Jacki's Meal # 1

Ok I was tempted to report that my meal went just as planned but it didn't and it was my fault. I cooked the chicken in the crockpot which worked out well although a little overdone since we got home later than planned. Since it was so saucy the sweet potato fries were an odd paring but I also made some rice for my husband. I over cooked the fries (go Jacki) and I needed more fries for the amount of seasoning. Mine were way too salty. The drink was scrumptious but again, I messed up but I made it work. The store didn't have the frozen lemonade so I just used powdered. The blender didn't work after I dumped everything in so I dumped it all into a bowl and stirred to mix and then removed the unmelted ice cubes. It wasn't slushy but still really good. The only soda I had that remotely resembled lemon lime was an old outdated Fresca that we brought with us in or cooler from our Virginia move!  It tasted pretty good in the drink! The chicken made good leftovers. I want to make the fries again and do them right because I love sweet potato fries! I would make all of these recipes again.

oh no, that is too bad. I was worried about over cooking the sauce in the crockpot too since it was so sugary!

Sorry you had to battle so hard to do the recipes, but you were triumphant! Everything looked good though in the picture:)
