Chicken Crockpot Recipe
by Kelly Lamb

I threw together a good crockpot recipe and thought I would share it with all of you. I never even thought to take a picture of it! I will repost with a pic the next time I make it.

I found boneless, skinless chicken thighs marked down at Walmart and purchased two packages. Before work I seasoned them with a couple seasonings bought from a fantastic place called The Spice House. I used Ozark Fried Chicken Seasoning and Hyde Park Seasoning.

I browned them in an oblong slow cooker like this West Bend 84905 5-Quart Oblong-Shaped Slow Cooker

I love being able to brown things on the stovetop and then place it on the hotplate to cook while at work.
I think it gives the food a richer flavor!

Interactive Images on ThingLink

If you want to make your IMAGES INTERACTIVE on your website {or use in FB - mentioned lower}, check out ThingLink.

You hover over the photo and information is displayed that you chose to highlight.

You can direct traffic to places you have embedded as links {such as a FB Page, product websites and more}. You can also embed music clips and YouTube videos.

ThingLink is Innovative and Interesting.
AND IT'S FREE.

To use in FB, HERE is the page that tells you how to do it. A bit more complicated.

At first this was not working as "interactive" for me here on the blog. I went to my ThingLink Account settings and clicked on "Looking for how to Thinglink-enable your entire site?". You can then choose from WordPress, Blogger, Tumbler or Other Platforms. You can chose to make your whole blog interactive on all photos, or just the ones you choose to. {I see that even my photo links to other blogs are activated.}

Another BONUS:
You can enter your Google Affilate ID to your ThingLink account!
I think blogging with this option will be a little easier than coding the post in some situations!

Has anyone used this?
