We are really enjoy the great weather in Califonia and having lots of fun with family and friends! I haven't figured out how to down load pictures to this computer yet so I can't do a wedding blog yet. But Jordan and Michelle's wedding was wonnderful. Michelle looked gorgeous. The day was perfect. I will put the pictures up as soon as I can. Until then here is a fun post!
I love this blog! This lady uses her crock pot everyday. She had lots of fun and yummy recipes. We tried this one and it was so good. We will make it again.
CrockPot Sweet and Sour Chicken with Mango Lettuce Wraps
–10 oz jar mango jam (I couldn't find mango, and used apricot-orange. It was great)
–3 T soy sauce (La Choy and Tamari wheat free are GF)
–1 T sesame oil
–2 chopped garlic cloves
–1 tsp. chili paste (usually found in the ethnic aisle, but you could use red chili flakes)
–1 inch peeled and grated fresh ginger (or 1 tsp ground)
–2 cucumbers, peeled, seeded, and diced
–1/2 red onion, chopped
–2 whole jalapeno peppers (do NOT cut, just toss in whole)
–1/2 tsp salt
–1/4 tsp black pepper
to add later:
–2 mangoes, peeled and chopped (if you can't find fresh mango, use frozen)
–romaine lettuce leaves
–2 limes
–2 T sesame seeds
The Directions.
I used a 6.5 quart eLume crockpot.
Put the frozen chicken in. Add the jam, soy sauce, sesame oil, and chili paste. Chop the garlic, onion, and cucumber. Add that too.
Add spices and ginger. Toss in the whole jalapeno peppers.
Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours, or high for 4-5. The meat is done when it shreds easily with a fork.
Cut the mango now while the kitchen is already dirty and put it in atupperware for later.
When fully cooked, shred the meat with two large forks, and serve 1/2 cup at a time on large romaine lettuce leaves. Add cubed mango, a squeeze of lime, and a sprinkle of sesame seeds.
And have a Happy New Year!!

This sounds amazing! I’m going to try it this week. And love, love, love the hairdos.
. Your favorite jcouftsiatiin appeared to be on the internet the easiest thing to be aware of. I say to you, I definitely get irked while people consider worries that they just do not know about. You managed to hit the nail upon the top and also defined out the whole thing without having side-effects , people can take a signal. Will likely be back to get more. Thanks
