In case you haven't figured it out yet, in order to use the meals that are frozen, take them out of the fridge about 20 minutes before you plan on using them. Then, just put in the crockpot and go (unless there are other directions on the spreadsheet). So easy!
Anyway, after work, the house smelled lovely - but not really like BBQ. I opened the crock and shredded the chicken quickly. I made up some couscous and served it on top. This would also be yummy on rice, on a bun as a sandwich, or by itself. It looked like this:
Yum!
The sweet potatoes were a yummy touch to this recipe. It gave it a little sweetness and some depth. I cut the zucchini too small, so it was falling apart. At any rate, the flavor was good, but I don't know that I would call it BBQ. There wasn't much of a sauce, and what was there didn't taste much like a traditional BBQ sauce. I think in the future I either need to make or buy a BBQ sauce to add to this - or maybe use in place of what the recipe calls for. The husband had a migraine, so he has yet to try it. The six year old loved it, and ate every morsel. All in all, a tasty (but bland) recipe.
Have I ever told you that I think you're brilliant?
ReplyDeleteI've wanted for a long time to use my crockpot, just never found recipes I liked and didn't spend enough time looking for them. You're so wise to plan ahead and do all of your shopping at once. And the meals look wonderful.
Why thanks! :) Some of the recipes have been real gems - and some...not so much. :)
