Crockpot Chicken Tacos

These were so simple to make. I put them in the crock pot before I left for work and when I came home it smelled delicious! I love easy meals!! I hate coming home to a dirty kitchen so I try to do the dishes the night before but with meals like these it makes it much easier for us working moms to have something good and healthy and ready for when you get home.



Chicken Soft Tacos

3 chicken breasts
1 package El Paso chicken fajita seasoning
1 can Rotel
1/3 cup water
2 tablespoons olive oil

Sprinkle the fajita seasoning over the bottom of the crock pot. Arrange the three chicken breasts over the seasoning. Pour the can of Rotel over top along with the water and oil. Cook on low for 4 to 6 hours. Shred the chicken with two forks and cook for 30 minutes more. Serve with shredded lettuce, cheese and soft tortillas.

Baked French 'Everything' Toast with Blueberries


Yum yum yum!! This was amazing. My mother was stopping by to see Baby J so I wanted to make something fairly easy for us to snack on. I have never been much a french toast person but I recently I have given it a try and it's not so bad. I think my uncle just use to use too much egg and that really turned me off french toast. I found this recipe here. I didn't have any regular bread on hand but I did have a load of Everything Bread from Wal-mart. It is covered in garlic, sesame seeds, and a few other herbs and spices. It made a great sweet dish savory.

Baked Everything French Toast
1/4 c. butter
4 eggs
2/3 c. milk
1/3 c. sugar
1 tsp. cinnamon
8 slices Everything bread or whatever thick bread you want.
Vanilla, optional

handful of blueberries

Melt butter in 10 x 15 pan in oven. Mix sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle evenly into pan. Mix eggs and milk. Dip bread, soaking well. Toss blueberries over top. Bake at 400 degree oven for 10 to 15 minutes. Let stand 1 minute. Lift out sugar side up on serving platter.
NOTE: Use thick sliced French bread or Texas toast for best results
