Easy Crock Pot Chicken Curry

This is so easy and tasty. 

It's a nice go-to recipe when

 you don't have time to fuss. 

I was staying at our North Carolina condo for a few

 days to pack our things after our sale. There was 

nothing in the kitchen pantry to use for dinner, 

but with a quick run to the store for a few basic

ingredients I had dinner in the crock pot in 

5 minutes. So nice not to have to stop everything

 after a busy day to go out to eat. We could relax.

It's definitely hurry curry. 

This recipe is so simple. Just 4 ingredients 

go in the crock pot and the coconut milk is

added at the end, after it's cooked. So easy. 

 You can use any cut of boneless chicken; thighs, 

breasts, or tenders. The salsa adds all the flavor 

you need. I used medium salsa and there was

 just enough heat. Chicken tenders were on sale

so that's what I used this time. The coconut milk

gives it a smooth creamy finish. You could also

substitute that with 1 C sour cream in a pinch. 

 Give everything a good stir. Cover and cook,

about 5-6 hrs on Low or 3-4 hrs. on High

 Stir in the coconut milk. 

 Heat a few minutes. 

 If you love curry, using the crock pot, 

and easy dinners this will be a favorite. 

 Serve over rice.

Who knew salsa and curry would make

 such a great team.

Crock Pot Roast In Golden Mushroom Wine Sauce

This souper-easy pot roast will satisfy 

your need for yummy comfort food. 

It takes only 5 minutes to put together. 

I used the crock pot, but when I was given this

recipe from a relative, crock pots weren't even

on the market yet. That's how old this one is.

I love the memories behind each recipe I've

been given. They're the best "souvenir". 

So, you can make this pot roast in the 

crock pot or in the oven. I've given cooking

times for each option. 

The Golden Mushroom soup and sherry wine are

what make this recipe different from others.  

I always use the dry sherry (not cooking sherry) 

in this recipe.. I use it in several other recipes 

as well, but it's also suitable to drink.

 Mix everything together in the crock pot 

then add the meat. 

 Turn it over to coat 

both sides with sauce.

 My favorite: cover and know that 

dinner is taken care of and the house

will smell amazing when we walk in. 

 I love mashed potatoes with this dinner. 

They are so worth the effort, but if you're

short on time, you can microwave a potato.

There's plenty of gravy to ladle over 

everything. Carrots always seem appropriate 

with pot roast for me. I just microwaved 

them, then added butter, salt and pepper
