Mojo Chicken in the CrockPot


Who can resist a recipe with “Mojo” in it’s name?  I found this flavorful Mojo chicken recipe at Run DMT and had to try it.  I’ve tweaked the recipe for the slow cooker and added some veggies to complete the meal.  Cooking the whole chicken in the slow cooker guarantees it’s going to be juicy, plus you don’t have to worry about the chicken drying out or burning.  You can still have crispy skin by following the direction here.  I hope you’ll try this chicken with pizaaz!

Don’t forget to save your bones and make stock in your crockpot!  Mojo chicken stock makes an absolutely delicious Mojo Soup (recipe here).

How to Cook Bacon in the Oven


I cannot cook bacon in a skillet.  I don’t know why, but I can never get it to cook evenly.  I hate standing over the hot skillet and being hit by flying bacon grease.  Plus, it takes forever to cook a whole pound when you only have one skillet.

Several years back, I found the perfect solution.  Cook the bacon in the oven!  The oven does a much better job of cooking the bacon evenly and cooks a whole pound at the same time! No more standing over the hot skillet and dodging hot grease.

What I really like best about this method is that I can stick the bacon in the oven to cook while I finish the rest of the meal.  For instance, I can put the bacon in the oven while I fix protein packed pancakes, or I can put the bacon in the oven while I make dairy-free potato soup.  It saves me a lot of time!

Gallo Pinto Recipe

This is our go-to beans and rice recipe.   Gallo Pinto is a common dish served in Costa Rica and Nicaragua.  The Worcestershire sauce and ginger give this beans and rice dish a unique smokey flavor.  The Costa Ricans are known to serve Gallo Pinto aside eggs or meat.  We typically enjoy it as a main dish.   My kids like to garnish their Gallo Pinto with cheese and sour cream.
