Slow Cooker Cowboy Butter Chicken Orzo

 

Slow Cooker Cowboy Butter Chicken Orzo

I forgot to get a picture of dinner again, its crazy now that Linc is 1 in a week so I hardly have time to cook, let alone take pictures lol. 

I made this recipe exactly as written, and we loved it. Ethan said I definitely need to make it again. My slow cooker finished cooking the chicken around 2-2.5 hours, it was super fast. Then the orzo took 40 minutes. So good and so flavorful!

Meatloaf with Herbed Rice & Veggies

 

Meatloaf with Herbed Rice & Veggies

Linc is almost 1 year old, and I still am not cooking as much as I was! This was just a basic 2lb meatloaf recipe with microwaved rice and steamed/microwaved veggies. Super good and pretty easy, the hardest part is waiting an hour for the meatloaf to be done.

Pork Tacos

 

Pork Tacos

So this started out being Easy Pork Carnitas, but I kept not being able to make dinner because of the baby....so Craig ended up just smoking the meat with seasonings. I think he used a fajita seasoning and some sort of chipotle seasoning. It was really good! So I just made tacos with cheese, lettuce, cilantro, onions and Cholula Chipotle Cremosa sauce. Super good and flavorful!

Here is the recipe for Pork Carnitas from Damn Delicious that we were going to make 

Parmesan Garlic Spaghetti from Damn Delicious

 

Parmesan Garlic Spaghetti

Super easy and delicious of course! My husband loved it, but he said it wasn't super filling.....which was suprising with all the butter and carbs lol. Next time maybe I'll serve it as a side to some chicken, but he did ask me to make it again which is actually kind of a rare thing. But it is a Damn Delicious recipe and he seems to always love those. I made it as written.

The broccoli was just steamable frozen broccoli with some Kinders Woodfired Garlic seasoning.

Sheet Pan Crunchwrap Supreme

 

Sheet Pan Crunchwrap Supreme

I broiled it literally for 1 minute and it burned, argh. Still tasted good, I scraped off the mostly burned parts. I made the recipe almost exactly as written, except I used red onions instead of green because I already had some cut up. I'd defintely make again, just maybe broil it for like 20 seconds!

Parmesan Garlic Chicken with Tortellini and Veggies

 

Parmesan Garlic Chicken with Tortellini and Veggies

This was so good! I did do it a little differently because I was just cooking it on the stove and in the oven, rather then on a griddle like the recipe called for. I made the tortellini using the instructions on the package, and I cooked the veggies in the cast iron skillet after removing the chicken for all that extra flavor. Then I mixed the veggies & tortellini, and instead of Italian vinaigrette, I used some of the Buffalo Wild Wings Parmesan Garlic sauce.

For the chicken I butterflied it then I sprinkled it with salt and pepper. The breadcrumb coating was a mixture of Texas Toast croutons, panko, and grated parmesan. I then browned it on both sides, added a slice of mozzarella and put it in a 400 degree oven for like 6 minutes. The chicken was thin so it was done early. I had forgotten to put the BWW sauce on before the breadcrumbs, so I just drizzled some on before I put it in the oven.

It was delicious, and my son loved it so much he pretty much ate all the chicken himself lol. My husband had a serving, he was it was okay. Like always lol. My son also ate most of the veggies the day after to!

Cheesy Crockpot Meatball Pasta

 

Cheesy Crockpot Meatball Pasta

Super easy and delicious, a nice change from just my regular spaghetti recipe. Usually frozen meatballs aren't that great, but this brand was really good....we were impressed! The only change I made was I added an onion, because I had one already chopped. I liked that it was pretty much dump and go, without being too salty and generic like most easy crockpot recipes are.
