Tomorrow I'm making Lemony Chicken in the crock pot! I love these meals that I can throw in first thing in the morning and forget about. A lot of times with crock pot meals, I get it all assembled the night before in the crock and leave it in the fridge. Then I put it on in the morning. This is a real time saver if your mornings are crazy! I will be gone most of the day tomorrow and it will be nice to not have to think about dinner at all. This recipe does call for chicken with a bone and skin but use anything you want. You don't have to use breasts either. If you prefer thighs, go for it. I'll still be using boneless and skinless breasts because that's what we prefer. Now remember, this is meant to serve 4 so use good sized chicken breasts! Also, if you don't have any sherry, just use any liquid (chicken stock will work). You don't want to leave it out as the dish needs the liquid. I'll serve this with rice! Then I'm also going to make a Pea Salad. I love pea salad. I know John won't touch this but I'm hoping the boys will at least try it. Since I don't need 9 servings, I'll be cutting the recipe in half. This pea salad is pretty basic so I'll likely add some onion powder and salt. It's more like a layered sald than your typical pea salad so be aware of that.

This is one of my favorite beef dishes! It's called Special Spanish Pot Roast and it's so good. I know, it looks weird but trust me on this one. It's excellent! The recipe is super simple too!
