I'm making the Crockpot Ranch Chicken recipe caro posted Friday. It's too darn hot to mess around the stove. Probably ice cream for dessert. Let me know how it turned out. I am making it this week and wonder if I need to tweak the recipe.

It was a very busy day between cleaning the house, laundry and errands, plus it was extremely hot and humid so I declared tonight family pizza and movie night! Everyone seemed happy with that.

I am making it this week and wonder if I need to tweak the recipe. Well, I wish I could say we loved it, but on this try, I'd have to say, eh, not so much. To be fair, I did kind of half the recipe since it's only DH and I, and my stuffing mix wasn't as fresh as I thought, so that may have made a difference. It tasted good, and we ate it, but DH allowed as how I didn't need to save the receipe. lol I made it as directed, but wondered if I should have stirred it a bit. The topping turned out to be kind of gummy, but that may have been because of my halving the recipe and not maintaining the right ratio of ingredients. Anyway, it sounded good, I'm glad we tried it, and thanks again for sharing.

I was out all day, and it is HOT here this weekend (90ish, anyway). Although they did say it might rain tomorrow. Sorry, got sidetracked. ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/5645536/images/MNrJDkDuSwqIMVw33MdD.jpg) Anyway, I got home and had all that lovely leftover pot roast and mashed potatoes and carrots from yesterday. I was going to steam some broccoli too, but too hot, too tired. Topped off with a Weight Watchers dark chocolate/raspberry ice cream bar. A very successful flavor combo. ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/5645536/images/MNrJDkDuSwqIMVw33MdD.jpg)

I think the size of the crock makes a difference. DIL has a round one whereas mine is oval and it may make a difference when I make it. Did you taste the ranch dressing?

caro - I did and that was an interesting flavor mix - I make a ranch chicken taco that's similar and we like it. Good point about the size of the crock; I was going to use my small one but didn't think everything would fit, so used my 3.5-4 qt round one. Good luck with yours!
