You know how you take that shot and the sun rays hit you just perfectly? Like ahhhhhh.... angels sing... yeah that up there. What a nice weekend I had. All the things that make a weekend great... relaxing, family, kids, a fun activity here or there, tattoos, a little shopping, pumpkins and a home cooked meal. So this is going to be a quick photo re-cap of the goings on of my weekend and a recipe.
Wash your chicken performing your basic body cavity search to remove the little gift pack of innerds they give you. Now if you know what to do with necks, giblets, hearts and livers knock yourself out. I toss that shit before I hurl at the sight of it. Gross. Put your bird in the crock pot and cover with water. I add a couple bay leaves, poultry seasoning, garlic, salt and pepper to the water. Cover it and cook on High for about 6 hours or low for maybe 8. I don't really know here. I just know if I turn it on in the morning it's done at dinner time.
I just make simple drop in dumplings but if you have time or desire you can certainly make the old fashioned ones that you roll out and cut. They are awesome! You can also find them in the frozen section at the grocery store ready to drop in the broth. But here is the recipe for the cheaters version! So you drop those bad boys i the broth on high, cover and cook for 20 mins then ladle it into a bowl and slurp it up. My kids love this too and it makes a ton of leftovers. All around win, win.
And here are some random pics cause I was a good blogger.
Happy Monday.
