Soy Ginger BBQ Glazed Chicken

Tonight's dinner was something I have not made in a while. This chicken is marinaded in a soy ginger BBQ glaze. Simple, yet delicious. The glazed chicken was served on a bed of oven roasted yams, caramelized onions and mushrooms delicately tossed with baby spinach. I finished the dish with a drizzle of basil oil. If you are interested in the recipe, leave me a comment.

Home Made Fresh Rosemary & Sun Dried Tomato Fococcia

                                                  Delicious         

Chicken, Mushroom and Brown Rice Slow Cooker Casserole


Chris let me take center stage when preparing tonight's delicious meal. As a working mother, there is nothing better than being able to throw all of the ingredients of a meal into the Crock Pot and forget about it until dinner time! This dish was served with steamed asparagus and Chris' favorite my homemade Sun Dried Tomato Fococcia. (Pictures of the bread will be posted soon!)
