• Summer Break 2017

    image source Hi Y’all, I wanted to stop in and let you know that I’m going on Summer Break. You might have noticed I’ve been pretty quiet with new content on the blog the last few weeks and between my day job, traveling, and soaking up every last bit of summer, I decided that it’s best for me to officially take a couple weeks off from the blog. I’m looking forward to relaxing and spending some extra time with my husband. Don’t worry, just because I won’t be blogging doesn’t mean that I won’t be working on new recipes.

  • Slow Cooker Crispy Lime Chicken Tacos

      For the longest time, I was anti-slow cooker. But over the last 2 years I have done a complete 180 on my feeling about the slow cooker and I’m a total fan girl now! Once of the things that helped change my mind was finding some really great recipes that we love. I have a very simple 4 quart slow cooker that we got as a wedding gift six years ago, and while it works just fine for the recipes I like to make, it might be time to upgrade soon.     Now let’s talk about the reason you are here today, these amazingly flavorful Crispy Lime Chicken…
