Delicious and easy! My crockpot broke, so I didn't make this in a slow cooker. I just cooked up the chicken first then added everything else and let it simmer for an hour or so.  Don't be in too much of a hurry. Let it simmer. I tasted it as it was getting warm and thought it was going to be terrible, too sweet!  After it simmered, it really did taste so much better. I highly suggest adding red onion (I love red onions) and the extra pineapple slice when you are serving.  I don't like cilantro so I didn't buy any, but Kenny said he would have liked that as well. My family ate it on buns last night. I just made it into a salad for lunch today and it was delicious. The original post is here . 1 pound boneless chicken breasts 1 (20-ounce) can crushed pineapple in juice juice of one lime 1 tablespoon honey 1/4 cup soy sauce 3 or 4 garlic cloves, minced 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust to your heat preference) 8 whole wheat buns for serving, optional: pineapple rings, ...

Hi, I know I've been a little bit absent for a while now. Sorry, things have been really busy at our house. This is a recipe that I've done before, but I wasn't completely happy with it. I got it from the Six Sisters Stuff cookbook, but I adapted it a little bit and the results were greasy. So, back to the drawing board I went. I took out quite a bit of butter and it was tons better. When I made it this time, I used some leftover Easter candy chopped up, and they were amazing. Can't wait to try it with Cinnamon Chips and White Chocolate! Blondies Adapted from Six Sisters Stuff 6 tablespoons butter 1 cup packed brown sugar 1/4 cup granulated sugar 1 large egg 2 teaspoons vanilla 1/4 teaspoon Kosher salt 1 1/4 cup all purpose flour 1 1/4 cup chopped Easter chocolate (or whatever you'd like to substitute!) Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray an 8 x 8 inch pan with nonstick cooking spray. The recipe says to line the pan also with parchment paper. I did, but I think that...

I'm not really the type of person that freaks out over what kind of processed foods my children are ingesting.  I probably should be more worried.  In fact my reason for searching for a home made alternative for chocolate milk syrup was purely because I think the Hershey's syrup I buy in Metro in Chengdu is too expensive.  But it's so utterly simple to make your own and if you really are worried about high fructose corn syrup, here's your answer!  Plus it tastes great! Chocolate Syrup (for chocolate milk) 1 1/2 cups sugar 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder 1 cup water dash of salt 1 tsp. vanilla Whisk together sugar, cocoa and salt in a small saucepan.  Add water.  Bring mixture to a boil, stirring occasionally.  Reduce heat and cook 1 minute.  Remove from heat and add vanilla.  Cool and put into a squeeze bottle, or a recycled chocolate syrup bottle.

I've made several batches of jam here in China with my Certo from home.  (Thanks, Paula)  But when a Chinese friend asked me to teach her to make jam, I searched for a pectin-free recipe.  We first made the regular jam, because I knew it would work.  And then later I tried the pectin-free.  And it worked!  It was a little runnier than Certo jam, and kind of sour because of less sugar.  But it was bursting with flavor, a little goes a long ways.  I used end of the season strawberries (they're getting cheaper and cheaper) and lemons from Mrs. Shi.  It made beautiful, dark red jam! Low Sugar Pectin-Free Strawberry Jam 3 cups mashed strawberries 1 1/2 cups sugar juice from 1 1/2 lemons as much of the zest as you like, I grated the peel from 1 lemon Stir lemon juice, zest and sugar together in your pot.  Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly, until sugar dissolves into a syrup. Remove from heat and stir in the strawberries....
