Slow Cooker: Chicken Burritos

SLOW COOKER: CHICKEN BURRITOS
 
 
We had this meal tonight, and I have to say, it was a hit.  Before, I knew it was going to be such a hit, I had missed any photo opportunities for you.  Sorry, I will get one next time and post it for you.   All the kids were loving it, and most of them had seconds on their dinners.  Which doesn't always happen.  Because the Mister and I are changing the way we eat and are trying to get into better shape, we altered the way it was served for us versus the way the kids ate it. 
We had ours as a salad and the kids had whole wheat burritos.
 
Ingredients:
 
3-4 boneless skinless chicken breasts, trim off fat
1 (8oz) can tomato sauce
1/2 C salsa
3-4 T taco seasoning (or one package)  Ours is low sodium
1 t. chili powder
1 t. cumin
2 cloves minced garlic
 
 
Place the chicken in your slow cooker.  Pour the remaining ingredients over the top of the chicken.  Cover and cook on low for 6 hours, or until the chicken is thoroughly cooked.

Take two forks and shred the chicken apart.
 
Serve with lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, black beans, salsa, avocado slices (all sides are optional--fit to your family's liking)
 
We used whole wheat tortilla shells for the burritos and over a bed of green lettuce for a Tex-Mex salad.  
 
Also, any remaining sauce could be used as a dressing as well.  I mixed it with 1000 island dressing and it was really good.
 
We had just enough leftovers for a salad tomorrow.  Yay!

Hey Girl!

We've all seen the Ryan Gosling "Hey Girl" memes that are all over Pinterest.  Well, these Five Fabulous bloggers are hosting a "Hey Girl" link party;  View Along The Way , Decor and the Dog , Bliss Ranch , Two Twenty One and Domesic Imperfection .  This is a fun way to show some Valentine's Love for my main man.  Anyone, who knows The Mister and I, knows that we are in such love that we are inseparable.  I thought this would be easy, you know, since I've been with The Mister, for-ever.   But it was a little harder than I thought.  Trying to find the perfect picture to go with the perfect "Hey Girl" was a little tricky, too.  However, once I got into my groove, I could have done a gazillion more of these. How do you not fall in love, even more, with a man that falls asleep with their babies? Cheers baby!  You love me and you know it!   Happens every. Single. Time. I rent a movie Working on it, ...

ORC: Week One - Built-Ins & Overthinking

Image
 Well, here we are at week one of the One Room Challenge and I have officially wasted a full week overthinking my base cabinets.   I was so excited.  Ordered them online from The Home Depot, got curbside pick up.  Got them home and placed them in their new spots and instant buyers remorse.   What had I done?   I started sending pics to those closest to me and asking their opinions.  The icing on the cake was when the hubby got home and immediately said, "Holy smokes those things are HUGE!" I went on Instagram Stories and asked for your opinions, which was 50/50, so that didn't help at all....hahaha    I  then started using painters tape to fuel my vision.  I am such a visual person that I really need to see that what was currently in my home was not too large, cumbersome, bulky, and literally ruining my vision for built-ins.    I asked friends to check it out when they stopped by.  Friends!!!  It ...

Back to School....Back to Blogging

Hey, hey, hey....I can not believe it's been nearly 5 months since my last post! 5 months!   That's forever.  Nearly 1/2 of this year.  So, far, that is the entire length of my employment at my new job.  See where I'm going?  Lots have happened in 5 months.  Unfortunately, just not lots around the  house, like I had been hoping for.  I think I had to glorious idea in my head that I would be able to get about 3-4 posts, consisting of projects, crafts, recipes, what have you, up on the blog each week.  I really did.  And then....reality hit. And it hit hard.    Blogging takes a lot of time.  It's enough that the projects take time, but then to add blogging to it.  Wow, was I ever delusional.  I don't blog for income, I blog for friends and family, mostly those out of town, to see what has been happening in and around our family.  So why put that stress on myself? ...
