LONG SHADOW FARM MORRILL MAINE ~ Farmers Market

I am a huge fan and supporter of our local Farmer's Markets. On Saturday's, there is a wonderful Farmer's Market at the Reny's Plaza in Belfast, Maine. We are so lucky to have LONG SHADOW FARM as one of the vendor's. Long Shadow Farm is a CSA. They supply vegetables and herbs to local restaurants and markets. Along with a large array of vegetables, fruits and herbs, Long Shadow Farm also has a beautiful selection of flowers. Support your local farms and Farmer's Markets in Maine.

Easy Coffee Rub Brownies ( Fire and Flavor)

I just LOVE brownies! Especially when they are warm out of the oven! I cheated here and used a mix, I wanted to try the combination from Fire and Flavor's Coffee Rub and I just happened to have a brownie mix. I added an extra egg to make the brownies more like a cake, and with the coffee rub seasoning, the brownies were delicious!Friends stopped by, I think they smelled the brownies baking outside....mmmmm, I couldn't wait to cut into these delicious, warm, melt in your mouth, perfect brownies. I really liked how the coffee rub added to the flavor. Would I make them again? Absolutely!

I prefer the corner piece PLEASE!!!

I love my Slow Cooker! Here is a simple and delicious recipe for all of you slow cooker fans that my gal pal Shirley shared with me. She has made it many times for parties and for home and it is always a big Hit!!


Shirley's Slow Cooker Chicken

4 chicken breasts (but you can use leg and thigh if you want)

I placed them into the cooker.  I mixed in a Pyrex 2 cup size,

1 cup low sodium chicken broth, and one pkg of Taco seasoning. (I found the Kroeger brand better than another I used)

I also, added 1 tsp. of the Better Than Bouillon paste in a jar. It gave the dish a richer sauce.

I put it onto slow cooking for 4 hours, and the first time I needed some more time and added the high for a short time.

I separate the fat from the sauce in a separator, but if you leave it overnight the fat rises to the top. (I leave the skin on)

Serve with rice or potatoes.

Easy, breezy.

Thank you Shirley for sharing this delicious recipe with MOORE OR LESS COOKING! Nettie
