We're Back At It and..... The Reviews are In!!

Can you believe it has been 4 years since our last post? I couldn't! Our little blogging experiment of 2012 did not go very far. We have decided to give it a go again and hopefully post all 25 meals this time. 

Well, we cooked all weekend and we are starting to enjoy the fruits of our labour so to say. The kids and hubby are back on board to give their reviews of the new slow cooker meals that we have prepared. My son is still the picky one, and it seems my daughter still likes just about everything. So here goes.....

Today's selection was a recipe called Lemon Rosemary Chicken. My daughter picked the recipe for today's review. I thought it was just meh.... I found that the sauce tasted of too much lemon and not enough garlic and rosemary. It was a bit to acidic for my liking. The chicken was very tender, not dried out at all, and melted in your mouth. If I were to make this again, I would juice 1/2 a lemon, add more garlic, and more rosemary. My daughter thought that it was pretty good. She didn't seem to find the sauce too bad either. I would say she liked it the best out of the four of us. Hubby thought is was above the meh rating that I gave it. Now for the picky eater son. He thought it was okay too. Of course he did not have the veggies or rice to go along with it. It was just the chicken up for review. My guess is he will raid the fridge for something else later. He's a good sport though. 

Family Average Rating: 3.8 out of 5

Would I make it again? Probably with some tweaking. 

Note - I cooked this for 6 hours. Any more than that and I think it would be very stringy. I would say 5 hours would have been perfect.
