Today, you will have the pleasure and sheer joy or watching me make the best chicken dinner in the whole.
wide.
world.

Not kidding.
And to make it even better...
it's easy!

Here we go!

1 jar Pineapple Salsa from Traverse Bay Farms
3-4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts

1. Put chicken breasts in crock pot
2. Pour the award-winning Pineapple Salsa on top of the chicken
3. Cook on low for 8 hours



No joke, this is the most tender, sweetest dish ever...with just a little kick to it.
 
I think this now might have to be my go-to meal when I can't think of anything else to make! And I could just kick myself...because I didn't get a picture of the chicken!!! {so embarrassing}
The family literally eat it so quickly, there was no time. {sorry - try it - you'll love it}



Traverse Bay Farms offer a wide variety of award-winning fruit salsas all made in small batches with fresh fruit. Read the reviews on their website, people are really going crazy over their salsas. I knew my family would love the pineapple salsa...because it involves two of our favorite things!
 
We also loved the salsa with chips....

 
The Pineapple Salsa is full of chunks of pineapple that are sweet when they first hit the tongue. It stays sweet until the very end and gives you just the right amount of kick. I can see why this salsa won 1st place in the Scovie Awards in 2011!
 
 
You can order any of the Traverse Bay Farms Fruit Salsas for just $6.95 for a 16oz jar...you can also get their award winning salsa jar sampler pack (4 - 16oz jars) for just $25.80.
 
 
We were lucky enough that Traverse Bay Farms also sent us a bottle of their Fruit Advantage Joint Formula - Tart Cherry Capsules. With Chris and I working out...and getting older....our bodies can sometimes really show their age! The Tart Cherry Capsules help support your joint function and a healthy cardiovascular system. Both things that are important as we're getting older.
 
For me, joint health is important because about 14 years ago, I got into a pretty bad car wreck and ended up really messing up my knees and back. I've have arthritis in my back every since and when I'm doing too much sometimes....the back and my knees can really give me problems.
 
After taking these pills for about a week or, I started to noticed that I wasn't as sore in the morning...going up and the stairs after a long day was easier. I can see already the effects of taking these everyday...a routine I plan to continue!
 
Here's some more about the benefits of tart cherries from Traverse Bay Farms...
 
Our capsules are free of: fillers, binders, preservatives, pesticides, beeswax, alcohol, yeast, wheat, corn, dairy, egg, tree nuts, fish/shellfish, artificial colors and flavors, MSG, starch, olive oil filler, sunflower oil, sesame oil, peanut oil and rice. In two simple words - "100% Natural". Fruit Advantage is scientifically-based and precisely manufactured to deliver the potent and synergistic phytonutrients of tart cherries for fast and maximum absorption. In fact, each daily serving equals the specific antioxidant benefits of 5+ glasses of cherry juice without the sugar!
 
You can purchase bottles of the Fruit Advantage Joint Formula - Tart Cherry Capsules for yourself. They start at $18.95 for a 30 day supply. The more you buy, the more you save per bottle - with free shipping!!!
 
And with that, I'm so happy to announce that Traverse Bay Farms is letting me giveaway away a jar of the Pineapple Salsa and a bottle of the Tart Cherry Capsules to TWO WINNERS!!
(That's a $25.90 value!)
 
BTW....I need to mention that I was given product free of charge from Traverse Bay Farms in exchange for a review. I was not compensated for this post and all opinions are 100% mine. You can read my full disclosure statement here.

Our days are a little hectic around here. My husband is going back to school and currently has classes on Monday and Wednesday nights and all day Saturday and Sunday. He gets home from work on Mondays and Wednesdays at 4:30 and is usually wanting to eat before he has to go to class, which ends at 9:30. So I'm trying to find meals that can be easily put together and then re-heated for the kids and myself when we're ready to eat (about 6:30.)

Here's whats on the menu this week:

Monday - Chili (crock pot) and Cornbread
Tuesday - Biscuits and Gravy with eggs
Wednesday - Chicken Tacos (freezer meal), Rice, Refried Beans
Thursday - Pork Chops (freezer meal), Potatoes, Veggie
Friday - Angry Birds Pizza and Bread sticks
Saturday - Chicken Enchiladas, Spanish Rice, Veggie
Sunday - Dinner at my moms

Like most of you, I spend at least two hours a week pouring over Pinterest and I found the cutest Angry Birds Pizza! My oldest son, Ashton was walking by the computer and said "You have to make that mom!!!" So, I'm excited to have the boys help me make that this week!

For now, here's my chili. It's about the easiest chili you'd ever find. It also goes along with meatless Mondays for us.

Throw in a crock pot, two cans of beans and two cans of tomatoes. I use which ever type of beans are on sale or I have on hand. I always buy canned tomatoes when they're on sale (two weeks ago they were $0.50 a can plus my coupon of $0.40 off 3 - so I bought 30 of them.)


After that I toss in ketchup, garlic salt, cinnamon, dried onion, worchester and BBQ sauce. The only thing left out of this picture is salt, pepper and red pepper. Since the kids and I are wimps when it comes to spice, I only add a little bit now and let Chris (the hubs) add as much as he wants to his own bowl. 


Give everything a good stir and set to high for 4 hours or low for 8. 

Like I said, this is a simple chili, but it's good! The cinnamon adds a nice extra level of flavor in there. If it's not a meatless Monday for us, I usually add some fried ground turkey or hamburger. 


I happen to be a snob about good cornbread, so I'll post my recipe for some of the sweetest, best-tasting cornbread tomorrow!

Thanks so much for stopping by!
