Ingredients:
1 lb baby carrots
1 medium onion, cut into wedges
6 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
20 oz can unsweetened pineapple chunks
1/3 cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
2 teaspoons chicken bouillon granules
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
3 tablespoons cornstarch
1/4 cup water
3 cups cooked long grain enriched rice
Directions:
1. Layer carrots and onion in slow cooker. Top with chicken.
2. Drain pineapple, reserving juice. Place pineapple chunks over chicken.
3. Mix together pineapple juice, brown sugar, soy sauce, chicken bouillon, salt, ginger, and garlic. Pour over top.
4. Cook on low 6 – 7 hours.
5. Combine cornstarch and water. Gradually stir into slow cooker.
6. Cook 30 minutes longer or until sauce is thickened.
7. Served over rice.
This was fairly good – definitely worth tweaking. I missed green peppers in it and would add them in next time. I think I would add more ginger, too. I love ginger, tho!
I skipped thickening because dinner time crept up on me. It tasted fine, just a very clear, thin liquid soaking the rice. All & all a keeper with fixes!

I went to my fairy goddaughter’s graduation party. It was in the middle of suburbia in the land of look a like houses. I got lost even with a map. I finally spotted a house with more vegetation then the rest & knew I had made it. My best friend shares a passion for plants.
My god daughter was very pleased & gave me a gift – an early birthday present. It is a ceramic statue thing of Cinderella & her Fairy Godmother. It was a really sweet gift.
I conversed with a few people, mostly my god daughter’s older sister, who is same age as Boy & was a friend of his in high school. Ate the obligatory food & then left.
Then since I was all dressed up I made a surprise visit to my Mom who was acting in a history tour. She was pretty pleased. It was the end of the day’s events so we went out for dinner & then plant shopping.
All & all a nice afternoon – but the best part really was putting on a grubby tee & planting some more pots in Mom’s garden. hehehe

I feel very comfortable using the google docs now. I am no expert & am always learning new things to do with them. I am gonna call this one ongoing, but completed!
