Here's a recipe that we tried for the first time today. Almost everyone liked it except one of my sons. Everyone else thought it was very good and the other two kids even requested that we add it to our menu either bi-weekly or once a month.

Ingredients:
--2 T olive oil or enough to cover the bottom of the crockpot
--5 chicken breasts
--12 pieces cooked and crumbled  bacon
--1/4 cup teriyaki sauce (We used Tastefully Simple Honey Teriyaki sauce)
--1/2 cup Ranch salad dressing
-- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
 
First cook and crumble the bacon. Then pour the olive oil into the crockpot and make sure to coat the entire bottom. Add the chicken breasts. We used frozen chicken breasts. Next, in a small bowl add the teriyaki sauce and the ranch dressing and stir until it becomes one solid color. Pour the sauce mixture onto the chicken. Cover the chicken and sauce mixture with the cheese. On top, add the crumbled bacon. Cook on high for 3 hours.

Here's a healthy family favorite that we make every once in a while that everyone just loves. Pulled Pork. We make it in a crockpot and cook it on high for 4 hours.

Ingredients:
        1 can tomato sauce
        1/2 cup ketchup
        2 Tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons brown sugar
        2 Tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
         2 teaspoons garlic powder
                                                                                    1 package pork tenderloin
                                                                                    1 pork shoulder roast
                                                                                    
Stir all the ingredients together except the meat in the crockpot. Trim fat off the meat. Put meat in the crockpot and spoon the mixture on top of the meat. Cook for 4 hours on high. Remove meat from crockpot and place in a bowl. Shred the meat using two forks and return meat to crockpot. Stir meat and mixture together (meat will soak up most or all of the liquid). Serve on buns.

This makes enough for my whole family to have two sandwiches and then still have leftovers for the next couple days or we can freeze the leftovers to make another meal later in the month, which makes for an easy afterwork meal if you take it out of the freezer before you go to work and just heat it up when you get home.
