Rhubarb Cheesecake Bars

I've made these twice, and they are delicious!

2 (8 oz) pkgs cream cheese, softened
2 cups sugar
2 eggs
16 oz rhubarb, cut into 1/4" pieces
1/4 tsp cinnamon

CRUST:
2 cups flour
1/2 cup butter
1 cup oatmeal
1 cup brown sugar
1/4 tsp cinnamon

Mix together cream cheese, sugar, and eggs until smooth.  Add cinnamon.  Gently fold in rhubarb.

Cut butter into flour, oatmeal, brown sugar, and cinnamon until coarse and crumbly.  Press about 2/3 of mixture into bottom of 9x13 inch pan.  Pour rhubarb and cream cheese mixture on top of crust.  Sprinkle with the rest of the crust mixture.  Bake for 45 minutes at 350 degrees or until inserted knife comes out clean.

Sweet n Spicy Chicken Crock Pot recipe

We just had this last night and is one of our favorites.

Ingredients:
3 boneless chicken breasts
1/3 cup brown sugar
1 can diced tomatoes with chilis

Place chicken in bottom of crock pot. Mix the rest of the ingredients together and pour on top. Cook on high for 4-6 hours. Shred chicken half way through.

We put this in tortillas and make burros. Would be great over rice as well! Enjoy!

Chicken in the Crockpot

I'm not sure what to really call this recipe.  I'm sure others have just thrown whatever into their crockpots with chicken breasts and had similar results.  My sister Kelli told me about this recipe that she used to make all the time, so I thought I'd give it a try.  It turned out GREAT!  I loved it.  In fact, I made it twice in like 9 days.  It would work fabulous for Hawaiian Haystacks, too.

Put some boneless, skinless chicken breasts in your crockpot.  (I used 4 from Costco, and there was a lot of meat in this)
2 cans cream of chicken soup
1 package cream cheese (I used the 1/3 less fat kind, and it was great.  May try fat free next time, too)
1/2 a packet of Onion Soup mix

Throw it in your crockpot on high for 4 hours or on low for 8.  You just have to cook the chicken through. 
I added a little bit of cream because I had some in my fridge, about 1 hour prior to serving. 

This chicken is so creamy and delicious.  The chicken just practically fell apart.  I served it over rice.  I think it would be an AWESOME base for Hawaiian Haystacks, and you can layer it with whatever you want or eat it plain like I did.
