Crockpot recap

Ok, so I am way over due to responding to my last post. Here's a quick recap of how the crockpot meals went... The chicken and dumplings was delicious! I added carrots, celery, basil and oregano. The bacon wrapped chicken and sour cream was good but pretty rich, next time i will only use one can of cream of chicken and 1/2 the sour cream. I used way more bacon (because who doesn't love a ton of bacon?!?!) and over cooked it on accident. This actually worked out ok because it didn't burn, the chicken just shredded. It was served over rice with green beans and was a big hit with our company. I enjoyed the artichoke chicken. Next time I will use marinated artichokes, add olives and more garlic. I think this would be delish served over pasta with a little shredded parm. The chili an pumpkin soup was not a hit. It was just too bland. I couldn't taste the pumpkin but Price could and thought that was gross. My mom added roasted potatoes, a little hot sauce an salt and pepper and she liked it a little. I don't recommend it.

Overall, the crockpot meals made my life a little easier and made a TON of food but to be honest I felt like I was eating too much salt and processed food. I am not a big fan of things from cans and prefer fresh veggies. After a week of crockpot food we were ready for BBQ chicken and roasted veggies again!
