Thumbs up for another recipe success for Liam.  Since we raised our own chickens last year and had lots of whole birds in the freezer I’ve been doing a number of the roast \/ potatoes \/ carrots in the crockpot dinners only with a twist.  Instead of roast, I used chicken.<\/span>
<\/a>

First thing in the morning (well, I mean after the first cup or two of coffee which goes without saying), sprinkle the whole, frozen chicken liberally with garlic salt and Lawrys season salt (didn’t I tell you those two items are staples at our house?).  Sometimes I switch up the seasonings and use Italian seasoning or lots of basil or whatever happens to be the mood of the hour.  Place breast side down in the crockpot and turn on high (you can turn it down at lunchtime if it’s getting done too quickly).  Add water til it’s about half full.  Let it simmer until around 1:30 or two then add potatoes, carrots, and fresh mushrooms if you have them.  I don’t peel the potatoes, but I do quarter them so they get done quickly … and so they fit better into the little crevices.  <\/span>

What I love, love, love about this meal is that <\/span>
1. It’s so easy (pretty key point since allergy free cooking is mostly, not quick and easy).<\/span>
2. We all like (very important since sometimes allergy free cooking is blah) it.<\/span>
3. The potatoes and carrots are so wonderfully flavored from cooking in the chicken broth that Liam can easily get by without any butter or sour cream.  The rest of us <\/span>could<\/span> should, too.<\/span>
4. But what I like best about this meal is that the last time I made it, I searched around and found <\/span>this wonderful cornbread recipe.<\/a>  It was heavy but super-moist and somehow it made me feel as though we were living back in the pioneer days.  You know, like back before there were little boxes of Jiffy corn bread mix.<\/span>
<\/a>

Liam ate and ate cornbread and kept making little “num num” noises.  Happy child.  Happy Mommy.  Happy all of us.<\/span>
