This is one of those recipes that you think, "ok, this is either going to rock, or its going to be blah". Rocked!


Here is the link:
http://www.anniesrecipes.com/Recipe/...ue-Chicken.htm

Here are my changes:
*I used diet coke. (I have a diabetic in my house - ketchup has enough sugar!!)
*I used chicken thighs.
*I threw in a shallot, just because it was laying around.
*I put the ingredients in my slow cooker for 8 hours and then kept it on warm until dinner time. (at which time I added a smidge of sea salt)
*I served mine over brown basmati rice, which I added some onion to while it cooked.

I chose this recipe out of desperation. The cupboard was bare. When my Dad came down for breakfast, it had been cooking for an hour and his mouth was watering all day! If you are down to bare bones and need supper - try it.

Here's how to make a link at FC:

Hover your mouse over the "address" of the web page you want to make a link for. Right-click and choose "COPY." Then, type the words you want to turn into a link on the Family Corner reply window. Click and drag over the words to highlight them, and then choose the little icon up above the reply window that looks like a tiny globe with a chain link at the bottom. It will pop up a little box. Put your mouse in there and hit "Control" and V at the same time, and your link will be pasted right in.

Jodi, that looks really good! Thanks for the recommendation and noting that you can also slow-cook it. It would be great on a hot summer day

[CalGalInFla]

Thank you so much! It was tasty and yes, the slow cooker kept the kitchen cool. KEY at this time of year!!

Have a super day!

Barbszy, I copied the recipe for the cookies you made because they looked so good! I am definitely going to try them.

Now, on to a new search for another recipe to try!

[WendyMichelle]

I made the 2 layer pineapple upside down cake from Annie's recipes

http://www.anniesrecipes.com/Recipe/783/Two-Layer-Pineapple-Upside-Down-Cake.htm

I only made the one layer since it would be too much cake for us. It's still too hot to cut, so will post comments later after we eat it. I'll put a dollop of whipped cream on it.

I'm having problems getting it resized to fit on here. I took it with my digital camera & other photos taken with the same camera went on but this one won't go. Can someone help me figure it out?

[seleach]

Minny, I sometimes have to make mine smaller than I normally would. I don't know why that happens but it does.
