Dory's Dinners - Slow Cooker Scalloped Chicken

Slow Cooker Scalloped Chicken - This is tasting like it's going to be really good - I only wish I had a loaf of homemade bread to serve along with it.

Here is the recipe:
5 oz. pkg. scalloped potatoes
scalloped potatoes dry seasoning pack
4 chicken breast halves or 8 legs
10 oz. pkg. frozen peas
2 cups water

Put potatoes, seasoning pack, chicken and peas in slow cooker. Pour water over all. Cover. Cook on low 8-10 hours or on high 4 hours.

How easy! I didn't have scalloped potatoes so I used AuGratin Potatoes and it seems to be working out just fine.

I am going to start to use the slow cooker more often. My busiest time of the day is from 4pm to 8pm. During this time the babies eat a solid and a bottle and also have a bath and get ready for bed. Between all this I am usually making supper and welcoming Daddy home from work and still trying to watch Entertainment Tonight! So by using the crock pot I can cut out making supper in the evening - I can make it in the morning and let it cook all day! It's a win, win.

Grace and Avery said...: Of Course, you wish you had made a homemade loaf of bread. I mean in all of your free time, I'm sure you wanted to make a homeade loaf of bread. Are your twins not filling your quiet moments with something to do. I could always send my 2 yr. old twins to your house to help out!; June 18, 2009 at 5:53 PM
Labay Family said...: LOL. Sara, if your read carefully I said I wish I had a loaf of homemade bread - not I wish I had made a loaf of homemade bread! Girl, I wouldn't know the first thing to making bread. I go to HEB and get those freash made loafs of Pan Francis bread. They are so good! Yeah, I'm not perfect but I like to stay busy. These kids are a handfull and it's getting harder now that they are crawling all over the house. I joked the other day to Brent and told him I needed two kennels! Your girls are beautiful and I like the post about your husband letting them get into the water tub shoes and all. I bet you 'bout died! That was funny!; June 19, 2009 at 9:32 AM

5 Years of Infertility

Brent and I had dated for years - since my senior year of High School and were finally married on September 27, 2003. We had been together so long that we decided we would start a family immediately. Things turned out to be a bit more difficult than we planned. After many years of trying and medical intervention I was finally diagnoised with Endometriosis in Feb. of 2007. My disease was severe - stage 4 and had spread to my liver. After having exploratory surgery Dr. Cook thought that my ovaries and tubes were capable of functioning properly enough to produce a pregnancy but with the hostile environment inside of me I would need lots of help. We began Lupron therapy that would last 6 months as a way to try to "kill" off some of the endo. When the 6 months was up we began rounds of Clomid with IUI (Intra-Uteran Insemination). We did 2 cycles of this with no result. Our only other option was IVF which we decided to begin in January of 2008. After carefully following the treatment schedule of meds. and shots we had 14 eggs retrieved on Feb. 5, 2008 and of the 14 eggs 6 fertilized and became embryos. On Feb. 8, 2008 Dr. Gill transfered 3 of the best of the embryos. Two weeks later (Feb. 22nd) MaryLou called with the good news that my pregnancy test was positive!!!
