crock pot for the last time this week. I cooked, served, and cleaned up all four dishes, and they were all delicious.
I am seriously considering my crock pot for all of my cooking. It made life so easy this week. Plus, I have a gadzillion more recipes to try sent in by all of you.
Just wanted to share my results on the last two recipes.
Thursday, we enjoyed:
Chicken Lasagna by Camille Cordero
(who knew you could make lasagna in a crock pot, but it really worked)
I have never had Chicken Lasagna before so this was really fun.
How Easy? 7
This was a little bit more time consuming because you had to layer everything, but all in all I think it only took me about 25 minutes to put together, and then was nothing more to do.
Taste? 7
All of the flavors went well together. I wonder how this would taste with some Alfredo sauce in it. Stella loved it.
Appearance? 7
This didn't stay together all that well, or I am just a dork when it comes to serving it. The spinach however gave it a pretty color.
Clean Up? 9
This was easy to clean up. I used a crock pot liner so all I had to do was pull it out and dump the leftovers in a container. There was no other sides to clean up.
Cost? 7
This meal cost around $11.00, but it made a lot.
Chicken Cordon Bleu by Yasemin Rice
We had this dish tonight. It was great to throw it in before church, and have a meal when we got home.
I think Yasemin was at an advantage because Sunday dinner always tastes so good. After 3 hours of church everything tastes better.
How Easy? 7
This took some time to coat all the breasts and wrap them up. Next time, I am just going to add the seasonings to the sauce. I also might try using breaded chicken tenders.
Taste? 9
This was great. The flavors go so well together. My hubby had seconds and he rarely does that.
Appearance? 9
It looked so beautiful served over the rice. The ham gave the dish a nice punch of color.
Clean up? 8
Fairly simple to clean up. You still have the rice pan, and whatever you cook the veggies in to clean up. All in all very simple.
Cost? 6
This meal cost about $13 to make. We have enough leftovers for one meal for Jonathan and myself.
I will share the winner tomorrow so stay tuned.

Yasemine Rice?!?! That's my buddy! Hope she wins....
Please share some of the recipes! I LOVE crock pot cooking. I just got the best chocolate cake recipe off of cjane - check it out. DELISH!
If you use the plastic crock pot liners when cooking in your crock pot, it will make clean up a cinch.
I checked out those pillows from V & co. I think we need to try to make some when you come. I don't think I will need pillows for my living room...we will see, but I can use them somewhere else.
