I haven't been making any new recipes lately...we've been enjoying some old favorites: Beef and Bean Chili Verde, Chicken Curry, Beef and Barley Soup... I was also pretty sick with a chest cold and sinus infection...and then we were out of town...
This week I am only making meals with items in my freezer and pantry! I am excited about this because it all really needs to be cleaned out...but I did warn the family that our meals might not be top notch this week...
Tonight's meal was a HIT! I threw some chicken wings into the oven with a honey/soy sauce glaze and we all gobbled it up! Here's the recipe I based mine on.

BEST. COOKIE. EVER. seriously.
When I saw the name of these cookies I knew they had to be good. They did not disappoint.
Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Sea Salt Cookies
These are my favorite cookies right now. And that is saying A LOT. I also figured out the nutritional info for them and I made 57 cookies which came to 108 cal. each. Not bad!!!

Catching Up...
Sorry for the delay... We've had "the croup" in our house and now I've got a nasty chest cold so I haven't had much energy to do anything... But, the sun is shining today and things seem to be looking up!
A couple weeks ago I made the 4 Packet Roast and didn't report back on it...IT. WAS. GREAT. I cooked mine with carrots and that was the best part for me. I loved the carrots soo much...
Last week I made the following recipes:
Whole Chicken in the Crockpot: Such a simple and economical way to do it! I overcooked mine a bit so it was a little dry...but at least I'll know for next time! We didn't have enough leftovers for an entire 2nd meal so next time I'll also make a bigger one!
Beef and Barley Soup: This was THE BEST SOUP of this winter!! We loved this. It recommends making this the day before so that the flavors have time to blend. Such a great idea to throw together on a weekend before a busy week. We'll be making this again in the next couple of weeks.
Simple Crusty Bread: We had this with our Beef and Barley Soup and it turned out PERFECT. We were all loving our meal that night! And I have enough dough left in the refrigerator for 3 more loaves!
Easy Pie: I made this recipe except I made it with my own filling (strawberry-rhubarb) and it tasted great. The only problem I had was that the filling flowed over the edges of the pan and I smoked out the house. Oopsies! Now I know I don't need quite as much filling....and I need a pan on the lower rack to catch any drippings...
