I am in LOVE with my baby girl!!!

Everyone said I would be but gosh she has to be the cutest thing i have ever seen!!! I could just sit and stare at her all day – and a lot of the time that’s what I do!!

Because of this, there has not been a whole lot of cooking going on in my house (much to my husbands dismay – although he’s too sweet to say anything!). But every now and then, I’ve surprised him and thrown something together like this crockpot meal.

Cashew Chicken

(adapted from Sally Cooks)

• 2 chicken breasts, cut into smaller pieces
• 1-2 cups frozen broccoli, cut into bite-size pieces
• 1 cup carrots, sliced
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1/2 cup soy sauce
• 4 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
• 3 tablespoons ketchup
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 1 tablespoon ginger paste
• 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• salt and pepper to taste
• 1/2 cup water or chicken broth
• 1/2 cup cashews

Place chicken and vegetables in crockpot. Mix together other ingredients except for water/chicken broth and cashews, pour over chicken and vegetables. Pour in water/chicken broth until covered.  Cook on low for 7-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours.

Before serving, toast your cashews and stir into crockpot. Serve over rice.

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas!
