Artichoke Chicken

1 10-13 oz can of artichokes
1 C Parm Cheese
3/4 C Mayo (not Miracle Whip)
Garlic Chopped (to taste)
Skinless, boneless chicken breasts
bread crumbs

Drain and chop the artichokes. Combine with cheese, mayo, and garlic. Spread on top of chicken breasts. Sprinkle with breadcrumbs. Cook in 350 degree oven for about 30 minutes (I used large chicken breasts so it took longer....I tested with a thermometer and it took about 40-45 minutes). The last few minutes you can put in broiler to crisp bread crumbs.

I served with a vegetable and rice pilaf. Enjoy!

Crockpot Sauerkraut Pork

This is a recipe I got over 6 years ago from a good friend who is a great cook.  I FINALLY tried it last week.  I didn't attempt to have the girls eat it, and was pretty unsure of it myself, but Hubby and I loved it!!!

Take a pork roast, season it with salt and pepper and sear it on all four sides.  Place a bag/jar of sauerkraut (do not drain) in a crockpot and place pork in, covering it with most of the 'kraut.  Cook on low for 7 hours.  Add canned whole potatoes (drained) and cook for 1 more hour.  Serve.  Simple. Cheap. Good.
