Crock Pot Marry Me Chicken
Recipe
Ingredients:
4 chicken breasts, skin on or skinless
2 tsp Italian seasoning
Salt and pepper
1 tbsp unsalted butter
1 tsp olive oil (can omit if preferred)
½ cup (120ml) white wine + ½ cup water OR 1 cup (240ml) chicken broth
4 tbsp diced sun-dried tomatoes (drained)
1 tsp sweet paprika
1 tsp garlic granules
1 tsp chicken bouillon (if using wine)
1 cup (225g) sour cream or heavy cream
1 tbsp cornstarch diluted in 2 tbsp cold water (optional)
2-3 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
2 tbsp flat leaf parsley or fresh basil, chopped
Directions:
Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper and sprinkle with the dried Italian herbs.
Heat the butter and oil in a pan or directly in the slow cooker if it has a browning function. Pan fry, skin side down, until golden.
Turn the chicken breasts over (transfer to the slow cooker if not already using) and pour in the wine or chicken broth. Season with paprika, garlic granules, and add the sun-dried tomatoes.
Cover and cook on the LOW setting for 90 minutes – 2 hours or until the chicken registers an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
Optional: make a cornstarch slurry by mixing it with a little cold water and stir into the sauce ten minutes before cooking time is over. The cornstarch will need to be heated through to activate and thicken the sauce. If you are using sour cream, you can leave this out.
Pile the chicken to one side and stir in the sour cream or heavy cream until incorporated. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and fresh parsley.
Serve the chicken over rice or noodles, with mashed potatoes, or however you like!

Low carb cheesy stuffed meatloaf bites offer a delicious twist on the traditional meatloaf recipe, making them ideal for anyone wanting to reduce their carbohydrate intake without compromising on taste. These bite-sized treats are baked in a muffin tin, which not only makes them convenient but also excellent for portion management. Derived from classic meatloaf—a beloved dish in numerous American homes—these bites feature a delightful cheesy surprise at their core. They are perfect for meal prep, family gatherings, or as appetizers for parties.

These meatloaf bites pair excellently with a fresh green salad or roasted vegetables to create a well-rounded meal. For a cozy side dish, you might serve them with creamy cauliflower mash or zesty coleslaw. If you’re hosting, presenting these bites with an assortment of dipping sauces, such as spicy ketchup, garlic aioli, or tangy mustard, can turn them into a hit among guests.

Ingredients
1 lb ground beef
1/2 cup almond flour
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup chopped onion
1 clove garlic, minced
1 large egg
1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
12 small cubes of cheddar cheese
Directions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin.
In a large bowl, mix together the ground beef, almond flour, Parmesan cheese, chopped onion, minced garlic, egg, almond milk, Worcestershire sauce, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper until everything is well integrated.
Divide the meat mixture into 12 equal portions.
Take one portion and flatten it slightly in your hand, placing a cube of cheddar cheese in the center. Encapsulate the cheese by wrapping the meat around it to form a ball, then place it in a muffin cup. Repeat this with the remaining meat mixture and cheese cubes.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the meat is fully cooked and the tops are lightly browned.
Let the meatloaf bites cool for a few minutes before removing them from the muffin tin. Serve warm.
Variations & Tips
For a different flavor, consider using ground turkey or chicken instead of beef. You can also substitute with various cheeses like mozzarella or pepper jack for added flair. Incorporating finely chopped bell peppers or mushrooms into the meat mixture can provide extra flavor and texture. For a spicier dish, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chopped jalapeños. If you’re aiming for a dairy-free option, try using a dairy-free cheese alternative.

Ingredients:
4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
4 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 tablespoons cocoa powder (for chocolate cupcakes, optional)
¼ teaspoon baking powder
Pinch of salt
3 tablespoons milk (any variety)
2 tablespoons vegetable oil (or melted butter)
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
Optional: chocolate chips, nuts, or dried fruits for added texture
Instructions:

1. Gather and Prepare Ingredients:

In a large mixing bowl or a microwave-safe mug, combine the flour, sugar, cocoa powder (if making chocolate cupcakes), baking powder, and salt. Mix well with a fork or spoon to combine all the dry ingredients.
2. Add Wet Ingredients:

Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Stir the mixture until smoothly combined and there are no lumps. If you want to add chocolate chips or any other mix-ins, fold them in at this stage.
3. Microwave the Cupcake:

Place the cupcake mixture in the microwave. Cook on high for about 1 to 1.5 minutes, checking after 1 minute. Microwaves vary in power, so cooking time may differ; the cupcake is done when it has risen and is firm to the touch. Be careful not to overcook, as it can become dry.
4. Let It Cool:

Allow the cupcake to cool for a minute after microwaving, as it will be very hot. If you made it in a mug, you can either eat it straight from there or carefully turn it out onto a plate.
5. Serve and Enjoy:

You can enjoy the cupcake plain, or add a scoop of frosting or whipped cream on top. A dusting of powdered sugar or a drizzle of chocolate syrup can enhance its appearance and taste.
Tips for Customization:
Flavor Variations:

For vanilla cupcakes, simply omit the cocoa powder and enjoy a classic flavor.
Try adding a sprinkle of cinnamon for a warm spice flavor or almond extract instead of vanilla for a different twist.
Toppings:

Consider icing your cupcake with your favorite frosting after it has cooled completely, or drizzle with caramel or chocolate sauce.
Fresh fruit, such as sliced strawberries or raspberries, can also make a delicious topping.
Serving Size:

This recipe makes one cupcake. If you want to make multiple cupcakes, simply multiply the ingredients by the desired number and cook them in separate mugs or bowls in batches.
Storage:
These cupcakes are best eaten fresh, but if you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days.
This 5-Minute cupcake recipe is perfect for a quick dessert or when you have a sudden craving for something sweet. With just a few simple ingredients and minimal effort, you can enjoy a delightful treat that melts in your mouth! Bake away, and let me know how your cupcakes turn out!

Classic Banana Milkshake Recipe

This recipe is for one serving. You can easily double or triple it for more servings.

Prep time: 2 minutes Cook time: 0 minutes Total time: 2 minutes

Ingredients:

• 1 large ripe banana (or 2 small ripe bananas), preferably frozen in chunks for a thicker, colder shake
• 1 cup (240ml) cold milk (dairy or non-dairy like almond milk, soy milk, oat milk)
• 1-2 tablespoons sugar or other sweetener (like honey, maple syrup, or agave nectar), to taste (optional, depending on banana ripeness and preference)
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional, but highly recommended for flavor)
• A few ice cubes (optional, if not using frozen banana or for an extra cold shake)
• Additional banana slices for garnish (optional)

Equipment:

• Blender

Instructions:

1. Prepare the banana: If using a fresh banana, peel it and break it into a few pieces. If using a frozen banana, simply take it out of the freezer.
2. Combine ingredients: Add the banana pieces, cold milk, sugar (if using), and vanilla extract (if using) to your blender. If you want a thicker, colder shake and aren’t using frozen banana, add a few ice cubes now.
3. Blend: Secure the lid on your blender and blend on high speed until smooth and creamy. If the shake is too thick, add a little more milk, a tablespoon at a time, and blend again. If it’s too thin, you can add a few more frozen banana chunks or ice cubes and blend again.
4. Taste and adjust: Taste the milkshake and add more sugar or sweetener if desired, then blend briefly to incorporate.
5. Serve: Pour the banana milkshake into a tall glass. Garnish with a few fresh banana slices on the rim or floating in the shake, as shown in the image. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Tips for the Best Banana Milkshake:

• Frozen Bananas are Key: For the thickest, coldest, and creamiest milkshakes without watering them down with too much ice, use ripe bananas that you’ve peeled, sliced, and frozen beforehand.
• Ripeness Matters: Use very ripe bananas (those with brown spots) for the sweetest, most flavorful milkshake, reducing the need for added sugar.
• Adjust Sweetness: The amount of sugar needed will depend on the ripeness of your bananas and your personal preference.
• Add-ins: Get creative!
  • Protein Boost: Add a scoop of your favorite protein powder.
  • Nutty Flavor: A tablespoon of peanut butter or almond butter.
  • Spice: A pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg.
  • Chocolate: A tablespoon of cocoa powder or chocolate syrup for a chocolate banana milkshake.
  • Oats: A few tablespoons of rolled oats for extra fiber and thickness.

Strawberry Mango Smoothie

This vibrant and refreshing smoothie is packed with the sweet and tangy flavors of fresh strawberries and juicy mangoes. Perfect for a quick breakfast, a healthy snack, or a delicious way to cool down!

Yields: 1 serving Prep time: 5 minutes

Ingredients:

• 1 cup frozen strawberries (or fresh strawberries with 1/2 cup ice)
• 1 cup frozen mango chunks (or fresh mango with 1/2 cup ice)
• 1/2 cup liquid (such as water, milk, almond milk, coconut water, or orange juice – adjust for desired thickness)
• Optional: 1-2 teaspoons honey, maple syrup, or agave nectar (if you prefer it sweeter)
• Optional: A squeeze of lime or lemon juice for brightness
• Optional additions for extra nutrition:
  • 1/2 ripe banana (for creaminess and natural sweetness)
  • 1/4 cup Greek yogurt (for protein)
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds or flax seeds (for fiber and omega-3s)
  • A handful of spinach (you won’t taste it!)

Instructions:

1. Combine ingredients: Add the frozen strawberries, frozen mango chunks, and your chosen liquid to a high-speed blender.
2. Blend: Start blending on low speed, gradually increasing to high. Blend until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides of the blender with a spatula if needed.
3. Adjust consistency: If the smoothie is too thick, add more liquid (a tablespoon at a time) and blend again until you reach your desired consistency. If it’s too thin, add a few more frozen fruit pieces or a handful of ice and blend again.
4. Sweeten (optional): Taste the smoothie. If you prefer it sweeter, add honey, maple syrup, or agave nectar to taste and blend briefly to combine.
5. Serve: Pour the smoothie into a tall glass.
6. Garnish (optional): Garnish with a slice of fresh mango and a whole strawberry, and a fun straw, just like in the picture!

Tips for the perfect smoothie:

• Use frozen fruit: Frozen fruit is key for a thick, cold smoothie without needing too much ice, which can dilute the flavor.
• Adjust liquid: The amount of liquid you use will determine the thickness of your smoothie. Start with less and add more as needed.
• Layering: For best blending, add liquid first, then soft fruits/greens, and finally frozen fruits on top.
• Experiment: Don’t be afraid to adjust the ratios or add other fruits or ingredients to suit your taste!
