Pinterest Challenge - Crock Pot Italian Turkey Meatballs

So for my challenge today I thought I would go with another food item. I found this crock pot healthy recipe and it looked pretty good. I also wanted a way to redeem myself because last time I made something with ground turkey it didn't come out too good.

I have to say this was super easy to make, and came out awesome. It was a little spicy but in a good way. It passed the husband test as he said he would eat it again, in fact he went back for thirds!

I baked the meatballs for the 15 mins as called for in the oven as I only had 3 hours to cook these.

Recipe can be found here.

Pinterest Challenge - Teriyaki Chicken

So I took the easy way out again today, well sorta. I went for another food category for my pinterest challenge. I picked a crock pot dish to make for today as I love using my crock pot. I also went for another chicken dish. I'm a very picky eater and don't like alot of foods, but I do love chicken.

For today's challenge I picked Teriyaki Chicken from  this great link on how to prep freezer bags for crock pot recipes. I purchased all the stuff to make up the two bags and stored one in the freezer for a later date. Its such a genius idea, I love simple and practical ideas.

I threw all the ingredients in my crock pot before shuffling off to work and came home to a glorious smelling house. Only problem was I got home later than expected so the chicken cooked a little longer than I planned. The chicken came out a little tough, next time I will use the tenderizer to beat the tar out of it before I throw it in the freezer bags, or the crock pot. Overall though it was a very tasty dish. I have no rating from the hubby department however as he wasn't home this evening to try it, he can eat the leftovers tomorrow.
