This was very yummy and very easy! My cornish hens weren't as defeathered as I would have liked them to be, so I yanked off the skin. To try to make up for the loss of skin, I added a little butter, oil, and cream. I didn't have Spike seasoning, so I just grabbed a Tuscan blend I had in the pantry from Penzey's that smelled like it would do well. Maybe my potatoes were a bit big, the hens were done when we checked them at 4 hrs, but we ran it another hour for the potatoes. We loved it and plan on having it and variations on the theme in the future. Maybe it will turn me into a crock pot cook... -

I am a working mom who still loves to provide healthy, tasty food for my family. I try to provide an assortment of ethnic, regional, just about anything kind of meals. There are no limits here. I love this website. I plan out all the menus and get help from my husband who makes these recipes I find here at least 3 times a week. My daughter who is two has started wanting to help so I am now looking for family friendly meals also.
