Crockpot “Roast” Chicken

Posted in Gluten Free, Homemaking, and Photography

Project 365 – #227 Crockpot “Roast” Chicken is a super easy, quick meal that takes very little thought or preparation.  I literally take the whole chicken out of the freezer and put it in the crockpot around lunch time.  I season it generously with whatever seasoning I feel like using.  (I used Emeril’s seasoning blend for this chicken.)  To have the frozen chicken ready by dinner, I put the crockpot on medium or high.  If you want a crispy skin, you can place the cooked bird in the oven for 20-30 minutes prior to serving.  The chicken will fall right…

Out of Africa Wildlife Park

Posted in Family, Homeschooling, Outdoor Adventures, and Photography

Project 365 – #224 One of our fun adventures while our family was visiting was going to the Out of Africa Wildlife Park.  It’s a privately owned and operated wildlife area that offers safari tours, animal exhibits, and wildlife shows.  As you can probably tell by the name, most of the animals are native to Africa, so our natural desert environment suits them nicely.  We were pleased to learn that they offer military discounts for general admission.  In addition to the safari, they have premium shows, but we decided not to do those – well, except for the tiger feeding.…
