Moms' Coffee Date

Are you reading the title and thinking, "What is so easy about making this? I can buy it at the store." I did too the first time I tried to make this. Ever since I made this, I have never looked back. You can make your own chicken in the crockpot for dinner. I usually do that. I use  100 Days of Real Food 's The Best Whole Chicken in a Crock Pot recipe. I like it, but sometimes the chicken turns out dry, and my family complains. Sometimes I made the chicken just so I could make the chicken stock suggested with this recipe. Yesterday, I bought a rotisserie chicken while grocery shopping in the morning for last night's dinner. I had an idea. I reheated it about a half hour/45 minutes before dinner in the crockpot on high. I put the whole chicken with all of it's juices in there. I have never heard of doing this before, and thought I would try it! If you have, hats off to you! And why didn't you tell me? ;) Let me tell you, it worked out great!...

I've been reading these Friday Favorites posts on my favorite bloggers sites, and this Friday, I decided we should join in! Sara's Favorite #1 and Fall Bucket List Item! Let's kick it off with Fall TV Premiere Week! That is absolutely a favorite! I have been waiting all summer to get some episodes of some of my favorite shows and check out some new ones! I am most excited for Modern Family, Brooklyn Nine-Nine and The Middle to begin again. Except The  Middle isn't coming back until October 11th?!? Ugh! The waiting continues! I also was excited to check out some new shows! I watched Kevin Can Wait and The Good Place and This Is Us. Kevin Can Wait makes it on my maybe list. The Good Place was cute! But somehow missing something. I am up for waiting to see how that one turns out. This Is Us is seriously amazing. Not to overstate it, but I was blown away. Please watch this if you can. GREAT show. #FallBucketListMCD Sara's Favorite #2 Clothes for ...

Hi everyone! Grab your favorite device and cup of coffee, and settle in for some recipe advice! I don't know about you, but I see recipes on my Facebook feed or Pinterest boards all the time that I find intriguing. I have tried a few, but they are not always worth it. My kids are picky eaters, and not to sound too clichè, but who has the time to make a dinner, not to mention one that you bothered to invest your time and energy in that no one likes??  When you go to the trouble to make a dinner for your family, you want everyone to enjoy it. So, you fall into the trap that I often do, which is trying something new that has ingredients your family generally likes. So, recently, I saw this Chicken Caprese recipe from Delish at  http://www.delish.com/cooking/recipe-ideas/recipes/a47169/caprese-chicken-recipe/ in my Facebook feed as shared by a friend. I decided it looked worthy of trying. Here is my attempt at making it and photographing the steps! Keep reading to see what ...
