Crock Pot Mania

The latest craze over the weekend was everyone "friending" the Crock Pot Girls on Facebook. So I guess you can label me a follower...I did it too. Browsed for a while and came up with 3 recipes I thought I would try and headed off to the grocery store. Saturday evening's meal was spot-on. French dip sandwiches...yummy! Roast, beef broth, beer, onion soup mix, some buns and mozzarella - easy and delicious. I skipped the crock on Sunday and opted for beef and chicken fajitas with margaritas...again...yummy! So. I chose the Garlic Lime Chicken to cook for Monday night. Had a friend who I had passed my recipes off to as I was leaving the store and she too was going to try the same thing. Then I got a phone call in the afternoon, "don't you think the sauce needs thickening?", she said. I was at work and long away from my crock-pot, so I was wondering what I might find when I got home. Dan worked late, so Bailey and I were the first victims. I made some brown rice and a salad and dished up some of the chicken. It was okay...nothing great, but we came up with several ideas of what could make it better, maybe some water chestnuts, broccoli, etc. Then when Dan finally got home, HE LOVED IT...how does that happen? So tonight will be leftover hodge podge and Wednesday is pizza night. Thursday I will give the crock another try with some more chicken. This time some sort of BBQ number!
