Lemon Herb Chicken Ring

I printed out this recipe back in June and just made it tonight.
Jasmine loved it because it reminded her of my chicken blobs.
Bret said it was ok but reminded him too much of the chicken blobs (which he doesn't care for)
and Alex gave it a 6-7

I thought it was yummy and pretty!

I spoke too soon.

Bret now loves the Mississippi Mud Bars and called them a "do-over"

Maybe he just ate the first ones too quick and they needed more time to set up in the fridge.

Slow Cooker Chicken with Rosemary, Apples and Onions

http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/robin-miller/slow-cooker-chicken-with-rosemary-apples-and-onions-recipe/index.html


We made a few adaptions. I didn't use fresh rosemary. I also used 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts and then some dark meat that I had in the freezer.

The house smelled so yummy.
Jasmine gave it an A but she loves RICE
Bret liked it
Alex didn't like it but he was having a hard time with math a few minutes before we ate and I think his mood was negative because of that!
