Hot tip for the disabled and chronically ill buddies: crockpot dump meals are you best friend. They can be healthy and easy, just dump it all in and go. Love it. And if you get the liners, cleanup is also easy. They can last a couple days, too.

(If anyone has any recipes, please share. I'd love to try something new)

Paean of praise to the humble crockpot

Good lord I love getting to the dinner hour knowing that something delicious is hot in the crockpot. Morning is when I have my cooking energy, and getting the crockpot set up at 7:30 am is like a sweet, sweet gift to future me. Me right now does NOT want to cook . . and I don't have to. My kitchen smells like corned beef and potatoes. It'll take two minutes to warm some sauerkraut up in the microwave. I love past me so much.

Crockpot Chicken With Gravy

INGREDIENTS  

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

2 cups broccoli florets

1 cup chicken broth

1 cup heavy cream

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

2 tablespoons butter

2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

Salt and pepper to taste

Olive oil for cooking

INSTRUCTIONS 

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a baking dish with olive oil.

Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then heat olive oil in a pan over medium-high heat.

Cook the chicken breasts until golden brown on both sides, then transfer them to the prepared baking dish.

In the same pan, melt butter and whisk in flour to create a roux.

Gradually pour in chicken broth and heavy cream, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens.

Add grated Parmesan cheese to the sauce, stirring until smooth and creamy.

Arrange broccoli florets around the chicken breasts in the baking dish.

Pour the creamy sauce over the chicken and broccoli, ensuring everything is evenly coated.

Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce is bubbly.

Remove the foil and broil for an additional 2-3 minutes to brown the top.

Serve your Chicken Divan hot with your choice of sides.

95/100.

One of those days where I'm feeling overwhelmed by chores and don't know where to start. You ever have those days? You feel kind of paralyzed and end up doing nothing, right? I'm finding what helps me is to start in the corner of the kitchen with dishes and go from there.

First, I clear off my drying rack area:

It wasn't bad today, just a couple of things. The mug stays there; it's what I put cutlery in to dry. The yogurt container is for compost.

Next, I have to finish filling up my dishwasher and running it.

I got a new countertop mini-dishwasher recently because my old dishwasher stopped working and I couldn't keep up with hand-washing. The old dishwasher is pretty old--over 15 years old, probably. I didn't think it was worth getting repaired. However, I wasn't sure I wanted a new full-size dishwasher to replace it. My eldest child just went off to university this year and my youngest child is only with me part-time. The rest of the time I'm by myself. Do I really need a full-size dishwasher for 1.5 people? Also, I'm really thinking ahead to possibly downsizing at some point. Plus, I didn't want to deal with having to get a plumber to install a new unit at this time. So, I decided to try this cute little thing. It was on sale. (I can't remember the price off the top of my head, I think it came to about $300 CAD including taxes and shipping?) Jury is still out on whether it was a good buy. It's VERY small. But I knew it would be mainly for dishes and cutlery, not pots and pans. I'm okay with hand-washing a few things, just needed a little extra helping hand so I wasn't drowning in dishes every day. So from that standpoint, it's fulfilling its purpose.

Lol, I know the before and after pics look the same but I DID squeeze a few more things into the dishwasher. What's left is mostly things that just need to be rinsed out: my Turkish coffee pot and French press, a pot I steamed veggies in, a takeout container that will go in the trash.

In clearing off the stovetop I discovered I still had about a half cup of coffee left in the French press. Woohoo! Yay me! ☕

In the sink I have: a cat food tin and a meat tray (the brown stuff is just coffee grounds). These go in recycling but I like to wash things out before putting in the recycling bin so that things don't get stinky in there because a) stinky recycling is 🤢 and b) it won't attract raccoons and rats that way.

Now, I have to take a break from dishes for a minute to deal with laundry. I had put this laundry outside to dry the other day but I want to run it through air fluff in the dryer to suck out lint and soften the fabric up a bit.

That big box with what looks like a little doorway is what the mini-dishwasher came in. My cat loves it! His own personal little fort. 😆 I guess I'm keeping it for now.

Here he is enjoying his privacy:

Ok, back to the kitchen, I have a pot roast I wanted to put in the crockpot for dinner. Hopefully it's not too late!

Oops! I forgot about the max 10 photos per post. Stay tuned for my next post if you want to see the pot roast!

I made a badass new chili recipe yesterday in the crockpot. Someone on a discord server I'm in posted the recipe and I had to try it.

The chili is a vegan apple chili. Absolutely delicious and full of great nutrients with the variety of things in it. It was super easy to throw everything together to cook for 6 hours.

Definitely check it out if you love chili. I'm excited to explore more recipes from this site.

My friend also reminded me that cornbread exists so I decided to make that for the first time. Growing up, my Grandma would always make sweet cornbread. I don't know why it always intimidated me to make it myself, but I'm glad I did. This sweet cornbread came out amazing and paired perfectly with the chili. It was like I brought my childhood cornbread back, but even more improved since I made it from scratch. Growing up they always used the Jiffy box with added sugar.

This recipe worked perfectly. I had to cook it and additional 10 mins to make sure it all got cooked throughout, but it came out so well when done. Had to resist eating it all yesterday so there'd be some with the chili leftovers today.

I can't recommend these recipes enough. It was so satisfying making two new things and they came out so well. The cooking adventure this weekend was a success. Can't wait to see what's next.

Okay, I'm from New Orleans. I've made jambalaya before but never in a slow cooker, so I found this recipe and gave it a shot.

It took a while to find a recipe that didn't have too many tomato products or things i wouldn't really associate with a true southern jambalaya - this one has crushed tomatoes but i didn't use the full can. if it comes out too red, i just don't see it as jambalaya

my obstacle - i started before I realized there weren't any serving/amount instructions on the recipe page. whoops! so, i decided to wing it.

the result - not bad!! i let it cook on low for 6 hours then added the rice and did a half hour on high but the rice wasn't done so i did 20 more minutes on low.... still not done (always an issue now that i live in Denver) but the overall taste is good!! i'm letting it cook on low a while more and will have another bowl.

Probably won't do this one again, and it's got nothing to do with the recipe and everything to do with my skills and that i've never been able to get new orleans food to taste right cooking it anywhere else !!
