I've been trying to be better about meal planning because I've fallen off the wagon the last few weeks.
Monday: crock pot bbq chicken, smoked gouda mashed potatoes, peas, carrots
Tuesday: leftovers
Wednesday: Ham slice, sides tbd
Thursday: raviolis
Friday: the kiddo and I are on our own because DH has his work Christmas party. I'm thinking about springing for Panera for us.
Re: what's cooking?
Thanks for the recipe, NQ! I will be doing that next week at some point. I just emailed DH today to ask him to brainstorm some things we can do in the crock pot now that I'm back to work.
Tonight - chicken legs with a hickory bbq buffalo rub, green bean salad, and annie's mac and cheese
Tues - pork roast in the crock pot with potatoes, carrots, mushrooms and onions...and Ken's vidalia onion dressing. My mom makes this often with either pork or chicken thighs and it's so delicious
Weds - butternut squash ravioli with goat cheese cream sauce
Thurs - leftover pork
Friday - work event...dinner there.
Saturday - family party...word on the street there will be lobster mac n cheese. sign me up!
Sunday - girls' cookie baking night...probably pizza

The skin didn't bother me at all. The breast meat wasn't under any juices so the skin there was similar to a roasted chicken from a grocery story that's been sitting in a plastic container. The leg meat ends up being submerged so the meat there was so juicy that I don't even recall having an opinion on what the skin was like. You're not going to get a crispy skin from this recipe but the meat is so good it didn't really matter to me. I couldn't lift the chicken out of the crock pot without the wings and legs falling off. It was super tender.
