    chicken spaghetti in white bowl with fork on side

    Given the choice do you prefer to cook at home or go out to dinner? When we were young and wild (okay just young, we were never wild) I would have said, hands-down, go out to dinner. But as time goes by and I have learned more about cooking and we have a family and our schedules are busier we start thinking about things like value of our time and value of our money. And it just seems more and more that hanging out in our kitchen at home in what we would rather do. We enjoy working together as a family to get food on the table and it's fun to come up with our own custom creations. Even on days when we have food in the slow cooker it's fun to let the kids pick some side dishes or help with putting some bread in the oven then hanging out to talk about our days.

    chicken spaghetti in white bowl with fork on sideI had to get creative because my three year old will have nothing to do with tomatoes which makes the idea of traditional spaghetti pretty much into a no-go. You could easily add a can of diced tomatoes or tomato sauce if you wanted to but it's also amazing without.

Add that base to the crock along with chicken thighs (so much flavor!!) and broth and it can just cook all day. Once it's done add a little cream and pasta and dinner will be on the table in 30 minutes! Serve it up with crusty bread, a green salad or your family favorite side. Let the kids help!! Family dinner at it's best!
