What's for Dinner- Crock Pot Chicken Marsala

I love a good Crock Pot meal. With my busy schedule, I've been trying to dedicate at least one day a week to cooking that way. This was probably one of the quickest chicken meals I have ever made. I served it with a garlic rice (Uncle Ben's) that I will NEVER buy again. I love garlic, but this way overkill. The smell was overwhelming, so I knew it was going to be potent. But the chicken ended up nice and moist, so it wasn't a total loss. And at 189 calories per serving how can you go wrong? Want to try it?

4 - 5 oz. boneless skinless chicken breasts

1/4 c. all-purpose flour

1/2 tsp. salt

1/4 tsp. pepper
1/2 tsp. dried basil
1/2 c. marsala wine
1/2 c. low sodium chicken broth
2 T. butter, broken into small pieces (margarine is ok)
8 oz. fresh mushrooms, sliced

1. Put the chicken breasts in a 5 quart crock pot. They can go in frozen, but make sure they don’t overlap as much as possible.

2. Mix the flour, salt, pepper, and basil, and sprinkle over the chicken.

3. Pour the wine and broth into the crockpot.

4. Dot the butter over the chicken and dump the mushrooms on top.

5. Cook Low for 6 hours.

6. When the 6 hours are up, take the chicken out and place on the serving dish. Stir the sauce a little, and spoon the sauce over the chicken.

7. Serve over pasta of your choice or rice.

Bon Appétit!

Easy Baby Sweater and Hat

After searching and attempting to create the perfect - and quick/easy - baby sweater to give as a gift, I finally just combined a few to make the one I wanted. This particular one is more what I would envision for a girl (regardless of color) because of the lacy pattern created with the shells. My next step to find/create one for a boy. This one is simple enough to work up quickly. I only have a few hours of crochet time at night and I completed the set within 3 days. I imagine if you had half a day you could easily finish it in one setting, depending on your skill level. Sweater Materials: 3-4 ounces 3 ply baby yarn Hook - size F for newborn size G for 3 to 6 months size H (and 4 ply soft yarn) for 6 to 9 months 2-3 button for closure Pattern: (Shell = 2 dc, ch 1, 2 dc) Starting at neckline, loosely ch 38. Row 1: sc in 2nd ch from hook & in each ch to end. (37 stitches) Row 2: ch 2, turn (counts as 1st dc throughout) 1 dc in each of t

Organize It - Shoe Rack Grips

Do we really need all these shoes? You can only wear one pair at a time. I guess it's a necessary evil. Shoes aren't my thing. I have more flip-flops and athletic shoes than anything else. I'm happy with that. My favorite shoes are actually my slippers. I could wear them all day and would wear them out if I thought I could get away with it. My hubby, on the other hand, can't have enough shoes. Our youngest K takes after him. We have a fairly large rack for our shoes in the closet to accommodate all those shoes. It's nothing fancy and fulfills my two requirements. It's functional and doesn't take up a lot of space. But there is one huge flaw. Our shoes don't stay put! It ok for shoes that have heels on them because they hang on the back bar. Shoes like this: But if they are flat, like tennis shoes or flip flops (like most my shoes) then they slip right off and I trip over them trying to get to my clothes. What's a girl to do? I

Crocheted Adventure Time Fiona Hat

Well, my cosplaying kid asked for another crocheted creation, but I don't watch Adventure Time. I wasn't sure what I was getting myself into, but this was easy enough and I get to share a free pattern with you. It straps around the chin with a crocheted button and I had the yarn stashed away. I love projects that use up leftover yarn, don't you? I started out with Lilana Wofsey Dohnert's Finn hat pattern on Ravelry. She's brilliant. Then I made adjustments to make it Fiona and fit a bit more snugly.
