Something I do in my slow cooker nearly every week….winner winner chicken dinner

Whole chicken straight in, no water, not upside down either.

Crumbled a chicken stock cube on top but you don’t have to. The choice is yours, whatever you like, paprika, lemon, herbs…?

Then I wrap baby potatoes and carrots in foil with a k**b of butter and place it in the slow cooker as well.

Cook on high for 2 hours then turn to low for the rest of the day, (approx 5/6 hrs)

🍍🥥 Crispy Coconut Pineapple Rings — that’s the one!
These golden, caramelized pineapple slices coated in shredded coconut (with the classic maraschino cherry on top) are a tropical dream. They’re usually fried for maximum crunch or baked for a lighter version. Perfect as a snack, dessert, or brunch side.
Quick & Easy Fried Version (most like the photo)
Ingredients (serves 4-6):
• 1 fresh pineapple (or 1 can of pineapple rings in juice, well-drained)
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tbsp cornstarch (for extra crisp)
• 2 large eggs, beaten
• 1½ cups shredded coconut (sweetened for dessert vibe)
• ½ cup panko breadcrumbs (optional but helps with crunch)
• Vegetable oil for frying
• Maraschino cherries (for topping)
• Optional: pinch of salt, cinnamon, or powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions:
1 Peel, core, and slice fresh pineapple into ½-inch rings (or drain canned ones very well and pat dry — this is key!).
2 Set up 3 bowls:
◦ Bowl 1: Flour + cornstarch
◦ Bowl 2: Beaten eggs
◦ Bowl 3: Coconut + panko
3 Heat oil in a skillet to 350°F (175°C).
4 Dredge each ring: flour → egg → press firmly into coconut mix.
5 Fry 2-3 minutes per side until golden and crispy. Drain on a wire rack.
6 Top each with a cherry while warm. Sprinkle with a tiny pinch of salt or powdered sugar.
Serve warm with whipped cream, vanilla ice cream, caramel drizzle, or a simple coconut dipping sauce (coconut cream + honey + lime).
Easier Baked Version (less oil)
• Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
• Coat rings the same way (or just brush with melted butter/coconut oil and press in coconut).
• Bake on a lined sheet for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden. Broil for the last 1-2 min for extra color.
These pair amazingly with the syrup-soaked cake and pancakes from before — full tropical brunch!

I can't believe I went years without making Paula Deen's banana pudding—it's like a hug in dessert form, creamy and nostalgic all at once.

One rainy afternoon last week, I whipped this up and the whole house smelled like vanilla heaven. My kids devoured it, and now they're begging for seconds every night. If you've got a sweet tooth, this layered dream will steal your heart.

For the pudding layers:

- 1 box (12 oz) vanilla wafers

- 6 ripe bananas, sliced

- 2 cups cold milk

- 1 box (5 oz) instant vanilla pudding mix

- 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened

- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk

- 1 container (12 oz) frozen whipped topping, thawed

Start by beating the cream cheese until smooth in a big bowl—takes about a minute with a mixer. Stir in the sweetened condensed milk until it's all velvety and lump-free.

In another bowl, whisk the pudding mix into the cold milk for 2 minutes until it thickens up, then fold it gently into the cream cheese mixture. Finally, fold in half the whipped topping for that extra cloud-like fluff.

Layer it all in a trifle dish or big bowl: a handful of wafers on the bottom, then sliced bananas, then a generous scoop of the pudding mix. Repeat until everything's used up, topping with the rest of the whipped topping and a few extra wafers crumbled on top for crunch.

Chill in the fridge for at least 4 hours (overnight is even better) so the flavors meld and the bananas soften just right. When you dig in, it's pure bliss—creamy, tangy, with that satisfying wafer snap.

The trick to perfection? Use bananas that are ripe but not mushy—they hold their shape for pretty slices. Who's your go-to dessert sharer? Drop a ❤️ if this is hitting your craving spot.
