Monster Bash!

Love this Monster Bash party my friend Judi styled for her sweet Jack!

The turquoise and blue colors were perfect!

Great idea to use the water bottle labels to wrap around some of the food jars!

The Monster Bash party circles, favor tags, water bottle labels, banner, invitation, etc can all be found in the Pluff Mudd Studio Etsy shop!

Thanks for sharing Judi and Jack!

Directions:

Easter Bunny Noses!!

I LOVE all the cute ideas and treats that pop up for Easter baskets!!! I could not resist making these cute favors for Cate and her friends at school and her teachers! This jar is filled with yummy gum balls. Any pink candy would work (pink M&Ms, etc.)

The glass jars are not safe for our little ones, so I put these bunny noses {jelly beans} in a clear treat bag. What a fun surprise!!!

Yum Yum Crockpot Pulled Chicken

What's for dinner at your house tonight? We are having yum yum crockpot pulled chicken!!! I am obsessed with my Crockpot and truly adore it!!!!

{Image Via Beantown Baker}

This delicious recipe was featured over at Beantown Baker! I am always on the hunt for new recipes, especially ones I know my hubby will LOVE. This recipe was a crowd pleaser and SUPER easy to make. Here is the delicious recipe that Jen shared with a few tweaks and tips to fit our family.

Crockpot Pulled Chicken - as seen on Apple A Day, originally from Eating Well - serves 8-10
Printable Recipe
1 (14 oz.) can tomato sauce
2-3 chipotle chiles in adobo, finely minced (I used 2 chiles and it was perfect for ALL of us, including the toddler!)
1/4 cup cider vinegar
3 Tbsp honey (I used brown sugar instead, b/c we did not have honey)
1 Tbsp plus 2 tsp smoked paprika
2 Tbsp tomato paste
2 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
3 tsp dry mustard
1 Tbsp chili powder
1 tsp salt
3 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs and breasts, trimmed of fat
1 medium onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced

Stir tomato sauce, chiles, vinegar, honey, paprika, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, chili powder and salt in a 6-quart slow cooker until smooth. Add chicken, onion and garlic; stir to combine.

Put the lid on and cook on low until the chicken can be pulled apart, about 5-6 hours.

Transfer the chicken to a cutting board and shred with a fork. Return the chicken to the sauce, stir well and serve.

We would love to see what's for dinner at your house! Leave a comment with a link. Everyone likes new recipes that are quick, healthy, and family friendly.
