Crock Pot Meal of the Week: Two Step Crockpot Mango Salsa Chicken Enchiladas

As many of you know, I love my crock pot and I'm constantly experimenting with recipes in it. Sometimes they are complete failures. Other times they are the BOMB.COM. This week I made Mango Salsa Chicken Enchiladas and everybody had seconds (even my kids...my husband had thirds).

Here what you'll need:

1 cup Mango Salsa (we used the kind you get from Costco but any kind will do)
1/2 cup Medium Salsa
3 chicken breasts (seasoned with cumin and chile powder)
1 8 oz. package of cream cheese
1 cup corn and/or black beans

Cook in the crock pot on low for 6-7 hours. The chicken should easily shred/fall a part. That's how you know it's ready. Shred the chicken being sure to mix the salsa and cream cheese well.

Fill 8-10 tortillas with the filling, sprinkle a little cheese, roll them up and place in a 9x13 baking pan(preferably). Leave behind about a 1/4-1/2 c of sauce and pour on top of the rolled enchiladas. Add more sprinkle cheese (yes, I call it sprinkle cheese). Bake for about 15 minutes at 350 degrees.

This would also make a great freezer meal. Enjoy!

30 Gluten-Free Crock Pot Meals that Won't Break the Bank

In honor of my dad, this round of crock potting is gluten-free. Over the summer my dad was diagnosed with Celiac Disease and when I found out, I cringed for him. My dad, like me, loves food - all kinds of food but especially pastas, pizzas, bread. How on earth could we take out so many delicious foods that fall under the category of "gluten" and still be satisfied? Apparently it's not as hard as I thought. These recipes are REALLY good, completely satisfying, super easy, and very affordable. I did 30 meals for $168 (this includes a strainer I needed plus disposable trays for the two freezer meals). Keep in mind these recipes are NOT Paleo or AIP. They are simply GLUTEN FREE. That also doesn't mean fat-free or calorie-free. Sorry, folks! ;) You also won't find any cream of whatchamacallit or seasoning packets. Not because I'm completely opposed to them (though I do know they are highly processed and not good for us), but because most, if not all of them

How We Painted Our Cabinets {and Totally Transformed Our Kitchen}

About 9 months ago I took the plunge and painted our kitchen cabinets. I feel like this is the DIY project that most people are afraid to tackle because, hello! It is the kitchen. So much time is spent in the kitchen and it really is the focal point of the home – if it’s done sloppy, wrong or doesn’t turn out as expected it would be a huge headache and a lot of money to fix. However, this is probably the best DIY project our family has done. Not only did it make a HUGE impact on our home and main living space but it was extremely cost effective at only $150. Once upon a time, our kitchen looked like this: Now it looks like this: It was pretty yellow before. Maple was everywhere. Maple cabinets, maple floors. I walked in this room and it felt like it was constantly glowing (even after I painted the walls a beautiful shade of “perfect greige”). Anyhoo, I knew I wanted a white kitchen. I feel like white cabinets appear decade after decade. They are timeless and cla

Each Day Has Enough Trouble of Its Own

Sometimes we hear exactly what we need to hear. That's what happened to me this week. Along with motherhood, as many of you know, comes so much worry. Worry about the well-being of your child. Worry about doing things correctly. Worry about giving enough time to your children and enough time to your husband. Worry about finding enough time for yourself. Worry about being a good mom and a good wife. Worry about getting enough sleep tonight so I can have enough energy to get through tomorrow. The list of worries and anxieties go on and on. They don't tell you about this when we sign up to be parent. Or do they? Anyway, last week I was reading the Bible. While studying the book of Matthew I came across this verse: "But seek first His kingdom and all His righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own." Matthew 6:33-34 Isn't that script
