Baked Potato Soup

Recipe from Nestle's Very Best Baking site

2-3 russett potatoes, baked or microwaved
1/4 c. butter
1/4 c. onion, chopped
1/4 c. flour
1 can chicken broth (14.5 oz)
crumbled bacon, shredded cheese, sliced green onions (optional)

In a large saucepan, melt butter and sautee onions until tender. Add flour and stir until smooth. Gradually add in chicken broth and evaporated milk. Scoop potato pulp out of one potato (reserve skin) and mash. Add to the saucepan and cook over medium heat until soup comes to a boil. Dice remaining potatoes and potato skin, add to the soup. Heat through, being careful not to boil. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately, topped with bacon, cheese and onions, if desired.

Pineapple Chicken

Add to the crock pot:

5-6 boneless, skinless, frozen chicken breasts (only used about 4)
2 20oz cans of pineapple chunks and juice
1/2 tsp ginger
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 tsp minced garlic
1/3 cup soy sauce
1/2 tsp red pepper flakes if you like some kick (YES!)

Cook on HIGH for 4 hours or LOW for 5-6 hours. 1 hour before it's done cooking, remove the chicken to dice into pieces and then return the pieces to the sauce.

Combine in shaker bottle:

1/4 cup water
5 Tbsp cornstarch

Add to the sauce in the crock pot to thicken the sauce during the last hour of cooking, be sure to stir it in.

Serve over rice, sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds if you like.
