Crocktober Chicken Chick Pea Curry A Crock Pot Giveaway!
It's here!
My 3rd Annual Crocktober Crock Pot Recipe Link Up!
This is always one of my favorite link ups!
I LOVE my Crock Pot.
As a working mom, my Crock Pot is a staple during the Fall & Winter months.
They make my life & dinner time so much easier!
Can I get an Amen?
I am SO excited to share this recipe with you.
This is a recipe I have been making for about 3-4 years
(I can't believe I haven't shared it on here yet!)
It has a different flavor than most of my recipes that I make.
I promise you it is delicious and SO, SO EASY.
Here is what you need:
- Crock Pot/Slow Cooker
- 1 bag frozen Chicken Tenderloins or Chicken Breasts (I Use a 2.5 lb or 3 lb bag)
- 2 cans of Chick Peas/Garbanzo Beans, drained
- 1 large can of diced tomatoes
- 1 jar of Thai Yellow Curry Sauce
***I always use Trader Joe's brand, but if you don't have a Trader Joe's near you, you can check your grocery store. I know that Kikoman makes one & so does Taste of Thai & Thai Kitchen. Check the Ethnic Food Isle. Or you can make your own. You just need 1 (15 oz) can coconut milk & 1 T yellow curry paste. Pour into a sauce pan. Bring to a boil stirring frequently. Reduce heat and cook 3-4 minutes or until thickened. (That is what I did before I discovered the pre-made sauces)***
Directions:
Add your frozen chicken tenderloins, can of dice tomatoes & both cans of drained chick peas/garbonzo beans.
Pour Sauce over the ingredients.
Put on lid. Cook on high for 4 hours or low for 6 hours.
When it is done cooking, just shred up your chicken.
Stir.
That.is.it.
SO dang Easy.
I serve over rice.
Sometimes white rice, sometimes brown rice. Whatever one I have on hand.
This meal is packed full of flavor. Kevin always told me he didn't like curry or the curry flavor.
I make this meal about once a month in the fall/winter. He LOVES this meal.
It was just last month that I confessed & told him that he does like curry because there is a jar of yellow curry in this meal :)
I hope you like this meal. Give it a shot!

Do you Squeeze or Spoon Plus a 100 Visa Gift Card Giveaway!
One of the things I was most looking forward to this summer was that I didn't have to pack snacks & lunches for my girls.
Can I get an Amen?
But, then a few days into summer I realized I am still having to make them lunch each day and they still want snacks each day, especially with all the activities we are doing this summer, like swim team, day trips and vacations!
My kids are constantly asking for snacks all day and I am trying to give them healthy ones.
We recently got a new kitchen island and on the island I have storage baskets.
One of those storage baskets is where I keep healthy snack options for my kids.
They know that they don't have to ask if they can have anything in this basket, they can help themselves to whatever is in it!
It has cut down on the "Mom, I'm Hungry.... can I have a snack?!?" that I used to hear 10 times a day. If they say they are hungry I say, "Grab something from the snack basket"
I have a variety of healthy snacks in it...granola bars, cereal bars, raisins and Del Monte Fruit Burst Squeezers.
Del Monte Fruit Burst Squeezers offers the goodness of 1½ servings of fruits and vegetables.
Del Monte Fruit Burst Squeezers and Plastic Fruit Cups have no high fructose corn syrup or artificial flavors. These products are an excellent source of Vitamin C and are gluten free.
Del Monte Fruit Burst Squeezers and Plastic Fruit Cups are available at your local grocery store.
When we were in Tahoe a couple weeks ago, I picked up a couple boxes of the Del Monte Fruit Burst Squeezers while we were there.
It is the perfect snack for the beach...no spoon needed, just squeeze!
Luke loved the Fruit & Veggie Blueberry Fruit Squeezer.
He carried it around the beach as he checked out the water & played.
He is my kid who doesn't like veggies, so I am glad that he is able to get some veggies with the Fruit Squeezers.
Both girls loved them also & Kate asked if she could have these in her school lunches this fall. I am always looking for ideas for her lunches since she is such a picky eater.
Not only will I be putting these in their lunches, I will be bringing them to swim meets for the rest of the summer. Swim meets make my girls so hungry & I am always looking for healthy snack ideas for them at their swim meets.
There are several flavor varieties that Del Monte offers:
Fruit & Veggies Squeezers: Blueberry, Apple Cinnamon, Peach Mango
Fruit Only Squeezers: Mixed Berry, Strawberry
Plastic Fruit Cup Flavor is Pineapple Coconut!
I am excited to Add Some Garden to my kids Lunchbox this Fall with Del Monte Squeezers that are Bursting with Life!
Del Monte & BlogHer have teamed up to giveaway a $100 Visa gift card.
Just answer the question:
Do your kids prefer to Squeeze or Spoon?
I know my girls prefer to squeeze! Every time I have sent an applesauce to school with a spoon, it is either unopened or if they do eat it, the throw away the spoon also! Squeezing is so much easier!
Share your answer below for a chance to win a $100 VISA Gift Card.
Also, if you share a photo of your kids’ favorite Del Monte Squeeze or Spoon snack on the Del Monte Facebook page here between August 1st and September 1st, you could win one of two $10,000 GRAND PRIZES for your kids’ school!

Nutella Pizza A Giveaway!
In 2016 I posted a new pizza recipe every month.
I LOVE pizza & I could eat it everyday.
I LOVE pizza & I could eat it everyday.
Last Christmas I got THIS pizza maker which enabled my pizza habit.
(It is on sale HERE for 50% off!!!!!! Under $100...I have never seen it priced this low!)
You don't need the pizza maker (you can use your oven) but I am letting you know that using this pizza maker gives your pizza an authentic pizzeria taste!
For the past year, I have been sharing a new pizza recipe every month.
All 11 of the pizza recipes that I shared last year were for the main course, so I decided it was time to share a dessert pizza recipe!
All 11 of the pizza recipes that I shared last year were for the main course, so I decided it was time to share a dessert pizza recipe!
A few months ago, for Friday Night Pizza Night, I ordered pizza from one of our local pizzerias and I noticed they had a Nutella Pizza in their dessert section.
You better believe I ordered it!
I had never heard of a Nutella Pizza & I couldn't wait to try it.
It was AMAZING.
Kate and I practically fought over the last slice (She is my chocolate lover)
It was a pizza that was covered in Nutella and the topped with fresh cut strawberries.
I knew that because I have my pizza maker
I could easily recreate this pizza....and I did. And, it is delicious & so incredibly easy to make.
It is the perfect pizza to share with you guys as a finale to my Year of Pizza Recipes!
Nutella Pizza:
- Pizza Dough (I use the pre-made fresh dough from Trader Joe's or Safeway)
- About 1/4 cup Nutella
- Sliced Strawberries
- Powdered Sugar
Directions:
Roll out your dough.
If using the Pizza maker, I split the dough in half and then roll out your dough on a lightly floured surface & then I put my dough on a piece of parchment paper.
Bake the dough in your pizza oven for 12-15 minutes or until it is light brown.
If using an oven, bake it at 450 degrees for 12-15 minutes.
Once it is done cooking, take it out & spread on the Nutella.
Powdered sugar makes everything better ;)
Look at all that goodness.....
As Kate was finishing up her slice, she said that next time we should add fresh raspberries to it along with the strawberries.
I said we could also add sliced bananas!
Wouldn't that be delicious? Fresh strawberries, fresh raspberries & sliced bananas! YUM!
Of course Claire chimed in that we could also add mini marsmallows & mini chocolate chips.
I think adding any of those would be great!
That is the beauty of this Nutella pizza....you can add whatever toppings you want!
This is a great addition to our Friday Night Pizza night....Nutella Pizza for dessert!
As a recap.....Here are the pizzas we have made since last January:
In January I shared my BBQ Chicken Pizza Recipe {HERE}
In February I shared my Fig, Prosciutto & Arugula Pizza {HERE}
In March I shared my my Pesto Chicken, Sundried Tomato & Artichoke Pizza {HERE}
In March I shared my my Pesto Chicken, Sundried Tomato & Artichoke Pizza {HERE}
