Slow Cooker Crack Chicken

Crack chicken is so good (and addicting, hence "crack") so I saved this recipe to have for both lunch and dinner. I can't say it's the healthiest, but it IS delicious. Inspiration is from Wholesome Yum. It was only Kevin and I eating this one so portions were much smaller. I also used The Social Distancer from Pinch Spice Market (it is now called Buffy's Slayer Helper) in place of some of the herbs and seasonings, and I used light cream cheese and reduced fat cheddar cheese to adapt to what I eat on Noom. We also did not use green onions. Using Noom has taught me how to take regular foods that I eat and adapt them so they are a little bit healthier (ie: use "light" or "reduced fat" when possible). I also like using the Social Distancer because it has a group of seasonings altogether in one bag (garlic, parsley, salt, and basil) so it adds more flavor. 

Ingredients:
3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 tbsp Pinch Spice Market The Social Distancer
1 tbsp dried Dill Weed
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
10oz Light Cream Cheese
1 cup reduced fat cheddar cheese
4 slides of bacon (cooked and chopped)


Directions:
In a crockpot, add the chicken breasts in a single layer. Sprinkle the chicken with the herbs and spices. Arrange the pieces of cream cheese over the chicken. 



Cook the chicken for 3-4 hours on high until the chicken is easy to shred. 


Shred the chicken and mix with the cream cheese. Stir in the cheddar cheese and bacon. 



Serve with rice. 



ENJOY! (and try not to eat too much)

Book Review and Summary - Prince Harry - "Spare"

Image
I may be one of the few, but I was intrigued by Prince Harrys' story, which prompted me to pick up his book "Spare." I have to say, as I first started reading, I couldn't put it down, I think I read 50+ pages the first day. I was aware of Prince Harry but knew very little about his life. I remember negative things in the news, all of the negative stories of him. He sounded to me like the "troubled" brother, and, unfortunately, he and everyone else believed he was. I also now understand the meaning behind the book title. The name "Spare" is a name that is described as the one that isn't important. Think of a spare tire, you are kind of pushed to the side until you are needed. As Prince Harry said, his brother was the "Heir" and he was the "Spare" and it was very unfortunate events throughout  the book that describe how and why he felt like this. He mentioned Willy (Prince William) and him were, "The Heir and the Spare. I

10 Ways to Make Parenting a Middle Schooler a Little Bit Easier

Image
My cousin and I were spending some time together a few days ago and she asked about Jace and how he was doing in school. After a few minutes, she suggested that I blog about it. Initially, I wasn't too keen on the idea, but after doing some research, I realized that parenting a middle schooler can be tough for a lot of parents (I got lucky and he is probably one of the easiest ones) at times so I decided to write down what I do to make our days better. Having a middle schooler is so different than having a child in elementary, to me. Here are 10 things that I/we have done that has really made our days easier and better together.  1. Be consistent - every morning I ask my son how he slept and when he comes home, I ask him how his day was. When we eat together as a family (2-3X per week), we each go around the table discussing our highlight of the day. If I somehow miss or forget the questions, he asks me what my highlight was or how my day was which I absolutely love.  On the same t
