4 bone in chicken thighs and 2 legs

1 8oz can mexican tomato sauce

2 tbsp honey

3 tbsp cider vinegar

1 tbsp worcestershire sauce

3 dashes liquid smoke

5 dashes Tabasco sauce 

1 tsp crushed red pepper

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 clove minced garlic

2 tbsp BBQ sauce -I like Famous Dave's Devil's Spit

Mix all ingredients and put in your crockpot on low for 4 1/2 hours, then take the soft chicken right off the bone.

Toast some buns and add this with more BBQ sauce, red onion and sour cream for some pulled Chicken sandwiches.  Delish!

Baby Leggings in 5 Minutes or less

 

Sewright -Blog by Ruth Yoder

 These are the cutest leggings! And soo easy to make.

 All you need is:
1 pair of socks. I used Knee socks, so my 6 month old little girl will be able to wear these into next year.
Sewing machine.
Thread. (Thought is should mention it.)
Pins.  

 Cut off the toe and the heel sections on both pairs.

 I cut through both at the same time. No time to waste!

 Toss the toe and heel sections, but keep the middle portion and top.

 Fold wrong sides in so you have a cuff.

 Lay with both raw edges facing the same direction.

 Now put your cuff around the long portion of the sock so that all raw edges are facing out as in the picture.

 Pin...not so hard, right?

 Now slip the sock around your machine arm. I took off the extra table surface on my machine. This will stretch the sock while you sew.  Sew around a half inch, pulling while you go around. This is so your threads will not break when you stretch it to put it on.

 I pinked my edges, but you don't really need to, as these socks do not usually unravel.

And here you are. Finished. Now go see how cute they look on your little one.
