  The only place we sit down to eat lately is our kitchen table.  I'm not complaining. The food is good, company great, and the price is right.

Here are a few of the things we have been cooking and eating.  The baked chicken tenders have been my favorite savory item.  So GOOD!

Blueberry Crumb Cake was a huge success.  Here's a tip though: don't eat it without double checking for mold after a week in a tupperware on your counter.  That was a big bite I wished I could take back.

I love pancakes and french toast.  I had an abundance of blueberries last month, so I made these pancakes for breakfast one morning.  I had mine with greek yogurt, blackberry syrup, and fresh berries on top.

Mmm.  Corn bread.  So American-delicious.  I served these with bbq ribs and garlic green beans.  I like them sweeter than these came out, but they were good enough to eat all twelve so...

On the agenda for this month:

Carnitas

Orange Chicken

Homemade Pizza

more Baked Chicken Tenders

and if I am really lucky, DONUTS!

I will let you know how they come out.  For recipes, you can check my personal blog here.
