2 onions, sliced
1 green pepper, seeded and coursely chopped.
Montreal steak seasoning

In a crockpot slice up one onion. Set meat on top of it. Shake a generous amount of Montreal Steak seasoning over the meat. Slice the other onion and the green pepper on top of the roast. Sprinkle the lime or apple juice over the meat. Cook on high for 7 hours. Take meat out of pan and shred with a fork and pour off the juice and discard juice.

Dip chicken in egg, and dredge in flour. brown chicken in butter in a large skillet over med-high heat. Remove chicken and set aside (at this time you can finish baking in the oven or return to pan later and cook on med for 10-12min until juices run clear). Reserve drippings in skillet and add more butter if needed and mushrooms over med-high heat, stirring constantly until tender (I also add a little bit of the cooking wine during this process so the mushrooms can better absorb the flavor). Add chicken, Marsala and remaining ingrediants and top chicken with cheese and sprinkle cheese in sauce. I like to top rice with sauce so I double sauce recipe. I also take the mushrooms out and finish cooking chicken in sauce until sauce thickens slightly then I add in the mushrooms and serve. Yummy!

I first tried this at a Relief Society function. It is elegant, easy, and delicious. The crust was my favorite part. For my B-Day we ate this instead of cake!

Ingredients:
1/2 gallon vanilla ice cream

Crust:
1 cube butter
1 cup brown sugar
2 cups Rice Krispies
1 cup coconut
1 cup walnuts, chopped

Raspberry Danish Dessert
1 bag. frozen raspberries

Melt butter in a sauce pan. Stir in brown sugar until combined. Then add Rice Krispies, coconut and walnuts. Press down in a 9x13 cake or glass pan. Freeze for about 10 min. Meanwhile set out vanilla ice cream so it can soften. When crust is set scoop ice cream on top of crust and spread evenly. Cover and freeze for a few hours or overnight. Just before serving prepare danish dessert according to directions for the "fruit sauce" on the package. Add raspberries. Serve warm or cold over ice cream squares.
