Chicken Dinner

Crock-pots are one of my favorite ways to cook dinner, especially when I'm working. I had a nice long break, but I now have to get back to the real world. So I wanted to share this recipe that I found because it's easy and delicious. It's for barbecue chicken sandwiches. Here's the finished product:

What you need: A crock pot, 2 chicken breasts, 1 12 oz. jar of barbecue sauce ( I use Sweet Baby Rays), 1/2 c. Italian dressing, 1/4 cup of brown sugar, and 2 tbl. Worcestershire sauce.

What you do: Put the 2 pieces of chicken in the crock pot. In a small bowl mix all the other ingredients and then pour over chicken. Cook in the crockpot 3-4 hours on high or 6-8 hours on low. Once it's cooked it looks like there is a lot of juice...but don't worry. Then take the chicken out and shred it with 2 forks and put back in. Mix well and then enjoy on some buns. Jeff and I normally have this with some corn on the cob. YUM!


I normally am not a barbecue fan, but this is one of my new favorites!

Tip: Use a crock-pot liner, they make clean up SOOO easy!

Bunny

About a year ago I got a bunny as my classroom pet. I have wanted a Netherland Dwarf bunny for quite some time because of their cute ears and they stay small. Small bunny = perfect for classoom life. So after the beloved Max (my old guinea pig) left us, I knew now was the time to get a bunny! Thank goodness my sister Anna looks on Craigs List all the time for animals because she actually found a Netherland Dwarf Bunny that was up for adoption! YAY! I got her a couple of days after I found the post and was so excited. The kids decided to name her Maddi after a character in the book Fever 1793 . If you like historical fiction books,  you should check it out because it's really good! Little did I know that bunnies are full of personality! On her first day home she bit me 3 times and got me 2 times with her nails. Good thing is now she likes me (most of the time) and is much more friendly! She lets the kids in the class pet her and feed her. She also hops around the classroom....

Katie

The last three weeks have been a bit of a whilrwind for my family. We found out that my sister, Katie, had stage 3 ovarian cancer. She went into the ER because she was having pains in her abdomen, and they found a football sized tumor. My sister is such a strong woman and was walking around the day after her surgery that removed the tumor! Katie decided to have some fun with her hair before her chemo treatments start. It's a good thing that we have a sister that is a hairdresser, she can do so many fun things to hair. This is what Katie looked like to start: Here is Lauren applying bleach to Katie's hair: Here is Katie as a blonde....I never thought I'd see one of my sisters EVER with blonde hair. I like the analogy she used...she said she looked like Orlando Bloom in Lord of the Rings. :) All the fun colors for Katie's hair: The final product: Please pray for Katie as she starts her first chemo treatment today! Love you sister w...

Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving started off with a sister, husbands, and dog walk before we stuffed ourselves silly! A Riegel girl tradition started many years ago after watching Winnie the Pooh. Pooh and his friends play a game where they all put a stick in the river and see whose stick comes out on the other side first. We've called it Pooh sticks since we started playing. I won!  Back at the parents house ready to eat: Naomi enjoyed her first Thanksgiving meal: After Naomi's nap we went to have Thanksgiving with Jeff's family: Naomi enjoyed playing will all of the kids And Uncle Nich: Brother time:
