Teryaki Crock Pot Chicken

6-8 chicken thighs (I like to use boneless/skinless, but bone in works too)
1 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 tsp ginger powder (or 1 inch fresh grated ginger root)

Place chicken in crock pot. Mix remaining ingredients together and pour over chicken. Cook on low for 6-8 hours. Serve with rice and stir-fry veggies.

Oatmeal Waffles (gluten free)

1 1/2 cup oats
3/4 cup milk
4 tbsp of butter or margarine, melted, cooled
1 tsp baking powder
1 tbsp brown sugar

Beat egg white in a small bowl until stiff and set
aside. Mix together the dry ingredients and sent
aside. Combine egg yolk, milk and melted butter. Add
to dry ingredients, mixing until just blended. Fold in
beaten egg white until just mixed. Do not over beat
battter. Cook waffles a little longer for extra
crispness.

OATMEAL COWBOY COOKIES

3 cups flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. salt
1 1/2 cups butter, softened
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 1/2 cups brown sugar
1 Tbsp. vanilla
3 eggs
3 cups chocolate chips (I only used one bag of milk)
3 cups oats
2 cups flaked coconut
2 cups chopped pecans (optional, I didn't use)

In a bowl, mix flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt;
set aside. In a large bowl, beat butter until smooth and creamy.
Gradually beat in sugars and vanilla. Add eggs and beat well. Add
flour mixture and stir until just combined. Add chocolate chips,
oats, coconut and pecans. Drop dough by 1/4 cup measurements onto
greased baking sheet, 3 inches apart. Bake at 350 degrees for about
12 minutes. Makes about 4 dozen large cookies.
I just use my cookie scoop, it's not 1/4 cup.
