Honey - Garlic Chicken / Multi-Grain Medley with almonds / Depression Cake.

Today I made a few things that did turn out to be really good. I need to add this to the rotation. Who am I kidding I need to start a rotation.

Honey - Garlic Slow Cooker Chicken  I didn't have basal and so I used thyme. I also didn't have a lot of catsup and so I used some pasta sauce I had (Ragu flavored with meat) .

I made Minute Rice - Multi-Grain Medley (with almonds added after it cooked) to go with it.

I also made a depression cake - I know that is not what it was called on this link, but it's another name for it. For icing I melted some butter - added a little cocoa and powdered sugar. I didn't measure, but it was good - a little too good.

Cakes

Cake can be so simple and yet so beautiful. I found some great ideas.

Upside Down Cakes - The idea is pretty much just brown sugar and butter melted in the bottom of a pan. Fruit is place on top of it and batter poured over that. Then bake as usual.

Recipes using Canned Biscuits

Easy and low cost.

Desserts

• Cinnamon Sweet Puffs - I actually made these (see picture). I didn't roll the dough in butter before rolling it in the cinnamon/sugar mixture but other than that I followed the recipe pretty close.
  
  Warning: be careful for expanding marshmallow, one biscuit turned into a mini volcano and  marshmallow lava came out onto my muffin tin.
• Apple dumplings - Don't have a picture, but I have made a version of these.
