Tasty Tuesday: Crock pot BBQ Chicken

 I thought I really liked MY BBQ chicken recipe -that was -until I tried Reagan's (sister #2).  We enjoyed this little number in Washington,  D.C. a couple of weeks ago.  Oh my! how delicious  it is.  The house smells so good when this little guy is cooking too.  

I hope you give this recipe a try even if you have one you already use.    :)

Celebrating with NauNa 

My first baby girl is now FIVE.  I'm not so happy about it either.  :(    She received some baking tools and has been begging me to use them.  Sunday since the weather was rainy and cold I decided we'd just have a baking afternoon.  She was ready to put her new hand mixer and mini muffin pan to use!!  She selected the recipe, gathered the ingredients and then went to work.  I, of course, helped a little but she mostly did it herself.  We had her muffins yesterday.

We are trying a few new to us recipes and I am really looking to them.  I hope everyone here likes them.  Here's to hoping...

Washington Monument under repairs from Earthquake, scheduled to reopen 2014

National Museum of Natural History (we do this pic once a year)

Last week we enjoyed our trip to Washington, D.C.  The weather was great for early March so that made it even better.  We packed our lunch and hit the road/metro during the day.  I have to say we go there at least twice a year so we don't have to rush around trying to see "all there is to see".   We pretty much take our time and decide the night before what we'll do the next day.   

We returned from DC late in the week then headed west to the mountains for a birthday party, my niece turned ONE-Happy Birthday Dagen!!  
While last week was busy and fun I am happy to be home and can return to our normal routine (whatever that is).  :)   Plus get back in my kitchen and cook/bake!

Eggplant Parmesan (vegan) served last week - Delicious!!!!

This afternoon I did a quick inventory of our deep freezer.  I hadn't done it in a while plus I wanted to make sure I hadn't forgotten about any meals I had prepped before Merritt arrived.  While I didn't discover any 'forgotten' meals I did forget about the stock of garden fresh corn and squash.  I filled (more than filled) a Trader's Joe's paper bag of creamed corn from my MILs garden last summer.  I guess I will be making some corn/creamed corn recipes in the coming weeks.    

Sunday the children and I leave for Washington DC.   I decided to make nuggets for Darrell one day this week so he doesn't think he is going through withdrawal (mostly of honey mustard sauce-I think).  ;)  I will also be making meals for him for next week.  I typically toss everything in the freezer (labeled) and leave a menu so he can see what his options are.  This way I know he eats for a week and also know it isn't frozen pizza every night.  Although I will say someone gave me a MIR (mail in rebate) for pizza so I bought him a frozen one from Whole Foods (I know he'll be thrilled).

Tasty Tuesday: Chocolate Syrup (homemade, of course!)

I am excited to share Heavenly Homemakers homemade chocolate syrup with you today.  It is so simple.  Now you don't have to buy the stuff with extras in it from the grocery store OR spend an arm and leg at the health food stores buying the "better for you kind."  You can have this whipped up ready to go in ten minutes or less depending on how hot your stove top runs!  ;) 

 Grab your 5 ingredients.  

Measure, pour and stir the first four.  

Boil for a minute, remove from heat

 add vanilla then enjoy your treat!

Homemade Chocolate Syrup

1 cup sucanat (you can use white refined)
1/2 cup cocoa
dash of sea salt
1 cup water
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Mix your sugar, cocoa, sea salt and water in a pan.  Whisk together and cook over medium-high heat until boiling occurs.  Allow mixture to boil for one minute.  Remove from heat, after cooling a bit add the vanilla.  Store in the refrigerator.     

Now how easy was that!  Pin It

Merritt Kennedy via Instagram

We have been overjoyed at the arrival of Merritt Kennedy.  We welcomed her bright and early Friday morning (2:27am).  Needless to say, that is why this post is a tad late. 
We have had friends reach out offering to bless our family with meals.  We are so grateful for their willingness to minister to our family.   Thank you ladies!!

Tasty Tuesday: Oven Baked Pancakes

 I like love simple Sunday dinners so when I found this I was most excited:  Oven Baked Pancakes.  Toss in a bowl, mix, pour, bake.  No slaving over a griddle/pan.  Yes, please, sign me up!!!

This morning while I was re-creating this recipe I meant to time myself to see how long it would take.  Well, I forgot to do that but I can assure you it isn't long!

Cast of Characters:

Add to bowl

Add dry ingredients-give a little stir

Mix in wet ingredients-stir 

Add fun mix-ins:  chocolate chips, fruit, cinnamon, etc

Pour in baking dish (9x13 or larger for less "thick" pancakes

Cut and serve

Ingredients:

2 1/2 c whole wheat flour (I use freshly ground hard white wheat)

2 T sucanat (white sugar would be fine)

2 t baking powder

1 t sea salt

1/2 c water + 4 T ground flax seeds (or 4 egg whites)

1/4 melted coconut oil (or 1/4 oil)

2 c liquid (I used 1 c coconut milk & 1 c water-just bring frugal here add 2 c milk if you like)

1/2 t pure vanilla extract

Optional Fun Add Ins: chocolate chips, banana slices (any fruit), cinnamon or nutmeg to taste 

Instructions

1. Mix dry ingredients then add your wet ingredients.

2. Pour the batter into a lightly coconut oiled/buttered dish (9 x 13 inches). 

3. Bake at 450° F for 12 minutes until  golden brown. 

4. Cut each whole wheat pancake into servings.  Or get cutesy and use a cookie cutter to create fun shapes!

5. Serve with fresh fruit and pure maple syrup, a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg, applebutter/pumpkin butter/applesauce...

Chocolate , Plain and Earth Balance Soy Free Buttered Popcorn

I am excited to share my popcorn with you.  Not really sure why.  Maybe because I remembered to buy some corns at Whole Foods while on a date night (I guess I could think clearly without kiddies).  Maybe because we haven't eaten any in over two years (Lawson never).  Who knows.  However, my family was so excited when I popped it Saturday night for "dessert".   I think the eating part was just as exciting as the watching it explode in the pot stove top!!  Needless to say,  I popped WAY too much but that's alright it's made a great snack.  The brown popcorn, I promise, is chocolate.  I tossed some mini chocolate chips in to melt at the last minute...sure satisfied my sweet tooth for the night!

Another fun thing I discovered Saturday is that you can bake pancakes.  Yes, bake pancakes!  Now why I am just now learning about this I have NO idea.  I can say I will probably never make normal pancakes again.  (Admittedly, I am a TERRIBLE pancake maker!) There's a program that my mother's business participates in called Rainbow In My Tummy  and I was looking at some of the recipes and found it.  I'll gladly share if there is interest mostly because I'll have to convert from a recipe serving size of 30 to something a bit more "normal" family sized.  ;)

Enjoy your week as you celebrate Valentine's Day!!

Tasty Tuesday: Quinoa Veggie Chili

Now this a hearty chili loaded with veggies and protein.  It makes plenty and freezes well too!  Just grab from freezer toss in crockpot and be on your way.     Yes, my kind of recipe!  

 In a medium sauce pan, combine the quinoa and water. Cook over medium heat until water is absorbed, about 15 minutes. Set aside.

 While quinoa is cooking....in a large pot, heat the olive oil over med-high heat. Add the onion and cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic, jalapeño, carrot, celery, peppers, and zucchini. Cook until vegetables are tender, about 10 minutes.

Add the black beans, kidney beans, tomatoes, and tomato sauce. Season with chili powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Stir in the cooked quinoa. Simmer chili on low for about 30 minutes or until desired warmness (yes, I made that up).

What you'll need:

• 1/2 cup quinoa
• 1 cup water
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 small onion, chopped
• 1 to 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 jalapeno pepper, diced (optional)
• 1 large carrot, chopped (yes, I leave the peel on!)
• 2 celery stalks, chopped
• 1 green bell pepper, chopped (grabbed from freezer)
• 1 red bell pepper, chopped (grabbed from freezer)
• 1 medium zucchini, chopped  (optional, have some in freezer but going to use for muffins)
• 4 cups (or so) black beans, cooked and drained
• 2 cups (or so) red kidney beans, cooked and drained
• 1 - 1 1/2 cans diced tomatoes
• 2 cups (or so)  tomato sauce (yes, I use homemade spaghetti sauce)
• 2 to 3 tablespoons chili powder, depending on your taste (I used 2-3)
• 1 tablespoon ground cumin
• Salt and black pepper, to taste
• Optional toppings ideas might be - green onions, avocado slices, cheese, sour cream, Greek yogurt, chips, crackers, etc.

How to make it

• In a medium sauce pan, combine the quinoa and water. Cook over medium heat until water is absorbed, about 15 minutes. 
• 
  
• While quinoa is cooking....in a large pot, heat the olive oil over med-high heat. Add the onion and cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic, jalapeño, carrot, celery, peppers, and zucchini. Cook until vegetables are tender, about 10 minutes.

Meal Plan: Feb 3 - Feb 9

Homemade Corn-dogs with carrots, apples and oranges

I was able to get a few things made for the freezer.  We had plenty of Taco Soup and Quinoa Veggie Chili (recipe tomorrow) that went into the freezer as well.  My brain isn't allowing me to remember what else I did last week (I am schooling two children while trying to get this posted).  

UPDATE:  I remembered!   Freezer additions: 3 quarts of spaghetti sauce  - 2 loaves of Cranberry Bread (recipe soon) - started a batch of cookies and bought 9 green bell peppers to chop and freeze as well.  Wouldn't you know we are almost out of all of the ones from the garden!?!  We do eat tons of peppers though so it only makes sense.  

Food this week:  I am using things (ie beans, veggies) leftover from last week in recipes this week.  I didn't want to freeze them and had rather use them up.   I only had to purchase fresh fruit and veggies (cabbage, kale, spinach, broccoli).  I also grabbed several cans of organic diced tomatoes from Aldi  as a stock up, can't beat $1.49 for 28oz. Meat is frozen and ready to go.  Coconut milk is low (only one gallon) I am going to have to order some or hold out for a "better sale" at HT or LFs.  Fingers crossed on that one!

Tasty Tuesday: Response to Comments

Poptarts

Before I respond to the comments I thought I'd say this:

I mentioned here that I would make Poptarts this week.  I made them Saturday afternoon.  As I started gathering ingredients Davis asked what I was making.  When I said poptarts she wrinkled her nose and asked what those were.  I got a kick out of that and told her she'd have to wait and see.  I wasn't so impressed and probably won't make them again any time soon.  There isn't anything "bad" about the recipe just other things we'd rather eat.  Lawson didn't approve at all and he eats ANYTHING!  Instead he begged for banana bread this morning which I had so that's what he ate.  Davis ate them just fine and would probably like them on special occasions.  

Sara:  Wow Morgan this is awesome. I would love to know more about your grocery budget..is it significantly higher? What store do you you buy most of your bulk? Also, alphabetically I totally agree. The only way it should be when you have that many. Also, what link is a referral link? You had several of them? Thanks for sharing :)

Our food budget is higher, yes.  Worth every penny?  Most definitely.  I love knowing exactly what I am serving my family (and guests).  Some months it is even more if I need to purchase grain, coconut milk or coconut oil since that runs close to and over $100 per purchase (not the milk).  

It depends on what I am buying as to where I purchase the bulk items.

Coconut Milk:  Whole Foods by the case lately.  They've had it on sale plus a WFs coupon AND they have the added bonus of 10% off if you purchase a case.  A case of So Delicious Coconut Milk (what we use) is 6 half gallons.  Right before Christmas I bought three cases at an amazing price.  While that milk is LONG gone and the awesome sale WF has still been running decent sales and put out another So Delicious coupon so that's where I've been getting it.  :)

Grain:  Yoder's Amish Market   When I'm there I usually pick up other random things they carry (spices and such) I might be low on.  While they are located in Salisbury and Blanch.  I make half day fun trips out of it during the week or we'll do a family Saturday trip to Blanch, NC.  Blanch is a nice two lane country drive so we take our time.  This location also has a little deli so we've picked up a snack there too.  

Spices:  Earth Fare, Whole Foods, Deep Roots Market Co-op  Depends.  EF has more of everything I need.  I feel like WF has a very limited selection.  Deep Roots-lots to choose from too- I just don't frequent there as often.

Sucanut:  I haven't found an unbelievable price on this very expensive sugar.  I scoop from the bulk department at EF and WFs for now.  Although Heavenly Homemakers does post when she or someone has spotted a good deal!  :)

Coconut Oil:  Vitacost or Tropical Traditions (depends which I need)

Dry Beans:  Not exactly in bulk but kinda.  Aldi, Walmart, Whole Foods or Earth Fare (looking for a serious bulk purchase of these but can't seem to locate anyone that beats the listed above, especially after shipping!)

Enjoy Life Chocolate Chips:  Thanks to Enjoy LIfe we can still enjoy chocolate chips.  My homemade ones melt too easy so these are a saving grace!  Amazon and Vitacost have both has specials on these (very rare).  The place I've purchased these the most is Target.  Actually, it's a Target in Arlington,  VA of all places.  My sister lives in DC so when we visit her I clear their shelf OR if she visiting and I am low she clears the shelf for me and brings them down.  :)  They are free of wheat/gluten, dairy, peanuts, tree nuts, egg, soy, fish or shellfish. Enjoy Life products are also made without casein, potato, sesame and sulfites .  Finally, they are made in a dedicated nut- and gluten-free.  

Referral link:  I'm sorry, that is for the Vitacost link.  If you go through my link you will receive $10 off your $30 purchase and I will too if you go through my link.  :)



Hana:  Hey Morgan, thanks for sharing. Where do you buy your chicken? We are buying a portion of a hormone/antibiotic free, grass fed cow from a local farm and I'd love to do the same with chicken. Would love to never have to purchase meat from a grocery store again.

I purchase our chicken from Fresh Market (usually only during the $2.99 lb chicken breast sell), or Summerfield Farms (WFs or EF just price depending!).  I'm not sure when they will be selling chickens again but I'm sure you could call to find out.  Summerfield Farms also sells beef and eggs.  They are grass fed ~ never fed antibiotics, hormones or animal by products. The hours are odd so make sure to you see their Facebook page for those.  



If you know any local sources please share.  I am currently looking for a great bee person for honey (obviously).  I know one person but would like to get some other prices especially since honey is so crazy expensive!!!
