Wait, I think it was from the barefoot contessa show, I saw her do that but not in a crockpot.

(We are looking for a place to buy chickens locally as I still believe no animal has to suffer for me, smile!)

Just because I am lazy, is that recipe already posted here, can I do a search to find it?

Take one box of prepared pie crust out of the refrigerator and throw it on the counter.

Put the stir fry chicken strips in the oven for 20 minutes on 350 then turn the oven up to 425 after taking the cooked chicken out.

Cut up the chicken and put it in a mixing bowl, add the soup and frozen vegetables and stir it up.

Throw one crust in the bottom of a pie plate, dump the chicken mix in, put the top crust on, pinch together and cover the edges with foil.

NORMAN POTATO SALAD WITH APPLES

The sweet crispiness of the apples and the tang of vinegar give this potato salad a special lift. It's named after Normandy, famous for its apples and for its apple brandy, Calvados.

2 pounds yellow-fleshed potatoes such as Yukon Gold
3 tablespoons cider vinegar
2 Granny Smith apples
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 cup apple juice
1/2 cup well-chilled heavy cream
1/2cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons coarsely chopped fresh flat-leafed parsley leaves
1 teaspoon Calvados (French apple brandy; optional) freshly ground black pepper to taste

In a 3-quart kettle cover potatoes with cold salted water by 2 inches and simmer until potatoes are tender but resist when pierced with a fork, about 20 minutes. Drain potatoes in a colander. When potatoes are just cool enough to handle, peel and cut into 1/4-inch-thick rounds. While potatoes are still warm, layer one third in a large serving dish or bowl and drizzle with 1 tablespoon vinegar. Season potatoes with salt and pepper. Continue layering in same manner with remaining potatoes and vinegar, seasoning with salt and pepper. Peel, quarter, and core apples. Cut quarters crosswise into 1/8-inch-thick pieces and in a bowl toss with lemon juice. In a small saucepan simmer apple juice until reduced to about 3 tablespoons. In a bowl beat cream until it just holds soft peaks and gently but thoroughly fold in reduced apple juice, mayonnaise, parsley, Calvados, and pepper. Season sauce with salt and gently toss together with potatoes and apples.

Serves 6 as a side dish.

I have cut out potatoes, rice, breads, ice cream, etc. for almost 2 weeks and have lost 4 pounds. I did South Beach a couple years ago but it takes too much preparation and planning, although I did lose 20 pounds without excercising. You may want to try the South Beach Diet Cookbook.

I hated to exercise but now I've joined the Y - and really liking it. I try to go everyday to a beginning exercise class and/or Pilates. If I don't make the class, I try to do 30 minutes on the treadmill.

I have put off doing this for many, many years and can't believe how much better I feel. It's alot easier to put on weight then take off, but I refuse to get discouraged. I have lost alot of strength around my waist and lower back (pouchy tummy), but Pilates is helping that. I work at my own pace which the instructor encourages us all to do.

12 oz. cooked chicken, chopped (2 cups - about
3 cooked boneless skinless chicken breast halves)
1 C. broccoli, chopped
1/2 C. red bell pepper, chopped
1 clove garlic, pressed
4 oz. sharp Cheddar cheese, shredded (1 cup)
1/2 C. mayonnaise
2 tsp. All-purpose Dill Mix (or 1 teaspoon dillweed)
1/4 tsp. salt
2 pkg. (8 oz. each) refrigerated crescent rolls
1 egg white, lightly beaten
2 T. slivered almonds

Chop chicken and broccoli and place in bowl. Add chopped red bell pepper. Press garlic over mixture and shred cheese over mixture. Add mayonnaise, dill mix and salt. Mix well.

Unroll package of crescent rolls. Do not separate. Arrange longest sides of dough across width of 12 x 15-inch pan and repeat with remaining package of dough. Roll out dough to seal perforations. On long side of pan, cut dough into strips 1 1/2 inches apart, 3 inches deep leaving approximately 6 inches in the center of dough for filling. Spread filling evenly over middle of dough.

To braid: lift strips of dough across mixture to meet in center, twisting each strip one turn. Continue alternating strips to form braid. Tuck ends under to seal at ends. Brush egg white over dough and sprinkle with almonds. Baked 25-28 minutes or until deep golden brown.

what is the 20 garlic chicken recipe!
