Day 7

Today I am thankful for crockpots. Yes, that is right...the crockpot. I have 2 of these bad boys and I don't go very often without using one of them for cooking our dinner. I don't know, there is just something wonderful about putting something in the crockpot in the morning and coming home and having a meal cooked when you are ready to eat it. Today I threw in frozen chicken breasts and covered them with salsa. The chicken gets so tender that you can shred it and put in in tortillas for soft tacos or over rice or just plain. I made this barley and corn casserole the other night (a weight watchers recipe) and we are going to eat that with the chicken. J is very good and even liked the barley casserole. I could hardly believe it. The crockpot helps me stay eating healthy because if it is a long day, I don't have to figure out what to cook and then snack the whole time I am fixing dinner. God bless the Crockpot!
