Slow Cooker Creamy Jalapeño Chicken Tacos

March 26, 2013 by Tiffany

These were such a hit! They have just enough spice to make them interesting without being too spicy. The sweetness of the corn balances the spice. And they’ve got cream cheese. What more can you ask for?

Bonus – they cook in the slow cooker!

Recently, I was asked to try out the new Philadelphia Spicy Jalapeño Cream Cheese as part of Kraft Foods and PHILADELPHIA Spicy Jalapeno blogger program. Cream Cheese is one of my favorite ingredients and I knew we would love this one. We did! The jalapeño and cream cheese are a perfect pair of contrasting flavors.

Easy Crockpot Chicken Fajitas

December 7, 2012 by RachaelW

Who doesn’t love Mexican food? I don’t know anyone. Honestly, I could eat it every night. I discovered an easy way to make fajitas in the crockpot. The best part is all the flavors really cook well together. And leftovers are even better. We were so hungry the day I made these that I forgot to take a finished product picture. But you can imagine they were very yummy!

Ingredient Spotlight: Tortillas

October 26, 2011 by Tiffany

I think tortillas are a fantastic food. You can wrap almost anything in them and suddenly it feels like a pulled-together meal.

One thing that’s been on my to-make list forever is homemade tortillas. I’m sure the homemade kind taste much better than store-bought.

Here are a few of my (many) recipes that use tortillas: [Read more...]

Chicken and Dumplings in the Slow Cooker

October 21, 2011 by Tiffany

Chicken and Dumplings is one of my family’s favorite meals, but I don’t always have time to make the homemade version. This time, I decided to try a reader suggestion for super-quick dumplings.

The secret is flour tortillas. It doesn’t get easier than that. And I even used frozen chicken tenders, skipping the thawing. Those two time-saving steps make this meal a breeze.

Black Bean and Rice Freezer Burritos

September 7, 2010 by Tiffany

These have been the handiest things to have stashed away in the freezer. We’ve eaten them for a quick lunch or when someone needs to have dinner at an odd time. The heat up in the microwave and taste great.

I read about the idea on the SC Johnson website in a post written by Sandy of The Reluctant Entertainer. She shared her method for freezer burritos, but didn’t share a recipe. I took her idea and decided to create a black bean and rice filling. In just a little time I had 20 delicious burritos in the freezer.

Here’s what you’ll need:

Green Chili Chicken Enchiladas

August 24, 2010 by Tiffany

You may have noticed that I have a thing for enchiladas.

There’s something about warm tortillas stuffed with zingy filling and covered with melting cheese. Yum!

These were inspired by cans of green chili enchilada sauce I picked up at the grocery. Simple and delicious.

Refried Bean Quesadillas – 5 Minute Meal

August 12, 2010 by Tiffany

I made these one day when I had a gaggle of giggling girls here for lunch. There were a few boys present too.

Thankfully, these were a hit with all of them and they only took 5 minutes to fix. I’m thinking these may come to the rescue one of those nights when we’re running out to a soccer game this fall.

Smoky Chipotle Chicken Tacos in the Slow Cooker

July 28, 2010 by Tiffany

Oh yum! We’ll be eating these frequently. They have the ease of a slow cooker meal and the crowd-pleasing taste of Mexican food. They are similar to Chicken Fiesta with Black Beans and Chicken Tacos and Salsa Verde Steak.

But they also have a bit more heat (not so much to make them too hot for the kids) and a delicious smoky flavor.

Bean and Cheese Enchiladas

July 20, 2010 by Tiffany

Please forgive my photo. I didn’t take the time to plate this before taking the pictures, so you get to see the serving dish and even the cheesy spatula.

I made these for a quick and easy weeknight dinner after scrounging my pantry and fridge for ingredients to pull together a meal. We all really liked them.

Here’s what you’ll need:
