Noodles & Banana’s (ok not together … lol)

Ok have I told you how much I love Pinterest?  I love doing my meal planning with it and have found these two recipes PLUS a really cool trick how to shred chicken fast (instead of me doing it with 2 forks and having uneven chicken.

First I found this Bacon Ranch Slow Cooker Chicken, that was super yummy served over whole wheat noodles.

This was the trick I found on pinterest and it ACTUALLY worked!  I cooked the chicken in the crockpot and then threw it in my Kitchen-aid mixer with the paddle and with in seconds I had perfectly shredded chicken.

And a little something special for my neighbor.  I found this Banana Oatmeal Cookie Recipe that I made into scones in my new scone pan!  Then a simple glaze of powder sugar, milk & vanilla.

So there you have it two more easy recipes.  We ended up buying a new bed last night at Ikea so it was a quick meal at the Ikea Bistro.  So hopefully tonight while Rick is building our new bed (with that lovely allen wrench) and taking apart our old four poster log bed.  I may get an actual dinner together.

  4. Thanks for the shredded chicken tip. I have been prepping beef and chicken ahead of time. What a time saver. I can make soups, tacos, sauces and just throw the cooked meat in. It has made my life a lot easier. I spend a Sunday afternoon cooking about once month. :)
