Crock Pot Fav: Hawaiian BBQ Chicken

I love cooking when it is quick and easy. I am all about convenience and one that results in lots of leftovers for lunches or another dinner. Plus, I love my crock pot, its like my own personal chef. Just throw whatever you want in there and it does the rest. Since I am feeling a little bit tired today, I knew I didn't want to throw a huge meal together.

I have made this recipe numerous times because it is so quick and easy. I had originally found it on Pinterest.

Three ingredients, 5-6 hours of cook time and how you eat or prepare it is all up to you.

4-5 frozen or defrosted Chicken Breasts
1 can of Crushed Pineapple in its own fruit juice
1 bottle of BBQ sauce, any flavor works well, I chose to use Honey Mustard this time around

Spray your crock pot with some Pam cooking spray or use one of those amazingly awesome Crock Pot liners.

Put chicken in and dump in the rest right on top. I drained the can of pineapple a bit and then dumped it in and dumped the bottle of BBQ sauce on top.

Then I cooked it on low for 5-6 hours. I checked the chicken at the 5 hour time frame, I took out each piece and shredded the chicken into a bowl.

Shredding chicken is a lot easier than you think. I just take two forks and pull the chicken back and forth. I did it to each piece then put it back into the crock pot and let cook on low for about an hour more.


James and I ate them on sandwich thins, like pulled chicken sandwiches. I paired it with a side of sweet potato fries and a side salad.

You can also serve it over rice of your choice, I usually choose brown or with potatoes. You can also choose to not shred it either and just eat whole.

It was super delicious and the left overs were overflowing. We will be eating this for days.

A typical serving is about 3/4 cups or about 5pp.

At my Weight Watchers meeting yesterday, my leader told me about a low point apple crisp and I couldn't resist making it today. I love apple crisp, I don't have it often or really at all, because it can be high in points and frankly I like low maintenance  baking, so when I can find something easy and quick and low in points, well I am all game!! This apple crisp is again so easy and quick, perfect for a craving, a family gathering, party or just to have around the house. Requires only 3 or 4 ingredients to prepare this and you might even have all of it in your house right now.

Perspective: My Trauma, Fear and Rejection

Well we have made it through another week of CoronaVirus, Stay Home, Social Distancing of 2020. I honestly have no clue what to call it, other than that. Today, has been 2 weeks since we closed BBW and shut down the store. Originally we had some high hopes we would have been open by yesterday, the mall sent an email saying they weren't going to open until the 19th, and then Pres. Trump extended the Social Distancing until the 30th. I honestly have no clue when I am going back to work. I am literally just trying to take it day by day and moment by moment, and week by week. I have been surviving and also Thriving during this process. I am a child of hard things. I have been through some tough shit in my day, and maybe I will get to that at some point, but we can save that for another post. Today the idea of Perspective is in my brain. If you don't know, which I am sure you do know if you follow along with me, but Rachel Hollis, whom is one of the many people I look

Let's Go To The Movies....And EAT at Cobb Theaters Tyrone

Image
As part of the Tampa Bay Bloggers, I was given access and a gift card to tour the new Cobb Theatre at the Tyrone Square Mall for social share and blog post, all opinions and reviews are my own. I have lived in the St. Petersburg Area for almost 7 years now and worked at the Tyrone Square Mall for 6.5. In those 6.5 years, I anxiously waited for the mall to get a movie theatre and the time has finally come and this is not just any run of the mill movie theatre, this one is luxury and spacious and a whole experience on its own. Nanci, over at This Crazy Life of Mine , also a Tampa Bay Blogger and more importantly one of my besties, and I have partnered with our blog post about the Cobb Experience. She was in attendance also and there is so much to tell you, we decided to break it up into TWO part posts, linking to the two of our blogs together. I am going to give you the details on the food experience at Cobb, believe me it is more than just soda, candy and popcorn and Nanci is going
