Domestic Diva's Dinner Disaster!

Well, after several delectable dinners in a row, 

this domestic diva, had a dinner disaster.
It brings me back to the quote, "You just can't do it all."

Remember how excited I was to make hubs

Orange Chicken in the slow-cooker?
It started out all fine and dandy.

Mother-in-law came over for lunch leftovers,

we had eggplant parmesaen casserole 

and oven baked crispy pork chops

with a savory salad.

After they left, I ran to the store to get the fozen OJ concentrate.

I pan-fried the chicken and stirred up the orange glaze.

And threw it in the slow-cooker.

It said to leave it on low for 5-6 hours, and a worry 

went through my mind because I knew this crock gets mad hott!

I left at 3 and Joe got home at 8 and turned it down to warm...

when I got home around 9 it looked like this:

I decided to post my imperfections because this is life!
I am an amazing cook.

However, I am also human!

I still doubt that Giada has any flops, she's perfect in my book.

I promise to keep it real on my blog always.

I'd like to try this recipe again, but I will be home monitoring it!

Next time I do a slow-cooker recipe when I'm not home, 

I'll stick to a soup or something super easy haha!!

At least I burned some major cals at Zumba
while the chix burned at home.
I also snuck in some twin-time and girl time with Al.

And I can share with you, lovely readers, that even a hot housewife like myself

can suck in the kitchen!

So I hope to redeem myself today and will share with you

some recipes I have made this week that were edible.

{side note: I ate mine solely because I was ravenous after so much cardio.
Hubs however, settled for a good ol' pb & j.}

Good thing he still loves me!!

Does anyone else feel like Brad Paisley writes love songs about them? 

Or am I weird? 

There are so many I relate to! 

It's fabulous. 

I love them.
