Crock Pot Chicken Fajitas 

1 yellow onion, sliced
3 sweet peppers, sliced
1 ½ pounds boneless chicken breast or thighs
1/4 to ½ cup chicken broth, depending on preference (leave this out if you prefer a drier fajita filling)
½ teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons cumin
1 ½ tablespoons chili powder
Squirt of lime juice
Tortillas
Fajita fixings

Combine sliced onion and peppers in the bottom of a greased crockpot. Lay chicken on top of veggies. Pour chicken broth over top. Sprinkle everything with cumin, salt, and chili powder. Give a nice quirt of lime juice over the top. Cover and cook on low for 4-8 hours (or on High for 4 hours) or until meat is shreddable. When meat is done, shred with two forks and stir back into juices. Serve meat mixture with slotted spoon on tortillas with your choice of fixings.

Kneader's Raspberry Bread Pudding (made by Angi)

Angi made this the other night and it was to die for! I thought you girls might like it. Seriously one of the best desserts I have ever had! http://www.chef-in-training.com/2012/02/kneaders-raspberry-bread-pudding/

Crusty Rolls

This recipe is really easy and the rolls are super good. They taste like a roll you would buy at a fancy bakery. They take a lot of time, but not a lot of work. You start them before you go to bed and then in the morning add more flour. I made them yesterday to use as the rolls for the french dip I made for dinner. I made 8 rolls and it was perfect for the sandwiches.

This is a MUST Try!!

I made this recipe tonight for roast chicken and it was amazing!!! There is even a video to watch and she shows you how to do it. I used dried thyme and only half the garlic because I didn't want to use a whole clove. Also, I used quartered red potatoes and I didn't have any fennel. Anyway, it was amazing and you all should make this recipe. Lastly, I don't have any cooking twine so I looked up that you can use a heavy duty thread instead. Enjoy.
