Susie's Leaning Tower of Chocolate for 2008 January 24

Permalink [Comments] (5) Thu Jan 24 2008 16:32 Yummy in my Tummy:

I've been trying out a lot of new crockpot recipes in an attempt to make feeding my family easier, faster, and yummier. Yesterday I put two chicken breasts and half a jar of spaghetti sauce (Ragu was only $1 at Smith's and I had a coupon - I haven't bought spaghetti sauce in years!) and let it cook on both settings for who-knows-how-long. I served it with whole wheat pasta and parmesan cheese and it was yummy. Probably the easiest meal I've ever made!

I also made an eclair cake at John's request. I made chocolate sauce from scratch because I only use it for eclair cake and I am out of money in my grocery budget this month. It was easy and super yummy. I couldn't find mom's recipe, so I 1/3-ed one I found online:

1/3 c. cocoa
1/2 c. water
1/2 c. sugar
Boil for 2-5 minutes.

That's probably it. Was it in the box? I couldn't find it.

Is it THE eclair cake you usually make, but with homemade sauce instead? I love that stuff!

Yes, just homemade chocolate syrup on the top instead of Hershey's.
