Week 10 - Bacon Chicken Ranch and MORE pumpkin!!

I can't believe how fast time is flying!  Before we know it Thanksgiving will be here :)

Today I decided to use the crockpot again for a meal I picked out a few weeks ago.  One of Ben's favorite things to eat is bacon, so when I saw a recipe for Bacon Chicken Ranch I knew it would be perfect.

I found this website on facebook and it is really great for crockpot ideas - http://crockpotgirls.com/

For this recipe you need: 4-5 pieces of chicken, 1/2 jar of bacon bits, 1 pkg ranch dressing mix (I used hidden valley), 1 can cream of mushroom soup and 1/2 cup of sour cream.  Mix all ingredients together in a bowl. Spray your crock pot with cooking spray and put the chicken into the crockpot. Top with the soup/dressing mixture. I used my crock pot bag again and it made clean up so easy!!!
 Cook on high 3-4 hours. Serve over rice or pasta.



Ben was a BIG fan of this dish and it was very tasty!  I will definitely make this again. I actually couldn't find this recipe on the site, but found an alternative that sounded just as good - http://crockpotgirls.com/recipes/main-dishes/chicken/bacon-ranch-chicken/

Since I still had more pumpkins, I decided to make some more pumpkin items and found a recipe online for pumpkin chocolate chip cookies. Here is the recipe http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Pumpkin-Chocolate-Chip-Cookies-III/Detail.aspx?prop24=etaf. The only thing I did different was instead of using canned pumpkin, I used 2 cups of pumpkin puree for the mixture. 


Bake for 10 minutes at 325. Let cookies cool before eating. They will be more cake like and taste delicious!!
I froze the rest of the pumpkin puree, so that I could make more pumpkin goodies another time!  Just freeze it in a Tupperware or freezer bag and make sure to take all the air out.

Enjoy!!!  Until next week....
