1/2 pound mini carrots
2 medium onions sliced
2 stalks celery cut in 1" pieces
1 whole frying chicken 3-4 pound
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp ground black pepper
1/2 c chicken broth (water or white wine will also work)
1/2 tsp dried basil
Layer veggies in the bottom of the crockpot. Add broth. After washing and drying your chicken, sprinkle and rub with spices, then place on top of veggies. Cook on low all day long. (8-10 hours)
Be careful - it might be so tender it falls apart, so use the proper tools for dishing it out. Leftover chicken is great for many other yummy treats... pot pie, chicken salad, chicken noodle soup, or casserole!
**The first time I made this I placed left-overs for Keith in the fridge as he was working late that night. He woke me up to tell me it was the best chicken I have ever made!!!**

Toasted Cheese Sandwich
This is one of my faves.
Toast two pieces of whole wheat bread (or whatever you like). As soon as the toaster pops, hit it with 2 slices of cheese and assemble as a sandwich. Wait 2 minutes and the cheese has melted. YUM-O
I also like to add miracle whip light and/or pickles to switch it up a smidge.
