I'm always interested in new easy recipes for my family, and I recently found one for barbequed chicken using Sweet Baby Ray's barbeque sauce. You can even use frozen chicken if you forget to take it out of the freezer in time to thaw.
Recipe: 4-6 chicken breasts [I used boneless]
1 bottle Sweet Baby Ray's sauce [I used 18 oz.]
1/4 cup vinegar
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon garlic powder
Mix everything but chicken. Place chicken in crock pot. Pour sauce mixture over chicken.
Cook on low 4-6 hours.
It's delicious! The first night we ate the chicken breasts straight from the crock pot, but the leftovers literally broke into pieces when I transferred them from the crock pot to a refrigerator container. That's when I realized they'd make wonderful pulled barbecued chicken sandwiches. In fact, we liked them even better that way, served with a dollop of coleslaw on top.
I fixed them for dinner when grandson, Landon, came for his annual back-to-school shopping this week. Both Jerry and Landon gave them a thumbs up!
Landon was thrilled with his new Nike backpack and school supplies. He has a Youtube channel of his own. He educated me while he was here and said it's called a 'Vlog'. Instead of writing and posting pictures like I do on my blog, he posts videos. My grandkids can run circles around me when it comes to modern technology!
While he was enthusiastically videoing his new school acquisitions, and demonstrating all the pockets in his backpack, I took his picture to post on my 'old fashioned' blog. ;-)
After dinner we took him to a local dairy bar we used to take his dad to when he was Landon's age. Leason's has an old-fashioned jukebox inside that the kids always have fun with. Unfortunately, the dining area is closed right now due to COVID-19, and we could only order ice cream through a walk-up window.

He brought his scooter to occupy some of his time.

When Landon went home it was Ellie's turn to come. She too brought her scooter to ride.
She excitedly Face-timed her mom on Papa Jerry's i-phone to show her all the new school supplies she got. Their school district is opening after Labor Day with a hybrid schedule - two days in the classroom and three days virtual. Will life ever return to the way it was before COVID-19?
We took Ellie to a nearby Dairy Queen for her ice cream treat. We were able to go inside to order with a set number of customers allowed inside at one time, but we had to go outside to eat.
Since she's younger than Izzy and Landon, she still enjoys one-on-one time, so last night we played several rounds of Old Maid cards and the Cootie Game - I played both games when I was a child, so they've been around a long time. When I was taking all the parts of the Cootie game out of the box I found a note Izzy wrote us back in 2014 when she was Ellie's age. It brought a lump to my throat to realize how quickly time has passed.
Ellie went home this morning, and the house seems very quiet and empty now. I'm glad they were all able to come for a visit.
