Garlic Chicken

This one was basically a modification of a recipe in our slow cooker Owner's Guide.

Ingredients:

• 2 sprigs fresh thyme
• 2 sprigs fresh rosemary
• 2 sprigs fresh sage
• 2 sprigs fres Italian parsley
• Toasted French bread slices
• 40 cloves garlic, unpeeled
• 1/4 tsp. black pepper
• 4 pound whole chicken
• 2 stalks celery cut into 3 inch pieces

Directions:

1. Place 1/2 of the spices (except garlic) in the chicken cavity. (I don't use all of those spices for mine)
2. Place celery in bottom of slow cooker
3. Put chicken on top of celery and add garlic around the chicken along with remaining spices.
4. Cook on high 4 hours or low for 8 hours.

To serve, put all on a platter, squeeze garlic out of skins onto French bread and spread with knife.

Cabbage

Cabbage, I have been told, is a great food for those who want to lose weight. In the past 2 weeks, we have had 3-4 cabbage based meals, and I have lost 4 pounds (This was in 2010 and at that point, I was 18.5 pounds down from my highest weight ever - and that was before the cancer treatments).

Ingredients:

• 1/2 lb chicken breakfast sausage
• 5 links of Archer Farms Garlic and Spinach Sausage with no casing
• 1/2 head of cabbage 

Directions:

1. Brown the sausages and cut into 1/2 inch slices
2. Boil the cabbage until it reaches the consistency you prefer
3. Mix and serve

 No seasoning is needed.
