Fun with Friends..Oh, and a recipe!

Last night the Minnick Family hosted one of our very best friends, Kerri, and her friend over for dinner! The menu was Italian Chicken, potatoes, and carrots(recipe below), steamed broccoli, rice, and crescent rolls...oh, AND strawberry cupcakes from Confectionately Yours!!!! I was curious if Luci would be on her best behavior because as we inch into those toddler months...behavior is sometimes questionable. We decided to feed and bathe her before our dinner guests arrived and I think that helped a lot. She did great!! She loved on everyone, showed off her new "lizard face" (which consists of her sticking her tongue out...sound effects included!!), and pretty much entertained herself while the adults chatted!! I was so proud of her! We had a great time with our dinner guests and hope to host them again soon!!!

Prepare yourself for THE EASIEST, BEST RECIPE EVER!

Italian Chicken, Potatoes, and Carrots

Ingredients: (this feeds 4-5 people...with some leftovers...well unless you are like me and prefer 2nds!)
5-6 boneless, skinless, chicken breasts
4-5 medium potatoes peeled, and cut into 1 inch slices
1 bag of baby carrots
2 bottles of Italian dressing (I used 1 full bottle and 3/4 of another...either way it doesn't matter)

-Layer chicken, potatoes, and carrots into a 6qt or bigger crock pot.
-Pour Italian dressing over everything
-Cook on high 6 hours or low for 8!!!

*We end up using the leftover "gravy" (italian dressing and chicken broth juice) and pouring it over rice to complete the meal!

Seriously...this is soooooo good!!!
