DOMESTICATION... DIVA??

A Year of CrockPotting: CrockPot Bacon Wrapped Cornish Game Hens

So I've been following this blog for the last couple of months and have had quite a few folks mention they've also followed the link on my site to check her out... but tonight was the first time I've actually USED one of the recipes. I had it cooking today during the Cub Scout meeting (which prompted one of the other Moms to suspiciously look at me & say, "I thought you said you never cooked??"). I think her concerns were a bit alleviated, however, by the fact that one of the Dads in attendance is a firefighter. Always safer to have the firefighter Dad around when I'm cooking, right? (Because, after all, I did manage to crisp up the Bob Evans buns pretty well - LOL!!)

Anyway, I did these cornish hens, and I have to admit that they were pretty darn good! I wrapped them with thick-cut pepper bacon and the big boys were fighting over the bacon (I didn't follow the direction that said to toss it after cooking -- I figured I would have been drawn & quartered & cooked in the crock pot myself if I had tossed bacon...) and the hens were fabulous -- LITERALLY fell off the bones. I was hoping for this really nice presentation on my Longaberger platter... instead, I set out a pile of chunks of hen & bones LOL! The Man was rather impressed, though, with how juicy the hens were -- guess now I'm going to have to try out her Brown Sugar Chicken recipe (once I make a trip back to Trader Joe's for the brown rice I prefer!).
