It’s not for everyone. I get that.
But you sort of have to do it, at least a little, even if you’re just boiling pasta water, if you want to survive.
So you have to find a way to get through it. Make it as bearable as possible.
May I recommend YouTube-ing your favorite 80s ballads and singing them at the top of your lungs?
Because sometimes that’s what gets Sunday dinner* in the slow cooker.
Some suggestions,
And one of my all-time faves:
To make buffalo chicken for 4, you will need:
- 1 lb. boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 12 oz. bottle buffalo wing sauce (we use Frank’s)
- 1/2 (1 oz.) package ranch dressing mix
- 2 T butter (optional)
- 2 oz. sharp cheddar cheese, grated
- sliced bread, toasted
In the morning, put chicken, hot sauce, and ranch dressing mix in slow cooker. Turn on low for 7 hours.
When chicken is done, shred with two forks. Stir in butter if you’re looking to add extra calories and/or temper that spicy flavor.
Pile chicken on top of toast, and sprinkle with cheddar cheese.

My life is complete. I’ve somehow managed to give you a recipe that you’ve never made before, and it was successful enough to put on the blog. 🙂 and now, back to my regularly scheduled programming of pasta water.
Haha, and I was going to make Lizzie’s chicken tonight, but we didn’t have corn flakes, Doritos, Cheez-Its, anything!
I also thought you’d appreciate the 80s songs in the post. 🙂
Yes. Totally forgot to mention how fitting it was to have 80s songs included in a post sponsored by me. In related news, I’ve never tried music while cooking. Putting it on the to-do list for this week!
