Slow Cooker Chex Mix – Mmmmmm

23 Jan

Our family loves Chex mix, but really, who doesn’t? I like this recipe because it is easier than the traditional oven recipe.

Crockpot Chex Mix from my favorite blog, A Year of Slow Cooking

- 5 Cups General Mills Chex Cereal (We use a mixture of the rice, corn and wheat cereal)

- 1-2 cups of peanuts

- 2 cups pretzel sticks

- 1/2 tsp onion powder

- 1/2 tsp seasoned salt

- 3 T butter

- 1 1/2 T Worcestershire Sauce

- Add butter in the crockpot and turn on low to melt a little

- Add onion powder, seasoned salt, Worcestershire sauce

- Add remaining ingredients

- Stir. Butter might not be totally melted and that is fine.

- Cover and cook on low for 2-3 hours, stirring every 45 min

- Dump out on a cookie sheet to cool.

Enjoy!

Artichoke Hummus – Easy snack!

18 Jan

This artichoke hummus is fast, easy and yummy. Plus, my girls love it and it’s a good way to get veggies. This is from the Food for Friends cookbook.

In a mini food processor, combine:

- 1 can artichoke hearts

- 1 can garbanzo beans (aka chickpeas, but I really love saying gar-ban-zo!)

- 1 T olive oil

- salt and pepper to taste

 

Blend. Serve. Piece of cake!

I serve with cucumbers, pepper strips, and crackers.
