Slow Cooker Chicken and Wild Rice

This was so easy and perfect for a cold fall day! (Sorry not the best picture)

You will need:

1 pound of skinless, boneless chicken breasts

2 cups of wild rice, cooked

5.5 cups of chicken broth

Chopped celery*

Chopped onion*

Chopped carrots*

Butter

1/3 cup Whole wheat flour

garlic powder

onion powder

*I bought the pre-chopped mix of these three veggies at the grocery store to save a step.

Cook rice according to directions.  Melt butter in a sauce pan and brown the onions, celery and carrots. Add in flour. Pour in chicken broth and bring to a boil. Add spices. Simmer broth mix for 2 minutes. Add all ingredients to your slow cooker and give it a few stirs. Cook on high for 3-4 hours, or low for 6-8 hours.  The chicken should be tender and easy to shred in the slow cooker. Enjoy!

Ahoy! It's a Boy!

Last weekend Joe and I hosted a couples baby shower with our good friends Jillian and Taylor in honor of the future baby boy of Brittany and James! James was deployed in Afghanistan for the majority of Brit's pregnancy, so he requested a couples shower upon his return.  We did a sailor theme in honor of James being in the Navy.  Since boys were invited too, we did not do typical shower games. We had a chugging contest out of baby bottles, pin the sperm on the uterus and we also had the guests write funny notes on diapers for mom and dad.  We served beer, oysters, burgers, mac n cheese and a salad. Delish!

My good friend Ashley at Fairview Place created the invitations and the cute little signs. She's amazing!

The invitations!

I made this "life saver" out of diapers.

Jillian made this banner! Too cute!

Brittany is due in 4 days!! Can't wait to meet baby Thomas Bradley!
