Help Yourself

This is what happens when mom just can't make dinner quick enough....

Noah has been known to help himself to the pantry.  Usually he goes for the bread, but this time I guess he decided to switch it up a little and enjoy some Baked Lays.  Trust me, by the time he was finished a good 1/4 of the bag was gone.  I'd say that's pretty substantial for such a small belly.  


I do feed him.  Really.  In fact, here is a little recipe for what we ACTUALLY had for dinner tonight.   I love anything that is a) chicken and b) cooked in the crockpot!  This checks both of those boxes, so of course it was a winner to me :) 


Pulled Chicken Slider Sandwiches

{Picture from Or So She Says}

• 3 chicken breasts
• 1/2 onion, chopped
• 2 garlic cloves, crushed
• 6 oz. can tomato paste
• 1 Tbsp cider vinegar
• 3 Tbsp prepared mustard
• 3 Tbsp brown sugar
• 12 slider sized rolls

1. Place 3 chicken breasts in the base of the slow cooker.
2. In small bowl, whisk together the tomato paste plus 2 cans worth of water, the cider vinegar, mustard, and brown sugar. Add a little salt and pepper is you wish. Add the chopped onion and crushed garlic to the sauce.
3. Pour sauce over chicken breasts. Set slow cooker to high and cook for 4-6 hours.
4. When chicken is finished in the slow cooker, scoop it out into a bowl and using 2 forks, “pull it” apart.
5. Scoop some sauce from the slow cooker and add until reaches your desired ‘sauciness.'  Serve on slider sized rolls and enjoy!

There is also a recipe for pineapple coleslaw on the link above, but I made my own variation.  

Coleslaw

1 bag coleslaw mix (found with prepackaged lettuce)
Sliced almonds
Dried cranberries
1 apple (cut and cubed)
Brianna's poppy seed dressing.

Mix all together (use your own desired amounts of almonds, cranberries and apple). Enjoy!
