Recipes for July (I don't cook much in Iowa!)

Breakfast Cobbler
4 servings

4 medium apples, peeled and sliced
1/4 cup honey
1 teaspoon cinnamon
2 tablespoons butter, melted
2 cups granola cereal

Spray inside of crock pot with nonstick spray. Place apples in crock pot and mix in remaining ingredients. Cover and cook on LOW for 7 to 9 hours, or overnight (alternately, cook on HIGH for 2 to 3 hours).

**NOTES: Can use prepared canned pie filling, just leave out the honey and add spices for your taste.
Can be served plain or with milk or breakfast. I also like it as a dessert with ice cream.


Chicken Casserole (crockpot)

32 oz sauerkraut, rinse and drain
1 C Russian or 1000 Is. salad dressing
6 chicken breast halves
1 TBSP prepared mustard
1 C shredded Swiss cheese

Place half the sauerkraut in the crock pot. Pour on about 1/3 cup of the dressing. Top with 3 chicken breast halves and spread the mustard over the chicken. Top with the remaining sauerkraut and chicken breasts. Drizzle another 1/3 cup dressing over the casserole. Refrigerate the remaining dressing until serving them. Cover and cook on the low heat setting about 3 1/2 to 4 hours, or until the chicken is white throughout and tender. To serve, sprinkle 3 to 4 tablespoons of cheese over the chicken and about 1 tablespoon of the Russian or Thousand Isl dressing on top.

This recipe can be cut in half.
