Yes, It’s Christmas week and we are all very, very busy but don’t let down your efforts. This week add six desserts to your General Store. So many mixes, canned pie fillings, sugars and everything dessert related are on sale this week, so now is the time to stock up. Candy is also on sale and makes a great treat during an emergency. Chocolate will freeze well and candy coated chocolate will last a long time in any cool place.

Again, it’s also a great week for fast foods, not fast food, but foods which almost cook themselves and are ready at a moments notice. So here are a couple of recipes for the crock pot. If it’s cold where you are put the crock pot in a room you want to help warm up, smells great and helps heat.

Crock Pot Chicken

1 whole chicken or chicken pieces

chicken bouillon

carrots

potatoes

broccoli

Clean chicken and place in crock pot. Add 2 cups water.

Sprinkle chicken with bouillon powder. Add carrots and potatoes that

have been peeled and cut into large pieces. Sprinkle with bouillon.

Set crock pot on high and cook 3-4 hours. Add broccoli and cook another hour.

So…simple and really good!

Chili Verde

Pork: tenderloin, roast, or tri tip

salsa verde 1 or 2 cans (not spicy just a matter of how much pepper taste you like)

2 cloves garlic crushed

1 large onion sliced

beef bouillon liquid

Cut pork into bite size pieces. Brown with onion and garlic in small

amount of oil. Add 2 C water and 2 bouillon cubes to crock pot.

Add all other ingredients. Cook 3-4 hours on high, or until tender.

Place on stove top and reduce liquid. You can just drain but reducing it

will enhance the flavor. Serve with warn tortillas, sour cream, salsa and guacamole.
