Slow Cooked Chicken and Broccoli

Are you ready to prepare and/or eat the biggest meal of the season – Thanksgiving – YES!!! 

It’s not the food that I love, even though it’s a big part of it, it’s the day spent with my family especially now that there are just only four of us which makes it even more special. 

Hubby’s parents and grandparents, my parents and grandparents are all gone and my extended family, all cousins and just one aunt are in New York and Virginia.  I miss growing up with lots of family and friends living closer together sharing the holidays and eating around a large dining room table.

I now enjoy cooking for Malik who will be home from college, Tayair and hubby and it warms my heart because it is creating memories for my sons.

The week before Thanksgiving I don’t cook a lot not only to save room in the frig and pantry but to also cut back on calories and this Slow Cooked Chicken and Broccoli Crock Pot Meal is just right.

Cover and cook on high for 4 hours or on low for 6 hours. You can serve this dish over rice but I prefer Angel Hair Pasta.  Sprinkle with little Parmesan Cheese and Red Pepper Flakes for some added spice.

Next week I am going to give you a Crock Pot recipe to use for the leftover Turkey.

 


Slow Cooker Saturday

Hello Friends and Welcome to Slow Cooker Saturday!

Do you find yourself rushing through the work week in order to get to the weekends?  If so, do you realize that you are just rushing your life away?  I know because I’m guilty of doing it,  so from now on, other than Mondays I’m going to slow down and enjoy all of the week days.

Do you live for the weekends?

I’m up early and out for the first dress rehearsal for Goodwill’s 2014 Runway Show.  The models will get a chance to see and try on what we, the stylists has chosen for them to wear.   I met with my models previously and they had an opportunity to try on their outfits in Goodwill fitting rooms.  Today with some added accessories we will all get a chance to see what they will be wearing  on the runway and I am anxious.

Friday’s  Foodie Feature was preempted by the Weekend Wind-Down Party (#WWDParty) have you linked up, if not, please do and share a post with us.
