Lemonade Chicken

I found this in a "Taste of Homes" cookbook.

2 TBSP Brown Sugar
1 TBSP Cider Vinegar

Remove chicken and keep warm. For gravy, combine cornstarch and water until smooth; stir into cooking juices. Cover and cook on high for 30 minutes or until thickened. Return chicken to the slow cooker, heat through.

I served it over rice

Brown Sugar Pork Ribs

I have this book called "Dinner is Ready" by Deanna Buxton. That is where this recipe comes from.

3 pounds boneless pork ribs
1 onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
3 TBSP butter
2 TBSP soy sauce
3/4 cup lemon juice
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
2 cups brown sugar

Place ribs in crock pot. Cook on high 3 hours. DRAIN. Cook onion and garlic in butter until soft. Add remaining ingredients. Pour over ribs. Cook on high 2 more hours.
Serve over rice.

*We had this the other night and it was really good. I cooked the onions and garlic in olive oil instead of butter but everything else I did just as it says.

Chicken Pot Pie

Even though this is for Chicken pot pie, I just used leftover turkey instead.

First I make the Chicken Noodle Soup recipe only I don't add noodles, just potatoes and peas and carrots. Make it a little thicker than you would the soup.
Then I make a crust:
4 Cups Flour
1 1/2 Cups Shortening*
2 tsp Salt
1/2 to 1 Cup Water
(This is for top and bottom crust for a 9x13 pan)

Mix and then divide in half. Roll out half for the bottom and place in pan, fill with the soup and then roll out the rest of the dough and place on top.
Bake at 375 degrees for 35-45 minutes (until crust is a golden brown)

*I use butter flavor shortening and I think it makes the crust taste better

Crock Pot Chicken Taco's

This is one of my favorite meals I do because it's so easy and tastes good.

1-2 Chicken Breasts
1 can of Black Beans (or whatever beans you want)
1 cup Salsa

Throw all of that in a crock pot and cook it all day. Before you serve it, Shred the chicken and mix everything together.

Put in tortillas with taco stuff...ie..cheese, lettuce, tomato, olives, sour cream, guacamole etc...

Chicken Noodle Soup

Since we are sick in our house right now, I made my mom's recipe of chicken noodle soup.

2 cans of Cream of Chicken soup
1 can Chicken Broth
1-2 Chicken breasts cooked and chopped
1/2 bag of frozen peas and carrots
1/2 bag egg noodles (not cooked)
2 chicken bullion cubes
*optional 2-4 potatoes peeled and cubed

Throw everything in the crock pot except the noodles and cook 4-5 hours on high, or longer on low.
About an hour before serving, throw the noodles in there.

*My mom doesn't usually put the potatoes in there but I always do and I sometimes don't put the noodles in. It just depends what I have in my cupboards and what I'm in the mood for.
Also, sometimes I don't have chicken broth so I just boil the frozen chicken breast in some water and add onion flakes and then use that water instead of the broth.
You could also add a variety of vegetables, we just always use the peas and carrots. When I made it this last time, I used fresh carrots and just chopped them up. I like the frozen ones though because it's less work :)
This is a very creamy soup.
