When it rains....I cook!

We have not had rain for months, but now.....we are getting tropical storm Lee.  And it has been raining for days and days and I'm losing sanity, I can't do any outdoor projects.  So I cook and I cook and I cook and I think I have gained 5 pounds in three days.  It has got to stop raining or my crock pot is going to overheat and die a tragic death full of melted gooey goodness!  I love the fall weather and it usually prompts me to fire up the crock pot so I went looking for fun recipes on Pinterest...where else?  By the way I am officially obsessed with Pinterest (good thing because it gives facebook a rest).  Anywho the first thing I made was Italian crock pot chicken and let me tell you it was FAN-FREAKIN-TABULOUS!  It was so easy and so good courtesy of  http://www.the-girl-who-ate-everything.com/.  Love the website by the way, this should be my new name after this last few days!  I paired this easy recipe with easy parmesan knots, thanks http://www.realmomkitchen.com/. these were also super easy and DELISH! 

Crock pot Italian Chicken: 4 chicken breasts, 1 packet Zesty Italian dressing seasoning, 1 8 oz. cream cheese (softened), 2 cans cream of chicken soup; Cook on low for 4 hours. If sauce is too thick, add a little milk. Serve over pasta.
Easy Parmesan Knots
•1 tube (12 ounces) refrigerated buttermilk biscuits ( I used Pillsbury cresent rolls, the rounds)
•1/4 cup canola oil
•3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese (I did use the green can stuff)
•1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
•1 teaspoon dried oregano
•1 teaspoon dried parsley flakes

1.Roll each biscuit into a 12-in. rope and tie into a knot; tuck ends under. Place 2 in. apart on a greased baking sheet. Bake at 400° for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown.
2.In a large bowl, combine the remaining ingredients; brush the warm knots with the mixture. Yield:10 knots.
