Crock Pot Sweet and Tangy Chicken

This was good, and certainly an easy crock pot meal, but it needed a little extra flavor. Will try to 'gussy it up' next time.

Crock Pot Sweet and Tangy Chicken

32 ounces chicken (breasts or thighs or mixture)

1 bottle (18 oz) BBQ sauce

1 can (20 oz) pineapple chunks, undrained

1 medium green pepper, chopped

1 medium onion, chopped

2 garlic cloves, minced

Hot cooked rice

Place ½ of the chicken in bottom of crock pot. Combine the BBQ sauce, pineapple (with juice), green pepper, onion and garlic. Pour half over chicken. Then repeat with the other half of chicken and the sauce. Cover and cook on low for about 5 hours or until the temperature reaches 165 degrees. You may thicken the sauce with a little corn starch slurry. Serve over rice.

Lunch with Zac

We enjoyed a special holiday lunch with dear Zac. Soooooo good to get to spend time with him. Plus we had present to give him! :)

A cold, but pretty day.

Mav using the cane from the mud room that he always plays 'Grandpa Jack' with PLUS, using Grandpa Jack's cane that he brought with him! A double cane play time! :D

Mav is Grandpa Jack twice! :D

Christmas Evening

December 25, 2022

Again, no notes and a few years ago... soooo... here goes. :)

I remember that while Hannah was hanging the greenery and stockings, Mav was sliding down the stairs. :D

I love this photo of Daddy and Jonathan. Daddy was really happy to see Jonathan doing so well after his surgical procedure. Jonathan was picking up some food to take home since he still wasn't fully up to par. But he was doing well!
