Yummy Chicken...

So yesterday was a busy day. While I really enjoy attending church, and really want to see my children going to church, it is fall baseball season and the only day they play is Sunday from Noon to about 4:00. Every Sunday except for Labor Day weekend, through the fall. And being that we don't have an extra vehicle for my son to drive himself to his games, I get nominated to do the deed. Which means having everyone up, dressed, fed, an ready to go by 9:30 or 10:00. Not too hard, but then I also have to make sure that I have a spare set of clothes for #3, who try as she might, doesn't always make it to the potty on time... And then I also have to make sure that we have plenty of diapers and spare clothing for #4, because you just never know what kind of day he is gonna have. Oh yeah, you also have to make sure there are plenty of snacks, because #2 & #3 like to snack and are "starving" most of the time. And don't forget lunch...gotta have lunch for everyone, because it just gets too darn expensive after paying for gas to get to the ballgames (at least an hour drive each way, every week) and trying to feed the 3 kids who actually eat solid foods. And then by the time we get home again, it is DINNER time! The cycle never ends. These kids are always needing to eat! SO that brings me to Yummy Chicken... Yesterday morning was no different than other baseball Sundays, except that I had to take DH to work first...at 4:30 in the morning! Talk about an exhausting start to my exhausting day! So I get back from taking DH to the airport and I take the chicken legs that have been thawing in my refrigerator out and put them in the crockpot. I dump BBQ sauce on them and turn it on low. I do this at about 7:30 in the morning. Fast forward 12 hours.... OH my GOODNESS... we walk in the house to a delicate smell of BBQ and chicken. I lift the lid of the crockpot... heaven! I lift out each leg with the tongs and about half of them fell apart before making it to the plate. So tender and juicy! Even #2, who "doesn't like chicken" loved it! I threw some potatoes and beans in the microwave, add a little salt and pepper to them and voila! Dinner is ready! And what a wonderfully delicious dinner it was. And WAY too easy to be that good! I think I am gonna try and figure out how to add a recipe section for WAY too easy recipes...
