Crockpot Wednesday, Gravy and the KCousins!

Last week, Dillons had chicken thighs and drumsticks on sale B1G1, so I picked up a couple. I originally thought I would have E bbq them, but then I decided they'd be great for the crockpot today. I wanted to do something different than just dumping them in with bbq sauce, so I found this recipe for Crockpot Sticky Chicken.

Why is it called sticky chicken? Absolutely no idea.
Of course, I never follow any recipe exactly. Obviously, I didn't use a whole chicken and I mixed my minced onion with the dry ingredients. I rubbed each piece down really well and threw them in the crock pot on low.

Then I sat down to nurse the baby.
Then I remembered I forgot the garlic powder.
So I just sprinkled dried minced garlic on top and called it good.

This was done after 7 hrs and the smell had my mouth watering! I made some mashed potatoes, some green beans and decided to try my hand at gravy. It's intimidating, ya know? I ladled out some of the drippings, added some corn starch and the water from boiling the potatoes.

Then I patted myself on the back because it turned out awesome! No lumps and I seriously wanted to drink it!
Then I called my mom to come over for dinner
because it was just that good!

Grocery shopping this week wasn't anything too exciting. At Walgreen's, I got this stuff for $4.76. I stopped back by a 2nd time and got some Free and Clear Tide, another box of tampons, a Blistex and 2 pieces of candy for $3.77.


Thurs nights are always waffle nights at our house. It's easy and that's at least one day a week that I don't have to plan dinner. Last week, I fixed Kelton's waffles up extra special with bananas and chocolate sauce. At least they were whole wheat waffles, right? :)


Katie is such a little momma, always nursing, rocking and singing to her babies. Yesterday when I was wearing Konnor in a sling, she wanted to wear her baby too. I knotted up a blanket, but I think I'm going to have a get her a sling so she can easily put them on herself when she wants. She's just too cute!


I saved the most fun for last! Last night we got a visit from the K Cousins (Uncle Shawn and Aunt Carrie too)!! We had a lot of fun playing, eating watermelon and visiting the pond. We can't wait to play some more over the long weekend!
