Simple Slow Cooker Chicken

Some times, it gets busy.  This week, for my current class I have about 20 to 30 hours worth of homework to do, in addition to discussion work, and the reading. Plus, since this is an area I am weak in, I have additional reading in supplement sources to do. Also, I have a race on Saturday that I need to train a bit for. Also,  I have re-worked my resume, and now am getting some additional interest from prospective employers.   Oh, and I am working on getting a study group together over the weekend to review before class next Monday.  

Hence, I am intending to do some slow cooking this week. This is on the list to make: 


To get something that looks like this you need some simple things:     
~ 2 cups Hot Sauce. We used Frank's RedHot Buffalo Wing Sauce-12 oz  for this verison, however what ever hot sauce you like the taste of.  We are about flavor, not heat.  
~1 tablespoon of Southwestern Seasoning.  We used Pampered Chef Southwestern Seasoning Mix
~1 package of chicken (ours package was 4 breasts) 

I cooked this mixture in the slow cooker for 4 hours on high, or 8 hours on low.   Now I get told by a lot of people that I am "brave" for leaving a slow cooker going on while I bop about doing whatever I am doing including leaving the house. It uses the same amount of power as our fridge, so I don't feel that it's a fire risk. Our models (Yeah, we have two for big parties, we usually do a side in one and a main dish in the other) have a timer, so when it hit the end time, it switches to warm.  HOWEVER that being said, any lost of power is an instant food goes into the trash because their is now telling what could start growing in the nice warm most environment that the slow cooker has going on, especially with chicken.  So if you come home to flashing clocks, and a had a slow cooker meal going, just toss it.  Better safe than sick. 

Anyway back to the meal.  After the time is done, I serve this one or two ways.  I can serve it with rice or some other side. 

Then the other option is to serve it on a hard roll/bread of your choice.  

Now I know what we are having for dinner.  Yum.

Later ~

Migraines and Management

I have had migraines for years. I have had them for close to 30 years now, but at times it feels more like 300 years.  I have taken a lot of stuff to help with migraines. Unfortunately when you lose your medical benefits, you have to adjust.  And by adjust I mean find things that work that don't need to come from a doctor you can't afford.  So here is stuff that I take when the pounding in my head is starting off.  I nearly had a heart attack when Excedrin Migraine when off the market, and I swear that Advil Migraine for me, works on the ones that are step up from the Excedrin but not enough to warrant using one of the limited supply of prescription medication I have.    Now these are the key, though the bottles may change and thus the amount of pills but I swear that Magnesium and fish oil have made the biggest difference in my brain.  The B-Complex plus additional B6 also work really well.  I can tell if I am messing up taking my vitamins.  The other stuff is just

Friday Favorites - 9/13/19

My helper in my planner My day job is as a back-office manager in a high-end showroom.  I process a lot of paperwork.  Right now, my favorites are going to have a workday theme as pulling 10 hour days does that to a person.   So here are some things that I always work with as well as peek at my planner, since it seems to be planner season on a bunch of different blogs. Beware, I used my Amazon Associate links to create this post, so if you click on it, I am get some commission.  However, these are all legit things that I use currently but was too lazy to go get pictures of.  I use the Passion Planner currently.   I actually got it back when they were clearing out the 2019 planners, so I didn't spend a lot on it. I am still tweaking how I am using it. I am trying to get in the habit of using it as the one location to keep all the things in.  Not just work, but notes about my works in progress for writing, important information, my vision board, and so forth in one main lo

I spent Labor Day weekend trying to get my life in order.

I was going to do a well researched, thoughtful post about time management.  Cause right now, not even before starting at Grad School, I am always racing against the clock.  I know part of my problem is that I have serious problem with the internet and get sucked in.  So I am working on that.   Yet between family obligations, housework, looking for work, helping with various projects, volunteering at the Squad, Mystical Wonders needs, the desire to exercise, social obligations I would like to do... I feel like I am being pulled in about 10 directions at any given moment. So I spent time reading about different methods of time management,  blocking out time, the value of multitasking, the value of not multitasking, and other things.  You know what?  I didn't gain any wisdom.  It seems like everyone, their brother, and great aunt has their own ideas about a "fail proof" way to get life in order and keep things humming along. From using post it notes on laminated pages in
