We love your many comments and recipes...here's one from Liz.
“I think your site is fabulous…I work full time as a yacht Chef/Stewardess in the Bahamas…You ladies are an inspiration…I included a quick fun recipe!” Best of Luck, Liz
The “I don't feel like cooking…Quick Crockpot Chicken!"
• 1 c salsa (homemade or jar is fine, too)
• 3 smashed cloves of fresh garlic (go back to bed if you are considering using the stuff in the jar, you know it's flavorless, don't kid yourself)
• 3 chopped chipotles in adobo sauce plus 2 T sauce (more if you want extra heat)
Try not to serve luke warm!
No real work required!
