Another great slow-cooker YUMMY recipe for back to school days! I adapted this recipe from EatingWell.com. It tastes great with a serving of brown rice and salad. My daughter, the picky eater, LOVED it. The chicken comes out moist, which is a challenge for many of us when making chicken. Leftovers taste great, too. I served a thigh and the sauce on top of salad greens and it was great.
Lawhorn’s Signature Seasoning
This family owned and operated business (lawhorns.net) has put together a delicious seasoning blend perfect for chicken, steak, pork, seafood and pretty much anything else that would appreciate a great bold flavor! Believe me, we tried it!
I began with 4 chicken legs placed in a 9×13 glass dish. I sprinkled the seasoning liberally over each piece.
I even pulled the skin back to get the seasoning really “in there.”
I baked it in the oven at 425 for about 50 minutes. The aroma in the house as it baked made us drool! The cooked chicken looked, smelled and tasted fantastic! It had the right amount of kick to it!
You can find Lawnhorn’s Signature Seasoning at many grocery stores. It can also be purchased online.

Straight out of Martha Stewart’s Great Food Fast is this recipe for cashew chicken. I am still a stir-fry novice; I’ve made some with flank steak a few times but needed to branch out and try some chicken. I love cashew chicken when I eat Chinese out – it’s one of my favorite dishes. This was incredibly easy and fast to pull together and it tasted really good. I wouldn’t say it was exactly like cashew chicken you’d get in a restaurant, but still had great flavor and was inexpensive to prepare. The biggest endorsement I can give this dish is that my husband …

Look what was unearthed tonight? The ridiculously large and PAIN to clean George Foreman Grill! I know you have one too. Who doesn’t? This isn’t my first. I originally owned, during my bachlorette days the more standard size. But the moment I was let loose with the bridal registry gun in hand I was certain to include the “FAMILY” size George Foreman Grill. Yes, we did use it, maybe a dozen times during the 1st 6 months or so. The annoyance of cleaning it is what tucked it away to gather dust for years now. Well, with the desire for grilled chicken and severe thunderstorm warning in effect, I grabbed the tot-lock to open that cabinet that holds the George Foreman!
Well, 8 minutes on medium produced absolutely scrumptious, moist grilled chicken! Cleaning it wasn’t too bad. Maybe now in Smart Mama-hood, you quickly learn that a few …
