There is a recipe I have always wanted to try, but add my own twist to it.  I was craving cheesy chicken, and adding spaghetti at the end. This Crock Pot Spicy Cheesy Chicken Spaghetti is a ramp-ed up version of Crock Pot Cheesy Chicken and Rice.


All the flavors of cheese, chicken, and spices together are perfect and this is going to feed lots of people! This may be my daughter's favorite new dish! 



Chicken breast worked great for this recipe.  Chicken thighs would be good and tender, too.  I added more heat to this recipe by adding Frank's hot sauce. 

Our house LOVES angel hair pasta.  Once you use angel hair, it's hard to go back to regular spaghetti.  Pick whatever your family loves! You may not have to use the entire box, add a little spaghetti at a time and stir it in.

I was really exited to try potatoes in the Instant Pot! I wonder why I haven't tried this sooner, but like most of my other friends, there is some hesitations when using the Instant Pot.  I have found that if you just try it, it works out! I love all the flavors that come with this Instant Pot Bacon Ranch Potatoes Recipe.



We really took on a big project this summer. Because of the wet spring, planting the garden was later than normal We also planted more produce than the previous years.  These pictures were taken in June.  We had a problem with potato bugs this year.  Usually after the potato plants die, the bugs disappear.  They have stayed in the garden, and are now on the tomato plants. 



I mixed in a packet of Hidden Valley Ranch Seasoning Mix, you can add what you want for taste. Mix in shredded cheddar cheese, and serve.
