While this recipe is not heavy or hearty, it is a gradual fall to that place. It is my Strawberry and Thyme Slow Cooked Spaghetti Squash.

Slow Cooked Bacon-Wrapped Chicken Drizzled with Honey
The Slow Cooked Bacon-Wrapped Chicken Drizzled with Honey recipe comes to you today directly from my new e-book.
You saw the title, and your mouth began to water.
It’s early morning, but you couldn’t care less.
If you choose to quickly run home and get this in your slow cooker, I promise not to tell anyone.
First things, first: buy some chicken breasts and legs.
And trim those babies up. I mean, you don’t absolutely have to. I did.
Let them sit there for a minute while you place the celery, carrots, ginger, thyme, sage and rosemary in a bowl. Then, roll the chicken in the mixture.
Remove chicken from mixture and place on a flat surface. Wrap the bacon around the chicken pieces however you’d like. I used one piece of bacon for each of the legs and 2 for each of the breasts.
Place the leftover mixture from bowl on the bottom of your slow cooker with ¼. C. water.
Drizzle a little honey over each piece of chicken/bacon (No more than 1 tsp. per piece).
And that’s it. Place all chicken/bacon pieces in your slow cooker. Cover and cook on low for approximately 6-8 hours (I did mine on low for 6 and then on “warm” for 1.5, as I had to go to the gym 🙂 )
Once it’s all done, take a piece of chicken out and pour some of the juice and veggies from the bottom over it and enjoy!
Notes: you can use more veggies if you’d like. You also don’t have to wrap the chicken in bacon. Then again, you can wrap more bacon around if you wish!

Baked Super Bowl Chicken Drummies
It’s Super Bowl time, and I have the perfect Baked Super Bowl Chicken Drummies snack (or dinner) for you.
These are ridiculously easy to make, and I’ve prepared 4 different “flavors” for you to choose from.
Start out with simple chicken legs.
Take the skin off.
Brush the legs with olive oil.
Mix up the flavor or flavors you want to try.
Place them on your pan.
Bake ’em.
Soak up the awesome smells they bring your house, but just for a minute…..you’ll be ready to eat them immediately!
Enjoy!
p.s. I won’t lie, the “tea” ones were probably my favorite, and probably because they were so unique. Ryan’s favorites were the Basil Garlic legs. I didn’t try the Spicy ones, but Ryan wanted me to make note for y’all that they are super good, but very spicy….enter at your own risk.
