The end product.

Red Velvet cheesecake brownies cut into hearts. They are very easy to shape and cut out from the pan and they tasted delicious!

Cooking Chicken fajita in a crockpot.

A picture of my crockpot chicken fajita's simmering away in the crockpot....yummy


The finished product...a mix of vegetables, chicken and spices....the aroma was delicious and it tasted delicious. Served with tortilla's and rice...yumm!




RECIPE:


1 lb boneless chicken breast cut into 1 inch strips


2 tbsp taco seasoning mix


2 tbsp flour


1 each- red and green pepper (cut into thin strips)


1 onion- cut into thin strips


1 cup frozen corn


1 1/2 cup salsa (I used a whole jar)


1 cup shredded cheese (to be used a topping, not put into the crockpot)




To MAKE:


Mix the chicken with taco seasoning and flour in the slowcooker (coating the chicken) Stir in all the remaining ingredients except the cheese.




To COOK:


Cook on low for 6 to 8 hours or cook on high for 3 to 4 hours


Stir before serving and top with cheese.


You can serve with tortillas and/or rice




It is a very good recipe, i suggest you try it. If you do like it spicier try a hotter salsa and maybe add a bit more taco seasoning. It is delicious!




Sponge shopping.

Browsing the aisles of a big box store. (which I will not name as to not promote this chain on my blog) I came across this delicacy in the valentines section. Sponge taffy. It may just look like a flat piece of styrofoam/spongy looking candy at a glance but once you turn it around you see.....

It is infact three dimensional and looks like a sponge. Our children are going to ask mom as you walk down the valentines aisle if they can buy this novelty sponge candy.

I am afraid it may become an addiction. Children may find sponges under moms sink or in grandma's cleaning closet and assume they too are novelty candies. We might find our children sitting at the kitchen table eating sponges. Has candy gone to far? I myself will not be buying sponge taffy candy...looks too much like the real thing.
