New Favorite for Lunch

I think I have a new favorite for Lunch at least, if not a quick dinner meal. Cyril wanted corn dogs, and I must confess I wanted one too, since I only had the unapproved, non-gluten free corn dogs, he got 1 and I got none. lol.  So I was a good girl and cooked up a chicken breast, which is Feingold Approved, Gluten Free AND Weight Watchers friendly. Can't get any better then that now can I?

The chicken is thru Schwan's called Live Smart Chicken Breast.  It's about 13.99 a bag BUT before you have a heart attack about the price, it's the only chicken breast that I know of that uses water instead of broth AND when you cook it up, it doesn't shrink to 1/2 it's size. You most certainly get what you pay for.  I also cooked up the last of the Oreda Tater Tots.  They are gluten free, but alas are NOT Feingold Approved so after today, we must bid good-bye to our family favorite tater tot. Now I'm on the hunt for a good tater tot, that's both GF and Feingold Approved.

Great new blog!!

Last week, on one of the online support groups I'm a part of, sent a link to a great new blog.  The reason why it's so great is for several reasons. 1. She uses her crockpot all the time, I'm starting to become in love again with mine. lol.  2. She wrote a WHOLE year of GF recipes using her crockpot, and now has quite a bit more recipes to add.  It's been great looking over her blog. 3. There are pretty easy for novice cooks.

Here's the link.  You'll start to see more of her recipes on this blog.

Here's one from her blog that we used the other night. It got mixed reviews at my house, but that's not really surprising. lol.

Applesauce Chicken
by Stephanie O'Dea
The Ingredients.

--4 frozen chicken breast halves or thighs (I used 2 of each)
--1 1/2 cups of applesauce(use your own, or already made. I used my own)(Stage 2)
--1 T dried onion flakes, or 1 yellow onion, chopped finely
--1 T apple cider vinegar (Stage 2)
--1/4 tsp cinnamon
--1/2 tsp black pepper
--2 cloves garlic, minced
--1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (optional, I used them, and added more to the adult servings)



The Directions.



A 3 or 4 quart crockpot is the best size for this, but I did use a 6 quart. If your pot cooks fast, err on the lower end of cooking time.


I used my own applesauce, which for those of you on the FG (Feignold Diet -Stage 2).


Put the frozen chicken pieces into your crockpot. Add the onion (if you are using the dried onion, wait and add it to the applesauce). In a bowl, mix the applesauce, vinegar, garlic, and spices together. Pour on top of the chicken.


Cover and cook on low for 5-7 hours, or on high for 3-4.
Serve with rice or quinoa
