Slow Cooker Barbecue Chicken ~ Mother's Day ~ Smilebox ~ Dee ~ Laura & Conrad ~ Limericks


Good 38º ice on the barn roof sunny morning.
Looks like it might be a good week to get my truck washed!

I love putting boneless skinless chicken breasts or thighs in my slow cooker with green or red enchilada sauce, but this recipe is a tad different. A real barbecue flavor. Serve on split rolls with coleslaw or plain with baked or mashed potatoes.


6 frozen skinless boneless chicken breast halves
12 oz bottle your favorite barbecue sauce
1/2 cup Italian dressing
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 T Worchestershire sauce
Put chicken in slow cooker. Mix the rest of the ingredients and pour over chicken. Cook 6-8 hours on low or 3-4 hours on high.

Half way through the cooking, shred the chicken with forks so the chicken absorbs all the flavor.

Yesterday was brunch at Brian and Jen's with Tucker Sami and Grandma Jean. We had cheese/jalapeno rolls, ham, turkey, cucumber, avocado, and some citrus champagne like beverage. GOOD!!!!! 



Sami helped make the desserts.... a puff pastry cup filled with whipped cream and fresh fruit. GOOD!!! 






Brian and Tucker played wii golf....
Brian wouldn't let any of us in the kitchen while he cleaned it all up. Thanks B!!!!



Sami is the gymnastics girl and never ever still......

Limerick Day celebrates the birthday of Writer Edward Lear (1812-1888).  It also, of course, celebrates Limerick poems. Limericks were popularized by Lear in 1846 in his Book of Nonsense".
This day is a time to enjoy and get your fill of Limerick poems. We are so glad that it came along to brighten up our lives. Celebrate Limerick Day in style by writing a Limerick or two of your own. Or, sit down and read a few humorous Limericks. They are guaranteed to make you smile.
A Limerick is a humorous verse or poem. It is five lines longs. It's name come from the city of Limerick, Ireland. The first two lines rhyme with the fifth line rhyme.  The third and fourth lines rhyme.
Did you know? Limerick is the third largest city in Ireland.



OK..... here we go....


There was a young girl from East L A
Her joy was cruising Bob's Drive-in and to eat off the tray.
A big boy and fries
Was the best of all prize
She also enjoyed taking ballet!

It looks like Jen is teaching Sami to be a culinary expert like her mommy and grandma! What a great looking dessert and healthy too!
Great sounding brunch but I wouldn't expect anything less from Jen.

Enjoyed Sami's gymnastics! She is so cute and love the pic at the end with that pretty hair.
