Slow Cooker Cheesy Chicken And Rice

Sometimes I like to just let the picture draw you in...

My Results: This was amazing, my husband loved it I think he had 4ths. The only change I would do is to make it saucier and to only cook it for 3-4 hours otherwise it starts to dry out.

Grilled Balsamic-Garlic Crusted Pork Tenderloin

I love grilling, especially in the summer here in Arizona so much nicer not having to heat up the house when its 110+ outside!

Chicken & Broccoli Alfredo

Chicken & Broccoli Alfredo (uses Greek yogurt and olive oil instead of heavy cream and butter)


My Results: I personally would have liked twice the sauce but my hubby liked it as is.

Whiter Whites: Is it possible?

My whites are no longer white, and this is something I never notice until I buy something new thats white and then, bam! Do you have this problem too?

How to get your dirty whites clean again...    HOT HOT HOT water, 1 cap of laundry detergent, 1 cup powdered dish washer detergent, 1 cup bleach, 1/2 cup borax.     Tell you what, you have to rewash it once to put softener in but it's the whitest you'll ever see your whites. If you omit the bleach it works great to get stains out of colors too (baby spit up is no longer a stain on OLD clothes)

Original Source (Its acutally a readers comment that gives the tip.)

My results: I tried this twice. The first time I did it in a top load washer set on hot and let it soak and didn't really notice any change in the whiteness. The second time I boiled a spaghetti pot of water and dumped it into my sink that was filling with hot water and let it soak, stirring it occasionally. This time I noticed a change everything wasn't back to "brand new whiteness" but things were whiter. I think if you did this once or twice a year it would keep things brighter and whiter longer and the quality of the fabric makes a difference too, the boys low thread count sheets and towels didn't change at all.

Slow Cooker Creamy Ranch Pork Chops and Potatoes

Slow Cooker Creamy Ranch Pork Chops and Potatoes


My Results: This was good, definitely a cool weather meal, but the flavor was lacking something. I think I'd make this again but play with the seasonings. Also, it makes a lot of food!

Clean Toilet ???

I would do anything to have fresh clean toilets that don't require me to scrub them, especially having two young boys in the house. Hence my search for this pin:

Add a cup of baking soda to the toilet & let it soak for an hour then flush. It will clean the toilet & absorb the odor. (Going to try this!)


My results: Nothing really changed, I didn't notice any major difference from before to after. Boo :(

Hawaiian BBQ Chicken

Sometimes you're just easily sold by how good something looks.



My Results: Nobody really loved this, the adults thought it was ok and the kids hated it! I was imagining the sauce to be sweeter when I read the recipe but it had a little kick to it.
