Did you gather the fact that I enjoyed my day off???? I did - it was wonderful!!

And I also have TWO recipes to share with you!! Both are new and were great!!

Cranberry Chicken

Chicken pieces (I used 4 breasts and 4 thighs)
1 can of cranberry sauce (whole cranberries)
1 16 oz catalina dressing
1 package dry onion soup mix

Mix all together in a crockpot and cook 4 to 6 hours!

I LOVE doing crockpot recipes but the problem is that most of the recipes only need to cook 6 hours or so - I'm gone for 9 1/2 hours each day- just doesn't work!! So I enjoy doing crockpot recipes on the weekend!! The above recipe is a variation of another recipe I have but this one is SUPER good and the sauce it cooks in is just downright yummy - I put it on baked potatos!


Easy Peach Crisp

2 cans (15 1/4 oz. each) sliced peaches, drained
1/3 cup flour
1/3 packed brown sugar
1/3 cup old-fashioned oats
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 cup butter, melted

Place the drained fruit in a 1 qt. shallow baking dish

Combine the flour, sugar, oats and cinnamon. Mix in the butter till crumbly and sprinkle over the fruit

Bake at 375 degrees or until golden brown - serve warm with ice cream!

This recipe was SUPER easy and I enjoyed the fact that I had all the ingredients on hand - it's simple and fast to make! Is it as good as using fresh peaches? Of course not! But it works during the winter when fresh peaches are not available!!

Take a guess what's rolling in AGAIN tomorrow night??? Must be March in the mountains!!
