I love slow cooker/crockpot recipes because I can get dinner “on” except for mostly last minute additions, before I’m tired from doing other things. I tried this shredded chicken recipe awhile back. We enjoyed it, saving leftovers in the freezer to enjoy a couple of times. My husband asked if I would make it again, so I’m doing that today.
Besides the deliciousness of the chicken, I love that a serving has only 4 carbs. It’s a bit higher in sodium than I would like, but the fact it only has 1 gram of sugar is great, since we’re watching that, too. You can eat it as is, or serve it on a bun (or I use Mission Zero Carb Tortillas). I’m also going to try adding some celery before serving it cold as a variation on tuna salad this time, with some of the leftovers. I already have chicken breasts thawed for this time, but I’m seriously considering doubling the recipe after this. :0)
Shout-out to Sandi, who lost her husband recently. There are no words. Just lots and lots of love and hugs – and EARS – just to listen.

I tried a new Keto friendly recipe in the crock pot yesterday called, “Slow Cooker Crack Chicken,” by Katerina at diethood.com . It was like pulled pork, but with chicken. My husband really liked it and wants me to do it again.

I just heard one of our driveway alarms. If it only makes noise once, there is probably a deer standing in the driveway. If it goes off twice, one after the other, it means someone is coming up the driveway. It went off only once, but I got up, checked it out, and then took a quick walk around the yard.
The elephant ear sprouts are much larger. One is about 6 inches tall now. I’m excited about them producing actual leaves soon. We have three plants and all are looking good so far.
The tomato plants are looking healthy, as well. I’ll try to get out and see if they need some pruning, fertilizer, water, etc. later today.
I didn’t weed whack or spray yesterday, so that’s still staring me in the face today. I’m good at staring right back, though, and then ignoring. :0)

Jet, our new cat, and I are getting to know each other, one day at a time. We have a cat door latch that is scheduled to be delivered tomorrow, that will prop her door open so that she can go in and out of the back bathroom, where all her stuff is, but that Amber, our dog, can’t get in. Jet has been herding me there, and I’m learning to pay attention, follow her and open her door, leaving her in there to eat, drink some water, use her kitty litter, or just spend time alone. (I’ll still have to actually shut her in there when Amber – or we – are eating anything, but otherwise, I’m hoping she’ll catch on quickly that her freedom and options are increasing.)

My husband yesterday risked being thrown into the now theoretical hole in the backyard by going on the back porch to let Amber out, saying, “The cat wants to go out, too!” I leaped up, yelling, “NOOOOO!!” He came in laughing, delighted to having been so successful in yanking my chain. He apologized, though it was lost in the fact that he was still laughing…

A beautiful day today here in Arkansas. I hope your weather and your day are fabulous.
