Crock Pot Asian Inspired Sticky Wings

Posted in Food & Recipes by sewloveable

Hello all,

So this recipe is perfect for those times when you forget to unthaw your food……but you have an idea for a great dish. This is exactly how this dish came about.

Ingredients:
1/3 cup honey
1/3 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup balsamic vinegar
1/3 cup amini acid (or low sodium soy sauce)
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon ginger
1 teaspoon sriracha (or your favorite hot sauce)
black pepper
15-20 chicken wings
1 tablespoon cornstarch
sesame seeds

Directions:

In a sauce pan add the honey, brown sugar, balsamic vinegar, amino acid, garlic, ginger, sriracha and black pepper to taste. Bring the mix to a boil, then lower the temperature and simmer for 5 minutes (until the sugar dissolves). Remove from heat and allow to cool for a 2 minutes.

Place the chicken into the crock pot. Pour the sauce over the chicken and move the chicken around so that it is completely coated with sauce. Put the lid on and cook on high for 5 hours if using frozen chicken and 4 hours if your chicken is unthawed. Flip chicken a couple of times during the cooking process.

Once finished cooking, remove the chicken and place in a medium bowl. Now in a small bowl, mix together the cornstarch and 2 TBS of the liquid from the crock pot, then pour into the crock pot with the leftover sauce. Mix together well, place chicken back into the crock pot and let cook for about 10 minutes (or until the sauce starts to thicken up). Just before serving, sprinkle with sesame seeds.

Super Simple & Delicious Crockpot Kale

Posted in Food & Recipes by sewloveable

Hello all,

I was chatting it up with my mother the other day. She mentioned that her co-worker made some Kale in the crockpot. I told her that sounds interesting. I just might try it myself. I knew that I wanted the Kale to taste similar to the Kale, Whole Foods serves at the hot food bar. I served the Kale with a Tea Leaf Oven Smoked Chicken.
So here’s what I came up with.

Ingredients:

(1) 10 oz. Bag fresh organic of Kale
2 Cloves of organic Crushed Garlic
2 TBS of Amino Acid or Low Sodium Soy Sauce
1 1/2 Cup of organic Low Sodium Chicken Stock
2 tsp of Fresh organic Cilantro
1/4 Cup of organic yellow onions 1/4 Cup of green, yellow & red peppers
1/2 tsp of organic garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, cayenne pepper, red pepper flakes and paprika

Directions:

Wash and dry Kale.

Add chicken stock, amino acid(or soy sauce), onions, peppers, garlic, cilantro and seasoning to your crockpot.

Add your Kale then stir the Kale around to get an even coating of your liquid.

Set your crockpot on low for 8 hours or high for 6.

I hope you will give this recipe a try and enjoy it as much as my family and I do.

Thank you so much for taking the time to stop by, I greatly appreciate it.
