Cooked up a Twofer!!
Yesterday, I asked for some slow cooker and cook-ahead recipes. I got many good suggestions! Thank You!!

While they were piling into my notebook, I did some cooking. Since I was in the kitchen, I decided to make it count by knocking off a few meals at one time.

I made
"Thick and Hearty Minestrone SoupOpen in new Window., it says it serves ten, so that will get us through a couple of meals. I am also going to freeze a meal's worth so we can stretch it out and use it up without wasting any.

While the minestrone was simmering away for last night's dinner, I prepped dinner for today

"Slow Cooker Honey Garlic ChickenOpen in new Window.This is a try-it-and-see. This is the first time I'm making it, so hopefully we enjoy it!

I did modify the recipe. The original calls for putting the chicken in the slow cooker raw and whole. I cubed and browned it a bit, then made the sauce and used it to deglaze the pan. I put the meat and sauce in a container to marinate overnight. I'll get it into the slow cooker later today. This should be good for multiple meals. I plan on serving it with vegetable fried rice.
