2 Cups Sugar
1 3/4 Cups Flour
1/2 Cup Cocoa
1 tsp Salt
5 Eggs
1 Cup Oil
1 tsp Vanilla
1 Cup Chocolate Chips

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (180 C) and grease 9x13 pan. Stir together first 7 ingredients with a spoon JUST UNTIL WET! Pour into pan. Top with chocolate chips. Bake for 30 minutes.

**Just a note! I like to triple the amount of vanilla and add 1 Tbsp.
**You can replace the choc chips with many kinds of sweets - smarties, m&m's, chopped up choc bar, reeses pieces, etc.

6 Chicken Breasts (can be frozen)
1 8 oz. bottle Italian Dressing

Put both in crockpot and cook 4-6 hours on low. Drain Italian dressing, shred chicken and return to crockpot. Add:

2 cans condensed Cream of Chicken (&/or Mushroom) Soup
OR 2 recipes of Cream Soup Substitute OR 2 packets of dry Cream of Chicken soup mix prepared with 2 cups water (for THM use 2 cups water, gluten free chicken stock powder and thicken with glucomannan)
2 - 8 oz. package Cream Cheese
2 C Chicken Broth
1 tsp Basil
1 tsp Thyme
Salt & Pepper to Taste

Cook on low for 1 hour.
Serve over pasta or rice (our favourite is Basmati Rice). (Now that I do THM, I eat mine over roasted vegetables.)

*Update* Can also cook on stove top. Cook chicken breasts in Italian Dressing. Shred chicken and return to pot with Italian Dressing. Add remaining ingredients and stir, heat until heated through.
