Autumn Cookin'...

I had to share one of my all time favorite dishes with you all, it's so simple to make and takes about 15 minutes prep work.  We love leftovers here in our house so I double up on ingredients.  The best part of a crock pot is you really cant overcook anything, which I'm definitely guilty of.  So here it is, super yummy and super easy for those busy days or cold nights! My measurements are estimates since I usually just throw it all together as I go with what I have in the fridge.

Package of Chicken Thighs/Breast 
(About 5 Thighs, also you can use beef)

2 Cups Diced Carrots

2 Cups Diced Celery

1 Sweet Onion Sliced 

About 5 Russet Potatoes Cubed or Quartered

3 Cups of Water

Chicken Broth (condensed) About A Can

Season As Much or As Little As You'd Like! 



If I have the time before dinner I'll make a side of rice for the chicken. If it's beef I'll leave the potatoes out and make mashed potatoes later. We tend to like a lot of pepper so adjust to your taste! I let that slow cook on HIGH for about 6 - 7 Hours occasionally peeking in on it making sure all the veggies are taking a long hot bath. I seriously love cold weather cooking, and on a night like tonight when it's rainy and cold it's so nice to have a hot meal waiting to warm those tummies!  And who doesn't love the smell of it filling the house?  

Enjoy those Crockpots and let them do the work for you! Happy Fall Y'all!
