Hello!

Hubby and I were on a roll this week with our cooking! From Thursday to today we made lots of yummy things ranging from crock pot meals, family favorites, sweet treats, and fresh juice…Instead of lots of details to each food thing, I will list the food item and share a picture or a mini story…

Crock-Pot- Spanish Chicken Tacos

This was super easy…We had bought chicken (seasoned with Spanish seasoning) that was on sale and then froze it for a later date.  When we were ready to make it, we put it in the crock pot frozen, added a little salsa and water, and let it do its thing…After about 8 hours on low it was ready to shred (super easily) with a fork and put on tortillas with shredded cheese!  So easy and so tasty…Didn’t take picture, sorry!

Family Favorite-Ham and Beans with Fried Potatoes…Recipe passed down from Hubby’s Grandma to Mom to us…Thanks Mominlaw for the secret tricks with soaking the beans and the potatoes, they were soooo good…

This was very successful, and Hubby had seconds and ate the remaining leftovers the next night.  He was super impressed and there is something to be said about making a meal your hubby really likes, it made me feel a little bit like a domestic goddess! Here our the pictures…

ham, slice into bite size pieces or whatever size you please...wash and peel potatoespour in vegetable oil and toss so all potatoes are covered with the oil

 Forgot to take pictures of cooking process…ham and beans go in big pot and cook for about 2 hours…Potatoes went in pan, which was coated with oil, and cooked for roughly 35 minutes, turning regularly…

Dessert- Semi-Homemade Chocolate cake…it’s from a box and already made frosting, but I still put it all together, so it’s better than buying an already made cake…I count this as following a recipe…

Fresh Juice and Oatmeal for breakfast…

Crock Pot-Pot Roast (I’ll be honest, Hubby made this and it was delicious)

Hope you enjoyed…now go make yourself something yummy!
