Southwestern Crock pot Chicken



Just wanted to share a new dish I came up with and my family loved. Enjoy!


This recipe makes a lot and can be frozen for another night or even 2 depending on your family size.

Ingredients....
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2-8oz cans tomatoe sauce(can use chunky tomatoes if you want)
1 package of taco seasoning
1/2 cup fresh or frozen pineapple chunks cut into small pieces
1 to 2 cup frozen corn
1  can kidney beans
2 tbls brown sugar
garlic salt to taste

Directions....
Place chicken in crock pot. Mix all other ingredients in a large bowl and pour over the chicken. Cook 4-5 hours. Chicken can be served as is with a scoop of the bean mixure. Or shred it and mix back in and make awesome burittos, just add cheese and any other stuff you like. Yummy!

My first time

         My first time made me have dry mouth and sweaty hands. My heart pounded so hard I thought it would come out of my chest. I didn't even recognize my own voice. It took me 30 years to get brave enough to do it.

    
     That's right the first time I ever sang in front of a crowd was not only terrifying but fantastic! I was hooked in a matter of seconds. Ok, so it may have only been Karaoke and the crowd may have had no choice but to listen, but I loved the feeling of performing and every time is just as exhilarating.
  
      Since that time I have performed with a very talented women (Liz Solomon http://www.lizsolomon.com/album.php ) with her originals at the Melody tent and on other stages, but honestly I still get a big kick out of Karaoke. Maybe it's because it was my first experience, maybe it's because I can share the feeling with other Karaoke junkies or maybe it's just because it is simply a good time with friends. What ever the reason I will always enjoy it and certainly suggest everyone try it once. Even if you are horrible you will get a big kick out of it and a terrific memory to laugh about for years to come.
