Slow Cooker Honey Sesame Chicken

Mmm, mmm, mmm. Just finished eating this scrumptious meal and had to share it immediately. I love super easy recipes. There is nothing better than putting some ingredients in a crock pot and being able to walk away and have dinner ready for you in a few hours. The smell this puts off makes you mouth water and once it's ready to eat, the dinner table is silent because everyone is too busy shoving their faces to talk.

Slow Cooker Honey Sesame Chicken

Ingredients:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- Salt and pepper
- 1 cup honey
- 1/2 cup yoshidas (or soy sauce)
- 1/2 cup diced onion
- 1/4 cup ketchup
- 2 T vegetable oil (or canola)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 t red pepper flakes (just to add a little flavor, doesn't add much heat)
- 4 T cornstarch dissolved in 6 T water

Season both sides of chicken lightly with salt and pepper and lay in crock pot. In a small bowl, combine honey, yoshidas, onion, ketchup, oil, garlic and pepper flakes. Pour mixture over the chicken and cook on low for 4 hours (or high 2 1/2 hours). Remove chicken from the crock pot and leave the sauce. Dissolve cornstarch into the water and pour into the crock pot. Stir and replace lid, cook sauce on high for 15 minutes. Cut chicken into bite size pieces and return to the crock pot to toss with the sauce. Sprinkle sesame seeds over chicken and serve with rice or noodles.

*I cooked up some veggies to go with it to make it kind of a stir-fry dish! Yum!

White Chocolate Chip & Cranberry Cookies

I was craving a cookie but didn't want an old fashion chocolate chip, or something over powering with sweetness. I had all of these ingredients just sitting in my pantry waiting for me to use to make something quick & delicious. I would say they're healthy for you since i used dried cranberries...but i feel like that would be pushing it :-P Ingredients: -3/4 cup softened butter -3/4 cup brown sugar -1/2 cup white sugar -1 egg -2t vanilla -1 3/4 cup flour -1/4t salt -1/2t baking soda -1 cup dried cranberries -1 cup white chocolate chips Lets get this party started: Preheat oven to 350 Blend butter, sugars, egg & vanilla until smooth. Stir in flour, salt & baking soda (it gets pretty stiff). Add white chocolate chips & cranberries. (at this point i just hand stirred everything in instead of having the dough get stuck to the whisks on the electric mixer). Drop by rounded teaspoons on baking sheet, space them about...
