Ranch Vegetables

The whole family went over to my parents house to celebrate Easter Sunday. I decided to try to make a healthy dish to make up for some of the unhealthy ones. I love grilled vegetables so much!! I tried to make them in the slow cooker. The great part is you can add whatever you really like and it will trying out fantastic!
Ingredients:
1 Onion
1 Red Pepper
1 Orange Pepper
1 Zucchini
1 Summer Squash
1c Carrots
1 package Mushrooms (I would add 3 next time since they are a family favorite)
1 Packet Ranch Mix
1/2c Water (I don't think you even need this)

Start by washing and chopping your vegetables and mixing them together in the slow cooker.

Next, just sprinkle the ranch mix on top of them all.

Evenly pour the water over all the vegetables and mix it all together.

I cooked mine on low for four hours. I thought the vegetables were overdone. It probably would have been fine on low for two hours. I like a little crunch when I eat them.

Everyone was complimenting me on them during dinner! I thought the dish was a success! :) I think I will start making this in bulk on Sundays and packaging them up for lunches during the week.

Ranch Chicken

I was so excited to try this Ranch Chicken recipe and it definitely did not let me down!  I tried to make it as healthy as possible but it still ended up a little higher in points that I would have wanted.  It's worth it though!  It was sooo easy to make and would be great for someone that hasn't used a Slow Cooker yet.

Ingredients:
2 lb Boneless Skinless Chicken
2 boxes Fat Free Cream Cheese
2 packets Ranch Dressing Mix
2 cans Fat Free Chicken Broth

All you need for this are four simple ingredients.

First place all of the chicken in the Slow Cooker.  In a bowl mix together the broth and ranch mix and then pour it over the chicken.  Next just cut the cream cheese into slices and cover the chicken with them.

I put this in the fridge overnight.  In the morning I set it on low for seven hours and then it stayed on warm for two and a half hours.  I came home and it smelled excellent but looked kind of weird.  It probably would have been really good if I cut up fresh broccolli and put it in the night before too.

I got home and cooked some broccolli and rice to go with it and dinner was served.  I made it into four servings but they were pretty big.  You can probably get six servings out of it if you are trying to cut back.

I saved all of the extra sauce to put over vegetables.  Does that make it less points for the meals? lol
