Following Directions

It is a rare day here at From Inmates To Playdates, Inc.

I am writing about something that I know very little about.

Recipes.

This is an easy one. And a good one.

Ingredients:

• 4-6 chicken breasts
•  20 ounce can of pineapple chunks
• 1 bottle of barbecue sauce (I chose sweet and tangy because anything sweet has to be better, right?)

Directions:

• Spray the inside of your crock pot OR use a handy-dandy crock-pot liner.
• Place chicken breasts (frozen, even!) in the crock pot and cover with barbecue sauce.
• Empty can of drained pineapple chunks on top of chicken.
• Cook on High for 2-3 hours or Low for 4-6 hours.
• Enjoy.

It is worth mentioning that I’ve never been good at following directions.

I say that because the recipe called for me to shred the chicken while it was still in the crock-pot so that it was well covered in barbecue sauce. Which makes all kinds of sense because without shredding it, you just have 4-6 barbecue chicken breasts covered in barbecue sauce.

And even though the 4-6 chicken breasts covered in barbecue sauce was okay, I imagine the 4-6 shredded chicken breasts doused in barbecue sauce would be much better.

So, don’t leave that step out, mkay?

And today, I’m trying out a recipe for a Coca Cola Cake which makes me nine kinds of happy because how can you go wrong with a cake filled with Coca Cola?

Unless you leave out a step.

Wish me luck, folks. Wish me luck.
