Recipe Share: Shredded Buffalo Chicken Sandwich with Blue Cheese Aioli

This sandwich recipe from Kelsey Nixon has the perfect balance of flavors and textures. I love it so much, the first time I made it for dinner I ended up eating it for lunch and dinner the next day, too. I couldn't get enough!!  It's not too spicy, but has enough kick to satisfy. I also love that you make this meat in your crockpot. It's so easy to just throw everything in, and then assemble your sandwiches at dinnertime.
Ingredients:
1/4 C. hot sauce
1/4 C. Worcestershire sauce
2 Tbsp. molasses
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 yellow onion, chopped
14 oz. can tomato sauce
2 lbs. boneless, skinless chicken breasts
salt and freshly ground pepper
6 hamburger buns, split and toasted (I like to eat it on an Orowheat sandwich thin bun)
Celery leaves, for serving
Blue Cheese Aioli, for serving, recipe follows

Blue Cheese Aioli:
1/2 C. crumbled blue cheese
1/3 C. mayonnaise
1 tsp. fresh tyme leaves
1 clove garlic, minced
(I usually add a few teaspoons of milk just to loosen up the aioli a bit, but either way it's great.)
Combine all ingredients and mix well. (I also add pepper to mine.)

Directions:
Add the hot sauce, Worcestershire sauce, molasses, garlic, onions, and tomato sauce to a slow cooker and stir to mix ingredients together.

Sprinkle the chicken with salt and freshly ground pepper liberally and add chicken to the slow cooker, coating evenly with the sauce. Cover and cook on low until chicken is tender, 4-6 hours.

Transfer chicken to a large bowl and shred, using 2 forks. Return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker and toss to coat with the sauce.

Toast your buns, and compile your sandwiches by smearing each side of the buns with blue cheese aioli and then topping one half with celery leaves. Then add the chicken and enjoy!

Try these soon. You will love them and may eat them over and over like I did.

Teacher Appreciation Gifts. By color.

With teacher appreciation happening this week, I knew I wanted to do something nice for my 3 kids' teachers. I fell back on my usual gift ideas, and did a combination of chocolate, gum, and goodies from Bath & Body Works. All women like those things, yes? And, yes, I'm kind of a color coordinating freak. I love things to match, so I first chose 3 chocolates at Target and then went to their dollar section and found a few things that matched the chocolates.  How cute are these pink and white thumb tacks? The little sticky notes are a very light shade of blue that I thought worked with the turquoise. And I loved the purple pencils and purple paper clips, too.  I made sure to get 5 small things for each teacher. Bath and Body Works always has cute little sanitizers, sprays, and lotions.   The white scalloped edge tins I found at Target in their party section with all the wedding stuff.  Luckily I had filler leftover from Easter, and I always have tissue p

Party 101.

I remember when my oldest son was 4 years old, and I wanted to plan a birthday party for him. I was overwhelmed with how to go about planning a birthday party for little kids. I wasn't sure where to start. All I knew was that he really wanted a Thomas the Train theme. Cohen, at his Thomas party. Up until then, we had always done birthday parties with family only, and they were simply eating a meal (often at a restaurant), opening presents, and having cake. This would be our first friend birthday party, where we'd have to plan activities and food for all the kids. I so wanted to have a party that was memorable for my son and his friends.  I emailed a friend of mine and asked her for advice. She gave me some great tips that I've used in all my parties since. My twin sister, Jaime, also has been a great source to turn to. She throws a mean party and is crazy creative. O ver the years, I've also learned a lot of things from trial and error, lots of trial and err

Teacher Appreciation Gift.

My son's school did a theme each day of the week for Teacher Appreciation... (flower day, note day, treat day, etc.) I spaced it and remembered last night that we hadn't done anything yet! ACK! So, to Pinterest I went and found this cute pin . Lucky me it came with a printable tag that says "ORANGE you glad it's almost summer?" I thought it was perfect. (And being OCD about gifts matching, this made me very happy.) Here's what's inside : Peach Nectarine Sparkling Ice drink - these are so yummy Lindt Intense Orange dark chocolate bar - one of my faves Dreamsicle candle from Walmart Country Chic lotion from Bath & Body Works Sweet Tangerines hand sanitizer from Bath & Body Works Orange Tic Tacs and Tropical Trident gum Lots of orange-y goodness.
