BBQ or Salsa Chicken in a Crockpot

This is fast, simple and yummy.

4-6 chicken breasts (or however many you want)
BBQ sauce or Salsa

Put the chicken breasts in the crockput and douse heavily with BBQ sauce or salsa. Cook on low for 4-6 hours if thawed and high for 6-8 hours if frozen. Serve with veggies and rice. You can also shred the chicken and add more BBQ sauce for BBQ chicken sandwiches. Or, you can shred the chicken and make it into burritos if you used the salsa. This is also great on top of green salad.

French Bread Pizza

When you're in a hurry, or if you just don't want to make a crust this is great!

1 loaf of French bread
1-2 cans of pizza sauce
Shredded cheese
Your favorite pizza toppings (i.e. pineapple, ham, pepperoni, bellpeppers, olives, hamburger, tomatoes etc.)

Cut the loaf of bread in half the long way. Spread each side with sauce. Top with cheese and toppings. Broil in your oven until the cheese is melted. Cut into sections and serve.

Straight From the Island Pina Coladas

This is SO SO SO DELICIOUS! I don't know why it isn't more well known to make pina coladas this way because it is absolutely simple. Try the oriental food section of your grocery store for the coconut milk.

1/2 can unsweetened coconut milk (I use the "Light/Lite" kind)
1 can of pineapple
sugar
ice
Optional: Top with whipped cream.

Dump all ingredients except ice into blender. Blend and sweeten to taste. Next add ice and blend until you have the desired consistency. Top with whipped cream if you like. YUM!
