Today I made Honey BBQ Kielbasa in the slow cooker. It was soooooooooo good! Spray the bottom of the slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray. Cut the kielbasa in 1/2" slices and put them in the slow cooker. Add about 2-3tbsp. honey and 1/4 c BBQ sauce. Add a bit of water, so it doesn't burn on the bottom of the slow cooker. Cover. Cook on LOW for 8 HOURS. Enjoy!

Italian chicken and bell peppers!
Tonight, I felt like getting in touch with my roots. I made Chicken with Green Bell peppers in the slow cooker. When it was almost done, I cooked some Penne pasta separately, then added it to the chicken and bell peppers.
Ingredients:
4-6 boneless/skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1" cubes
2-3 bell peppers (I used green)
3-4 garlic cloves, minced
1 tsp. cumin
1/2-1 c. Italian dressing
1/4-1/2 c. vegetable or chicken broth
Salt and pepper to taste
Parsley
Parmesan Cheese
Directions:
Spray slow cooker with non-stick spray. Cut chicken breasts into 1" cubes (bite size), place in slow cooker. Cut bell peppers into strips, then into 1" pieces. Place peppers in slow cooker. Pour remaining ingredients over top of chicken and peppers. Add spices. Cover. Cook on LOW for 5 HOURS. When done. Add pasta to slow cooker. Then add parsley and parmesan cheese. Enjoy!

Gobbledy good turkey and peppers!
I had ground turkey and green bell peppers, so I decided to make a ground turkey and bell pepper concoction in the skillet. For a side (or a carb), I made cream cheese mashed potatoes, with red potatoes (SKIN ON...because that's where all the nutrients are). Nutrients are good for you :)
Skillet Ingredients:
1/2 lb. ground turkey
1-2 bell peppers (any color...I used green)
3 cloves garlic, minced
1-2 tsp. cumin
1-2 tsp. ground cloves
Salt ( I used sea salt) and black pepper...to taste!
Directions:
Preheat skillet to 250-300 degrees. Coat skillet with non-stick spray or EVOO. Put garlic in, then put the ground turkey in skillet, breaking it apart a bit, so it cooks thoroughly. Add the bell peppers. Then add the spices. Cook for about 15 mins. or so, until the meat is done and the peppers are just a little tender, but crispy. Enjoy!
Cream cheese smashed potatoes:
4-8 oz. cream cheese
4-6 red potatoes
Black pepper to taste
1-2 tsp. butter (optional)
Directions:
Cut the potatoes in half. Place potatoes in a saucepan and cover them with water. Add a little salt. Let the potatoes come to a boil. They will be done, when you can easily slip a fork in and out of them. Drain. Put them back in the saucepan. Add remaining ingredients and smash those potatoes. Enjoy!
