I have made a pot of homemade chicken soup and its simmering on the stove, yesterday I threw an entire tray of chicken breasts from Sam's Club into the crock pot to cook, for the soup I shredded some of that chicken added veggies, stock base, salt and pepper and now we wait! I also made a loaf of homemade bread in the bread machine, put the dogs out watered and fed them
and took a few snow shots of our storm and a couple batches of laundry, read my email, played a game on facebook, replied to Soul Scrappers comments and yes, took a breath in there somewhere!
This is my doggie, his name is TANK. He is border collie, kelpy and mcnab- in other words he is a REAL Cow dog with no cows anymore! lol kinda like me a born ranch gal who no longer has a ranch. ( I am ok with that just miss my horses!)
He is about 14 yrs old and I have had him since he was about 2 but he is out of our old cow dog Toby the border collie. I made him a warm bed on the front porch. He is such a funny dog! I just love him. He has one white eye and one brown and no, he isnt blind in the white eye- its a genetic thing - freaks people out! lololol
ok friends, now that some of my chores are done, I am headed to my studio until soup time! WIsh you were here to join me for lunch today!
See you later with some new projects!
Robyn I also use the cooked chicken in casseroles or shred it for salads or sandwiches, you can take the cooked chicken and put it in a zip loc freezer bag for future use- I LOVE my crock pot, Yesterday I slow cooked a roast all day long and we had roast, gravy and salad for supper and today we will have shredded beef sandwiches. I am planning to slow cook chicken in bbq sauce and a roast in bbq sauce and then freeze it for fast and easy meals! have fun! You can put the meat in frozen or not- depending on how long you want it to cook. Feel free to contact me with any questions!

Hi Robyn, I put the raw chicken and 1/2 c water in the crock pot because as the chicken cooks it releases all those awesome juices and it was delish!

Gwen-
When you do the entire tray of chicken what do you add to it? Water? Stock? It is such an awesome idea. Thanks in advance for the help.
