Crockpot Ranch Chicken and Mushrooms
Psstt...I didn't use either the squash or zucchini in this recipe. For two reasons. It's fall and what was in the grocery looked gross was one. Two, my garden is giving up the ghost for the year...epic sadness for me. Oh well, it'll be back soon :) IF you can find squash or zucchini that looks decent OR if you grow it during the season...it's delish in this recipe!
