Slow Cooker Lemon Cream Chicken

by

During the week, my life is so crazy. Well, really it is crazy all of the time with four kids, but it is even crazier on weeknights. I am always on the lookout for a great slow cooker meal. I love being able to throw the ingredients in earlier in the day, and have a meal ready to go at dinner time. This slow cooker lemon cream chicken is just right for this time of year. The sauce is so flavorful and not too heavy. This could be great with a side salad or some veggies is you are being health conscious, or it would be amazing over a bed of rice or pasta as well.

Spiral Ham with a brown sugar, honey and dijon glaze.

The first time I hosted an Easter brunch at my house, I was terrified because I had never prepared a ham. It has always been one of those things that my Nanny took care of, and she does it so well that there really isn’t a need for anyone else to know how. After we moved out of state though, we started hosting different holidays at our house and I had to learn quickly. I found a recipe similar to this one online somewhere, and it has evolved into this Spiral Ham with a Brown Sugar, Honey & Dijon Glaze.

Gnocchi with Spicy Tomato Cream Sauce

Pasta is my thing. If I could pick one type of food to have for the rest of my life (without the calories), it would most definitely be pasta. If you don’t know, gnocchi is a type of pasta made from potatoes. It is almost like a little potato dumpling. Gnocchi is light and fluffy and just plain delicious. This sauce is something that I came up with one day just based on what I had to work with. The Gnocchi with Spicy Tomato Cream Sauce recipe has evolved with each time that I have made the dish. I have simplified it considerably and it is so delicious and easy that it keeps showing up in our weekly dinner rotation.

If you could choose one side dish to have for the rest of your life, what would it be? I’m not sure if I could narrow it down to one, but I know that mine would definitely be some type of potato. French fries are for sure at the top of my list of favorite sides, but they obviously aren’t the healthiest option. These potato wedges are a healthier and more flavorful alternative to the usually fried version.

Over the last seven years, we have lived in six different homes and in four different states. We have moved five different times and had four babies. It’s been a wild few years!
