Slow Cooker Mexican Shredded Chicken Soup
One of my favorite meals anytime of the year is soup! We wanted to try out a new slow-cooker recipe and found this one on Food Network courtesy of Ree Drummond. Love her and the recipes she creates! She doesn’t like to skimp at meals and this soup is super refreshing with the lime and tomato base but also really hearty! And who doesn’t love to throw everything in the slow cooker and head out the door for the day. Super easy recipe and it tastes even better the next day. You will need: 2-3 boneless, skinless organic chicken breasts 1 teaspoon chili powder 1 teaspoon ground cumin…

Slow-cooker Shredded Chicken Tacos
To celebrate Cinco de Mayo this past weekend we went in search of the easiest taco recipe we could find. We didn’t want to spend too much time in the kitchen when we could hang out by the pool right?! And let me tell you – this is not only the easiest slow-cooker recipe you will find but seriously one of the best! My husband joked that he was doing manual labor by having to scoop out the measuring spoon from the spice jars but seriously if you are in need a meal you can just toss in the crock pot and head out the door, you’ve found a good…

Slow Cooker Vegetarian Tortilla Soup
Tis the season for soup! Though I love to eat soup all year long (our local Pho place knows my daughter and I by name) and we are big fans of Ramen, Vietnamese soup, vegetable soup… heck, I don’t think I’ve come across a soup I didn’t like. We wanted to try a new soup and came across a yummy recipe for Mexican Tortilla Soup. We tweaked it a bit and I have to say it is one of my favorite soups we’ve made so far! Super easy if you are short on time. Just put everything in the slow cooker on high for three hours and you will…

Thanksgiving Books and Recipes to Share with the Kids
Image courtesy of Old Design Shop It’s almost Thanksgiving! Tis the season to be thankful! It’s always time to be thankful, of course, but I love this time of year because many people take the time to remind themselves and share with others what they are thankful for. This is a time to reconnect with my kids and discuss what we have to be thankful for. Instead of having a sit-down conversation, we share our thoughts while we’re in the kitchen baking and trying new recipes. And we read stories together. Stories that teach us about the challenges of others, the struggles of the past, and joy and…

Date Night Just Got Better with the new app Movies Anywhere!
This weekend we enjoyed a date night with the new app Movies Anywhere for a ‘movie night in’. We decided to try out the movie LIFE which is a Science-fiction thriller directed by Daniel Espinosa. Starring Jake Gyllenhaal, Rebecca Ferguson and Ryan Reynolds, LIFE is a space thriller about the discovery of intelligent alien life. I am a huge fan of anything Sci-fi and this movie doesn’t disappoint! The ending was so shocking it made me want to see what happened next in this gripping story! PLEASE make LIFE 2 Mr. Espinosa and Skydance Media! You might want to check it out if you like this genre. One of the features I really like…
