Adaptations

This week I have been making things that I have already posted the recipe for, but I have also been changing them up a bit.
One night we had breakfast for dinner. I made a breakfast hash, fruit salad and monkey muffins. Instead of doing monkey bread in the loaf or bundt pan, I made the bread in muffin tins.

I still cut the biscuit into quarters, but put three pieces in each cup. Then I poured the butter and brown sugar mixture over each one. It baked for 15 minutes at 375.
I made the stuffed chicken breasts with bernaise sauce this week, too. Instead of the original dried pesto/cream cheese stuffing, I did a chopped spinach, garlic and cream cheese stuffing. Oh, and I crumbled up Lay's potato chips for the coating on the outside. They weren't as crunchy as I thought they would be. I think I will stick with the crackers. I liked the spinach stuffing, though. I thought it was a good alternative.

Last night, I did brown sugar chicken in the crockpot. I got the original recipe from the talented (and so funny! and also so nice about emailing you back when you email her recipes to try in her crockpot) Crockpot Lady, but when I first made it, it was too sweet for me. The original recipe calls for:
7-Up
brown sugar
garlic
vinegar
soy sauce

Last night I used:
chicken broth
brown sugar
garlic
vinegar
soy sauce
It still had a nice sweetness to it, without being too sweet. I bought a package of drumsticks at the store- they were $1.33. I couldn't resist!!! My husband doesn't like eating chicken off the bone, so that is why this crockpot meal is perfect. The meat falls off the bone!!
