Making it Monday: Crockpot Chicken

What a great weekend full of fun, food and family!

Friday night I had a wonderful date with this little lady!  We ate cheeseburgers and cookies, had nonsense fun at the dollar tree, and watched cartoons in bed.  The could be classified as a perfect Friday night!

Saturday was just as much fun, but it consisted of silly string fights while tailgating and breaking out the glow sticks at a night football game with my boys!




Today is Monday and what a wonderful day it is!  Just because it's Monday shouldn't mean that you can't have as much fun as you do on the weekends. To ensure this I have a super easy and versatile recipe that you can throw into your slow cooker and let it do the cooking for you.  This way when you get home from work and school, everyone can sit down to a nice meal and head right back outside for some fun before bed!  See it's just that simple!  You're welcome!

Now get to watching the video at: 

And start utilizing that slow cooker so you can enjoy the things in your life that matter most!

Making It Monday: Fresh Herbs for the Whole Year


Ok I am a basil fanatic!  I truly mean it. I would eat a caprese salad for breakfast, lunch and dinner if possible. Summer produces an abundance of fresh herbs and I use them constantly. But I do have a lot of them and hate to have them go to waste at the end of the season (I would never waste basil). My pots are full of basil and mint (did I mention Mojitos are my favorite beverage of the summer) and both grow well and abundantly during these warm months.

I am always left with pots full of both, so I have come up with a couple of easy ways to make them last throughout the year. Have a looksie at our "Making It Monday" Minute:  http://youtu.be/CUJlwgzU7Z4



You can do this with any fresh herb. Make it taste like summer in the dead of winter while your cooking up your favorite warm soup...or a Mojito. I don't judge.
