March Kiwi Crate Review

I signed Marley up for a monthly subscription to Kiwi Crate back in November. She loves getting them in the mail and making each little craft.


This month the theme was Secret Agent. Her crate had two crafts, a periscope and a disguise kit. 

It also had an invisible ink pen. That's probably the coolest part! 


She jumped right in and was able to make the disguise masks herself. 




After she was done playing with the masks I helped her make the periscope. Sometimes the crafts require a lot of adult help and sometimes they don't. 

We spent some time spying Mike while he was outside fixing his car. 


This is the sixth crate that Marley's received. I have been very pleased with all of them.

Crock Pot Sour Cream Chicken

I've been using my crock pot a lot this month. It's so nice to just throw everything in there in the morning or afternoon and have it ready when we're ready to eat dinner. I found this recipe and I tweaked a few things but it still turned out amazing. Mike added this chicken to his list of the best meals I've made.


4-6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 (10 oz) cans cream of mushroom soup
1 cup sour cream
Salt and pepper to taste


Mix sour cream and both cans of mushroom soup in a small bowl. 


Place chicken in bottom of crock pot and sprinkle some salt and pepper on top. Spread sour cream mix over top. Cover and cook on low 6-8 hours.


This could be served over rice or noodles or just by itself.  

We're not big sour cream fans but I didn't taste the sour cream at all so don't let the fact that it has sour cream in it scare you away.

Crock Pot BBQ Pork Chops

I originally bought pork chops to make pulled pork sandwiches. But once I cooked them I decided to just have them whole instead. I had some left over barbeque sauce from Dickey's so I used that, but just use your favorite.



Pork Chops
Chopped onions
bbq sauce
pepper
1/2 cup water


Place half of the bbq sauce and 1/2 cup water in bottom of crock pot. Place onions and little more bbq sauce on top. Repeat layers again. 


Cook on low for 7 hours.  If you wanted to shred them you would do that now. They tasted just as good leaving them whole though.

Garlic Cheddar Biscuits

I've had this recipe in my recipe box for years. I'm not exactly sure where I got it from either. All I know is that these biscuits are so good. 


2 cups bisquick
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
2/3 cup milk
1/4 cup butter
1/4 tsp garlic powder


Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Mix bisquick, milk, and cheese together until they a soft dough forms. 

Drop large spoonfuls of the dough onto a cookie sheet. 


Bake for 8-10 minutes at 450 degrees. 


Mix together butter and garlic powder. Spread onto biscuits once they're done cooking. 


This recipe should make between 10-12 biscuits. Mine were on the large side so I only got 8. It just depends on how large you make them.
