Egg Free, Dairy Free, Nut Free Crock Pot Pineapple Barbecue Chicken

This chicken was so moist it just falls off of the bone and had a fantastic flavor. The girls loved the pineapple cooked this way. Next time I'd like to try this sauce with boneless skinless chicken breasts because the kids weren't thrilled with the bones and skin.

Crock Pot Pineapple Barbecue Chicken

2 1/2 -3 lbs  chicken drumsticks or boneless skinless chicken breasts - frozen or thawed
40 oz bottle safe barbecue sauce
16 oz pineapple chunks - drained - reserve juice

Place the chicken, barbecue sauce, and pineapple juice in the crock pot and stir to coat. Pour the pineapple chunks on top. Cover and cook on high for 2-3 hours or on low for 4-6 hours.
*  The sauce is wonderful served over hot cooked rice.
*  If you use the chicken breasts, you can shred the chicken and mix with the sauce.

Egg Free, Dairy Free, Nut Free Pineapple Marshmallow Sweet Potato Casserole

This is one of our favorite holiday side dishes. My favorite part is the brown sugar topping. The marshmallows add just the right amount of sweetness to the casserole. This picture does not do this casserole justice. If you like sweet potatoes, I highly recommend trying this dish.

1/2 cup brown sugar

Mash the yams in a 2 quart microwave safe oval baking dish. Add the pineapples, marshmallows, 1/4 cup margarine and salt then stir until thoroughly combined. In a separate bowl, melt the 2 tbsp margarine. Add the brown sugar then stir until combined. Sprinkle the brown sugar mixture evenly over the yam mixture. Cover the dish with a paper towel then microwave for 7-9 minutes or until heated through.

I love pineapples and this snack cake is just perfect. I love simple recipes and I always have this cake in the pan and ready before my stove can preheat.
