Because of Hurricane Ike some of the ingredients of my planned meals ended up eaten. We only lost power for about 36hours but all we could cook on was the stove so we had to make some adjustments. So there may be some repeated dishes on this menu also I am on the hunt for quality crock pot meals. We live a busy life (bi weekly co-op & handbells, field trips, Wednesday Church meetings, horseback riding, Church Sunday) and we need at least 2 crock pot meals a week to make my life easier! For some reason the great crock pot recipe writer in the U.S. thinks that crock pot food should equal bland! So there will be lots of experimental meals and I'll try to post some reviews. Now any meal that is just a whiz bang wonder (aka really tasty) I will list for the world. So far I've found a woman who has "crockpot Thursdays" & another with several a-typical crock recipes. So I will be stalking their sites to see what kind of tasty cuisine I can find!20th Saturday - Calzones with Sam' s Club Organic Baby greens,pine nuts, raisins, radish, carrot salad

OH MY GOSH! You got suave shampoo for .88 each!!!! You are such a Lucky Ducky, Where did you get it?
ok i am emailing you a delish recipe for Cashew chicken. Ok whatever i can't wait.
You need :
1 c. diced cooked chicken
1 c. finely diced celery
1/2 c. finely diced onion
1 can cream of mushroom
1 can bean sprouts (opt.)**
1 tsp. soy sauce
1 cup cashews Coarsely chopped
1 can Chow mein noodles.
Directions:
Place all ingredients except chow mein in 3 1/2 qt slow cooker
Cover and cook on low 5-6 hours, high 2-3 hrs.
Serve over chow mein**
*= i never have put bean sprouts in mine, i always forget them.
**= the Chow mein is about $1.34 for a carton, just drop in water for 3 min, just like ramen (you may be able to even substitute)
I make this dish for hope group all the time. This will make about 4 serving, i just double it.
oh and instead of soy sauce i use Braggs aminos, it has literally about 1000 mg's less sodium.
I really hope you like this.
Hi Kyle!
Great menus - I am in search of crock pot meals, too! We've never had a busier home school year and I need to use my crock pot. Have you heard of crockpot365.blogspot? I haven't explored her past posts yet - I've just been checking it daily right now. Don't you love Kelli's recipes at "No Place Like Home"? :-) See you Friday! :-)
Crock pots are wonderful! I have two that are in different sizes and if I were smart, I would use one every day!
Oh, and I am so taking that cashew chicken recipe carpiofamily!
LOL
Your menu plan looks delishious! Thanks for the links to the crockpot recipes, I love to use the crockpot when I'm working.
