Crock pot orange chicken and sweet potatoes are delicious. They are perfect for dinner, and most enjoyable with some sweet potatoes on the side. You can put your crock pot orange chicken over rice or even just eat it with the sweet potatoes.

I made my crock pot orange chicken and sweet potatoes with some almond flour and so if you make it and it looks different, it is probably because of the flour. My daughter has stomach issues and so we try to accommodate her most of the time. However, you can use whatever flour you like.

Also, I am not a big fan of nutmeg, but this tastes amazing with the orange flavor. I love the combination of all the spices together! If you are not a big nutmeg fan, leave it out if you want, or you could even use just a 1/2 teaspoon.

We had a great weekend. It was a my grandson’s second birthday. He did get a few presents.  Kids these days get a lot of fun things that I think I would like to play with. He got a little bike without pedals, that way they learn balance and they learn to ride without training wheels faster. He also got cute clothes and books, dinosaurs and cute characters from Disney World.

Out where my son lives, they have a family that has a fun water slide. They have these long belts and you get on a tube and slide down this belt with water running down it. I did not do it because I have done something to my back. Anyway, the kids sure did have a lot of fun.

We also had dinner and it was amazing! We had pork sandwiches, fruit, chips, veggies and yummy salads. I bought cupcakes, mostly because of my back and I was working. The bummer about the cupcakes was that the frosting pretty much melted off!

And if the frosting coming off the cupcakes wasn’t enough, the wind came up and blew them off the table. Yes, they ended up in the garbage. So glad that we ate 1/2 of them before that happened. Another reason I bought cupcakes is because I didn’t know how to transport 60 cupcakes. But we sure did have a great time.

All the kids slept good that night. Even if they did have a lot of pink candy. We are so excited to meet this little girl. Now we just have to talk my daughter into telling us what she is having????

Now go make some crock pot orange chicken and sweet potatoes, and prepare to be wowed!
