Easy cheesy appetizers

In the Walmart deli section there is a refrigderator case in the middle of the floor. In it you will find brie. Brie is a mild flavored soft cheese that can be easily warmed in the oven in just ten minutes. I buy the round brie with the thin rind and warm it in my round stone casserole. It can be served with raspberry preserves poured over it, chili raspberry preserves, or topping of your choice. I serve it with buttery and wheat crackers.

In that same case you can find a marinated mozzerella twist. It has a slight spice to it. I like to warm it a bit in the oven or microwave and serve it with the same crackers as the brie.

Crockpot - Creamy Chicken and Vegetables

This one of those great recipes. It meets the great recipe criteria because it is easily altered. For instance I used chicken tenders because that is what I had in the freezer, I used russet potatoes and more of them because they needed used up. I also added a bay leaf, garlic and a bullion cube with some water to extend to the broth.

What the recipe calls for:
3-4 lbs of cut up chicken
2 lbs of new potatoes halved
1/2 lb of baby carrots
1 lg onion cut into large pieces
1 can of chicken broth
1 c sour cream
3 Tbsp of flour

Save the sour cream and flour until the end of the cook time. In crockpot add all other ingredients (except sour cream and flour) and cook on High for 4 to 6 hours or low for 10 to 12 hours or until chicken is cooked thoroughly.

In small bowl mix together flour and sour cream. Stir into chicken mixture, stir occassionally and cook for 5 to 6 minutes until thickened.

The original recipe was posted by Barabara to the 50+ friends club cookbook crockpot cooking. What appears here is a slightly altered version.
