Fact: Meat, although delicious, is disgusting looking and therefore hard to photograph. (Sorry vegetarians.)

Crockpot Rotisserie Chicken | Decor and the Dog

Fact: This recipe will change your life. Or allow you to be really lazy on Sundays. Both have happened to Nate and I.

I had seen 1 million recipes for crockpot rotisserie chicken floating around on the ol' Pinterest. They were all basically coat the chicken in olive oil and rub on spices to your liking. We've finally concocted our liking.

I hate crockpot recipes that require 40 minutes of prep. What's the point of a crockpot? To be a lazy cook. This recipe. 5 minutes. We eat it almost every other Sunday. It's such an easy meal idea. It's also the best way to make sweet potatoes. Slow cooked and soaked in chicken fat.

The only bummer of this recipe is pulling the junk out of the chicken's bum. I always get really excited when Target has the chickens without the junk inside. (Tip: If the grossness is still inside, wrap your hand in a baggy and scream like a school girl when you pull it out. Totally helps.) Who's hungry?

Happy weekend! Any big plans? I honestly haven't thought that far ahead. I do know we have another round of snow coming. Awesome. Not.

Happy Friday! It's been quite the week weather-wise here. We started the week with -50 windchills. Today it's supposed to rain. Iowa is weird.

I'm blogging about the weather. Oh, boy. I have projects for next week. Pinky swear. And my Christmas tree might be down then. Bonus.

Today I'd like to share with you an update to one of our favorite quick and easy dinner recipes, Cheeseburger Cups.

Nate and I have been trying to eliminate processed food from our diet. (We're not clean eaters. We like flour. We like ketchup. We just want our food to no longer come in a box, bag or can.) We've done fairly well over the past 4 months or so. The problem is that like all good people from the Midwest, we like our comfort food. We were missing our cheeseburger cups. The problem with our old cheeseburger cups is that they are made with refrigerated biscuits. Although delicious, the biscuits don't really fit well into our new eating plan.

The other night we decided to make them using our favorite baking powder biscuits. (We also shred our own cheese now instead of buying the packaged stuff.) Nate and I figured there was no way they would taste as good. Turns out we both thought they were better. Yay for real food.

Enjoy this easy dinner idea!
