Well, last night I made something thats been on my list for a while. It wasn't a complete miss but I was disappointed and if I ever make it again I will be making some changes. It was a Spanish Chicken Casserole made in the crockpot with beans, corn, onions, whole tomatoes, chopped yellow bell pepper, some spice and chicken. Directions say to put in raw rice and that it will cook in the juices - wrong! When my husband walked in the door, which is when it should have been done, the rice was still uncooked...after cooking for hours. So not only did it take 1 1/2 hours longer than the said cook time, by the time the rice was cooked, it was all mushy.

I think that if I made it again, I would cook rice seperatly and just serve this over the rice and I would cut up the chicken, it called for a whole chicken breast. I ate a bowl of it and the taste was pretty descent, but again, the mushy rice wasn't all that fun. Just enjoyed bacon, eggs, toast and jam for breakfast.

I'm in the mood for some baking. Mia is feeling a bit better so we'll see what I can make time for today.
