Slow Cooker Carolina Chicken and Rice

Well, y'all know I love to support local ... local farmer's, local markets, local food artisans and more, so it should come as no surprise to many of you when I discovered, and "liked" Carolina Creole.

I quickly became acquainted with the Luquire Family, through Facebook and the internet and was very intrigued with their Carolina Creole Sauce, Rice and Grits.  I was really enthralled when I discovered they won the "Sofi" (Specialty Food Association) GOLD award this year for their grits.  Read about their win here. Want to know more?  Read about the Luquire Family here!
