Crock Pot
Does anybody have any good Crock-Pot recipes? I am looking for meals that are fast and can cook all day without me cooking all day! :) Thanks!
A Side of Corn
Here is a great variation to your normal canned corn for a side.
2 cans of corn
1 can diced green chilies
8 oz. cream cheese
Melt the cream cheese in a pot on the stove on medium. Add the corn and chillies until well heated. YUM!! I will post a picture next time we make them.

Hot Rolls
2 pkgs. yeast (4 tsp. yeast) - 1 pkg. = 2 tsp.
1/2 c. warm water
3/4 c. cooking oil
1 T. salt
2 cups warm milk
1/2 cup sugar
2 eggs
6-8 cups flour (until it doesn't stick to your fingers)
Put oil, salt, and sugar in large mixing bowl. Add warm milk. Stir until sugar dissolves. Add yeast softened in 1/2 cup warm water. Stir in beaten eggs. Add flour. Mix thoroughly till smooth. Cover with aluminum foil and store in refrigerator - at least 2 hours. Dough however will keep several days.
When ready to use, sprinkle four on table or counter - large surface. Place 1/2 the dough on the floured surface and roll in to a big circle about 1/4 inch thick. cut like a pizza into 12 pie pieces and roll from the wide end down to the tip - croissant rolls. This also is good dough for cinnamon buns, pizza, or just rolls to put in muffin tins.
Bake until very light - just a touch of gold on the top - about 15 minutes at 425.
Brush lightly with butter when they come out.

Apple Crisp
Here is a great desert! I have made it a few times now, it's my mother-in-law's and it's the best ever - easy too - and that's the best right?
6 cups diced apples (that is 3 large apples I have found)
2 cups sugar
2 heaping T. flour
dash of salt
cinnamon to taste (I do probably about 1 1/2 T. - maybe more, I just shake it on)
Pour that in a 9x13 ungreased pan. For the topping mix the following in a bowl.
1 1/2 cups oatmeal
1 1/2 cups flour
1 1/2 cups brown sugar
1/2 t. baking powder
1/2 t. salt
2/3 c. melted butter
mix well until butter is absorbed by the dry stuff. sprinkle over top the apples. (We like more topping so we 1 and 1/2 that topping.)
Bake at 350 for 25 minutes.
Serve with whip cream or ice cream or plain - YUMM!

Chicken Adobo
This is my absolute FAVORITE dish EVER!!! My husband served in the Philippines and this is one dish he makes - YUM!!!
Chicken Adobo
6 tsp. vegetable oil
6 cloves garlic, minced
2 tsp. ginger, grated
3 chicken breasts cut into about 3 inch squares
2 tsp. salt
1 c. native Philippine vinegar (buy at an Asian store) or distilled white vinegar (Philippine vinegar is sweeter and doesn't have such a bite)
1/4 tsp. black pepper
1 cup water
4 bay leaves
Heat the oil in a frying pan and saute the garlic and ginger. Add the chicken pieces and lightly brown. Add the vinegar, salt, pepper, water, and bay leaves and simmer, covered for 30 minutes or until the chicken is tender. Continue to simmer on low heat uncovered, until the liquid is reduced by half. Serve with rice.
For a sweet, thick sauce, add 1 cup canned coconut milk after reducing the adobo sauce; simmer, uncovered for a few extra minutes. (this is really good)
Here is a picture of our Philippine vinegar, it's called Datu Puti - you can probably find it at an Asian market/store - we found ours in Provo. My mom made this with normal vinegar and said it turned out really yummy.
