I don’t know about you, but with this weather I’m really not inspired to do any heavy duty cooking. I want a simple meal I can throw together so I can get back to curling up on the couch. And because of my “curling up” habits, I haven’t been to the store recently. Well as they say, necessity is the mother of invention. I scavenged my cabinets for items that seemingly go together, threw these five ingredients in a crock pot and let it sit on low for 7 hours. Minimal effort for a delicious meal. Not to mention it made my house smell like I had been slaving over a hot stove all day – bonus!

• 1 pack of cubed chicken
• 7 oz. of Italian dressing
• Parmesan cheese
• 4-6 mini potatoes scrubbed & cut in half or wedges
• 1/2 bag of mini carrots

I layered the ingredients in the way they’re listed, because I thought “the chicken should be on the bottom to cook!” But honestly, it really doesn’t matter how it’s all thrown in. Do it however you want, go crazy!

Happy Eating, XO.
