Cheese, Cheesey, Cheesier


Tonight it was... CrockPot Central. Good homestyle food, and so dang easy!
Easy Cheesy BBQ Chicken & Cheese Broccoli 
(holy cheese..)

Ingredients

Chicken Breasts (up to 5)
2 Bottles of any barbecue sauce 
Bacon (about 8 strips)
3-5 Slices of Swiss Cheese
2 lb. Fresh Broccoli 
1 bag Velveeta Cheese Shreds
3 tablespoon butter
1 clove Fresh Garlic (chopped)
1 1/2 tablespoon Olive Oil

Too easy to be true! NOT! Torey also helped cook the bacon ;)!


Drop the breasts into the CrockPot. Then empty 1 to 1 1/2 bottles of barbecue sauce (depending on the 
number of breasts you're using) on the chicken breasts.



Cover 'em up real nice, if you want to dump the rest of the barbecue sauce into the pot, you're more than welcome ;).


Let it cook on LOW for 5-6 hours until done!
Meanwhile, about 20 minutes before the chicken is done, you'll want to start the rest!
     Cut broccoli into chunky pieces. Put Olive Oil into deep pan. Toss broccoli, butter, garlic, and 1/4 cup water in pan as well. Cover, cook on medium until done, stirring occasionally. 


Cover broccoli with Velveeta cheese, cover until melted. Mix Together, Serve!

You'll also want to cook bacon to your preferred liking. (in our case... "limp" lol). 



Take the chicken out of the CrockPot, place bacon slices on top, and cover with Swiss! I also put the oven on BROIL for almost a minute and melted the cheese on there a little. 

Now eat it while it's hot!


Bare with me while I get this whole blogging thing down. It's totally awkward :).

In three words I can sum up everything I've learned about life: it goes on.

22, livin' easy.

   The birthday celebrations came to an end, and honestly, we didn't do too much. It was great! We had dinner with Torey's family, and as always his mom had the best decorations! So cute.


There was awesome cake and food! (Tonight it's back to the cooking routine!)



All in all it was a great day, now back to reality and work for Torey... but first he'll have to get out of bed with Miss Bella <3


The most important thing is to enjoy your life - to be happy - it's all that matters.

birthday fun!

Before heading to Toreys parents house for birthday dinner, we had a little fun. Birthday goodies, beers, food, and love :). Needless to say we won't be cooking dinner tonight. However, we are heading to The Alamo for drinks a little later on. C'mon friends!

first

    This is a first for me, in an attempt to make not make this totally awkward we all know I'll be posting plenty of food. Daily. Food aside, it'll just be all things I enjoy!
    Today is actually Torey's 22nd birthday! Many of reasons to celebrate for him. He's grown and done so many awesome things in just the three and a half years we've been together, more importantly 22 years of manly excellence. [insert beard emoticon here.]
     In other news, I will frequently post recipes and photos. Ask if you want me to post one too. We know I love taking photos of food. ha, alright... let's do this!
It's not what you look at that matters, it's what you see.
