Easy Crock Pot Potato Soup

Way back when Pinterest was brand new and there weren’t too many people that used it yet, I pinned this easy crockpot potato soup from Pearls Handcuffs and Happy Hour. As we all know, Pinterest has really taken off and it has been a huge blessing to bloggers of all kinds.

I have made this soup so many times, and ever time I make it I love it just as much! Very simple, very delicious. Perfect for dinner on cold winter days!

Crock Pot Buffalo Ranch Chicken and No Mayo Coleslaw

October 15, 2015October 11, 2015 LauraJoli LookingJoliGood1 Comment

Recently I posted about meal planning and using my crock pot to make Seven Days of Clean Eating Slow-Cooker Recipes. Here is one of the recipes that we really enjoyed…

Serve the chicken shredded on a roll as a sandwich with some delicious coleslaw, or for an even healthier option skip the bread and serve the chicken over lettuce as a delicious salad topper.

Crock Pot Buffalo Ranch Chicken

Serves 4-6

Ingredients

● 4 chicken breasts
● 1 medium onion, sliced
● ½ teaspoon each: dried parsley, dried dill, dried chives, garlic powder, onion powder
● sea salt and pepper, to taste
● 4 peppers, tops cut off and seeds cleaned out
● ½ cup hot sauce* (I use Frank’s RedHot Hot Sauce)
*This can be spicy for some. Want it mild? Use a little less hot sauce!

Instructions

1. Put chicken, spices, hot sauce in crockpot.
2. Cook for 4 hours on high or 8 hours on low.
3. Shred and serve on your choice of sandwich thin, lettuce wrap, stuffed in a pre boiled bell pepper, stuffed in a baked sweet potato or over salad greens.

*Make a ranch sauce to go on sandwiches. ½ cup plain greek yogurt and ½ teaspoon of each: dried parsley, dried dill, dried chives, garlic powder, onion powder. This also cuts the spice!!

No Mayo Coleslaw

Ingredients

1/4 small red cabbage
1/2 small green cabbage
1/2 carrot, shredded
zest of 1/2 lemon
1/4 cup lemon juice
1/4 cup olive oil
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Remove any tough outer leaves from the cabbage.
Trim the core and any tough stems from the cabbage and thinly slice.
Add to a bowl with the shredded carrot, lemon zest, lemon juice, olive oil, honey, salt and black pepper. Toss to combine.
Serve this right away for more of a salad, or store it in the fridge overnight for a slaw that’s more pickled.
