i'm sure you're not a crock-pot dummie,
but i was.
i was.
my stupidity came from crock-pot fear.
i was afraid of the crock-pot.
TERRIFIED!
i had heard many crock-pot love stories.
tales of women who dumped food in their pots
then
returned to the pot a few hours later with a warm meal prepared for their families.
FROZEN!!
it the middle of the afternoon,then
returned to the pot a few hours later with a warm meal prepared for their families.
i'd heard of how the crock-pot romanced women.
they would fill their pots with a handful of items in the a.m.,
set the heat setting and timer,
set the heat setting and timer,
then
LEAVE for the ENTIRE DAY,
and come home
and find dinner
READY and WAITING
for them
like a bouquet of roses.
{swoon}
i wanted needed to be dinner-loved like that.
so i timidly bought a pot.
i'm proud to announce
we've been going steady ever since!

here is the EASIEST
here is the EASIEST
crock-pot dish
for
the crock-pot dummie.
4 FROZEN chicken breasts
2 packets taco seasoning
1 tbl cumin
1 cup chunky tomato salsa
1 small can diced green chilies
set your heat setting to low.
{many crock-pots have timers for 4, 6 or 8 hours.
if that is the case set your crock for 4 hours.
will not take 4 hours}
at hour 3 remove the lid and shred the chicken with two forks.
{this allows the juices and flavor to infuse all the meat}
it will be fine.
really.
this shredded mexi-chicken
is great on tacos, nachos, mexican pizza, and more.
3 MEALS out of it!
3 MEALS!!!
i love you mr. crock.
XOXOXO
