Crockpot Fluffy Lava Cake

1 Devils Cake Mix
1 package of Jello Instant Pudding
Enough 3 Musketeers bars to cover the top (I prefer using the minis...6 for $1)

Turn Crockpot on low, remove crock.  First, lightly spray your crock with nonstick spray.  

   Mix your cake batter and pour into your crock. Then do the same with the pudding mix, spreading it out in a layer on top of the cake batter. Then arrange your candy bars on top.  Place the lid and cook on Low for 3 - 4 hours, or until cake is done.



BE CREATIVE!! Change up the pudding flavor, or the candy bar. Try it with Vanilla Pudding, Angel Food Cake, and Cookies and Cream Hershey Bars!!!!!

Southwest BBQ Chicken Rice Bowl

This is a GOOD meal...that can be altered to whatever taste you like! This just happens to be my favorite way! Be creative, be you! Make it yours!


Chicken Breasts, Chicken Strips, or Chicken Chunks, etc. (If you can find breaded like popcorn chicken or chunks, that's the easiest way!)
1 Cup Whole Kernel Corn
1 Cup Black Beans
White Rice
BBQ Sauce and A1 mixed together 2 parts BBQ:1 part A1 ( or...Try my homemade sauce for this!)

*If chicken is not already breaded- Cornmeal, salt, pepper, other seasoning in one bowl,  1 egg and a dab of milk in another - for breading. Dip chicken in egg/milk combo, then dip in cornmeal and seasoning mix to coat.*

Pour about an inch of oil in your frying pan or skillet.  Fry the chicken pieces on low heat, stirring regularly.  While they are heating, start to make your homemade sauce in a sauce pan if using that! Also, boil your rice in another pan!
When the rice is done, Take half of it out and set aside. (Be sure to keep checking and stirring your frying chicken pieces!) To the half still on the stove, add the corn and beans, (check your chicken one time now) along with onions, red peppers, diced tomatoes (drained) and green peppers...or anything else you might think of!  OR you can just add some drained Rotel... Either way, this is called a Southwest Blend! Should be very chunky with a little rice to lots of veggie ratio! Set it aside. (Check the chicken again)
When your chicken is browned, turn the heat to the lowest, and add your sauce to it. Cook it on lowest setting until warm, and all of sauce is absorbed! Should not take longer than 5 minutes to cook and absorb the sauce up into the chicken!

Then it is time to layer! Grab a bowl. Spoon some white rice on the bottom, then top with a layer of the southwest blend you made. Top it with a load of chicken and ENJOY!
