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 ...

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.   Materials : Crochet Hook (Size US G-6 (4.0mm)) Yarn Worsted Weight Size 4 Medium ('Soft' recommended) Yarn Sewing Needle Fiberfil Batting Abbreviations : st: stitch ch: chain sl st: slip stitch sc: single crochet hdc: half-double crochet dc: double crochet tr: triple crochet inc: increase (crochet 2 st in single st; preceeded by type of st to use, i.e. 'sc inc') dec: decrease (make 2 st become 1; preceeded by type of st to use, i.e. 's...

Start Running!

Many of you have asked me how I got started with running.  Well, let me tell you!  This was no easy task.  My motto used to be "No one should run unless they are being chased."  Seriously.  Not only could I NOT run, I had always been told I would not ever be ABLE to run.  I have what's called physical activity induced asthma.  How is this different?  It means that any type of physical exertion can cause an asthma attack.  Lucky me!  I found this out when I was on the swim team as a child and pretty much sat everything out from there. Currently, I work with a young woman who has truly inspired me to run and she also has asthma (although not the same kind).  You can check out her blog here .  But it wasn't until October of 2010, when another co-worker started running and my thyroid was at an all time low, that I finally said, "get off your butt and go try it!"  And I did, along with my 14-year-old daughter.  And every ...
