A week or so ago, I threw together a new recipe that turned out really yummy.
I put chicken breasts in the crockpot to cook. When they were about an hour or so away from being done, I added the following:
*1 can cream of chicken soup and a can of milk
*1 can green chiles
*Crushed garlic cloves–2 [...]

The other day, I wanted to experiment to see if I could make Spanish Rice in the crockpot and it worked!
Here’s what I did for 4 servings. I think you can just double or triple it. It should work the same.
1 c. raw brown rice
3 c. mixed vegetable juice (like V-8)
1 c. water
3/4 lb hamburger, [...]

Just put in the amounts you want–no specific measurements.

Dice vegetables fine and add a coleslaw dressings. We just did mayo, 1 Tb. sugar, and enough apple cider vinegar to make it thin.

I used to set the gallon jar out on the steps to make sun tea.
My mom told me you can do the same thing but just stick it in the fridge. No sun–no hot tea to cool off when you’re thirsty for a big tall glass!
I take the gallon pitcher and 8 tea bags. We’re [...]

On really hot days, James and I like to have smoothies and muffins for dinner. We often have them for breakfast too. Here’s what we do–it’s not rocket science.
In your blender
