So playing the trombone wasn't getting me in enough trouble?

I need someplace to write down the often confusing thoughts that enter my mind, while my stories give voice to the characters that wander through periodically, this is the place for my voice. Join me if you wish, comment if you wish, all are welcomed and appreciated.

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.
