Green Monster Smoothy Recipe

Healthy is all the rage! This super healthy Green Monster Smoothy contains 1 whole serving of fruit AND vegetables for the day. My kids weren't real excited about drinking a green smoothy but when I told them it was a special Halloween treat and it was called the Green Monster Smoothy they were interested.

Potluck Chicken Stew

Potluck Chicken Stew
Oh my gosh, I made the BEST crock pot potluck chicken stew last night. I just had to share it. We had a super busy day and my son had a potluck dinner to the boys choir group he belongs to. I taught school all day so I knew there was NO way I was going to be able to get home in time to make something in the oven to take to the potluck. So what did I do? You guessed it, I pulled out the old crock pot and I used it instead of the oven. It was a hot and hearty main dish that got all sorts of rants and raves. SIDE NOTE: I doubled the recipe because if the amount of people I needed to feed. Here's the recipe!

Pot Luck Chicken Stew Ingredients:



  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 package (16 ounces) frozen vegetables for stew
  • 1 jar (12 ounces) chicken gravy
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/4 teaspoon rubbed sage
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
Directions:

1) In a large saucepan, brown chicken in oil over medium heat for 4-6 minutes or until no longer pink. Drain if necessary.

2) Put cooked chicken into a slow cooker stir in the remaining ingredients. Set on low for 5 - 6 hours. 

That's it!! That all there is to it. I even put mine together the night before and refrigerated it over night. The next morning I get it and forget it. When I got home I had a wonderful mean to 
take to the potluck.
