This Slow Cooker Southwest Chicken is a great weeknight meal.  Just put everything into the crock-pot and forget about it!  I like to serve it over rice and add some avocado on top.  Yum!

You can choose whatever toppings you like or don’t put any extras on top, your choice. 🙂

So, has this summer been flying by or what?!?!?  I can’t believe July is already half gone!

My kids are in the bored stage of summer now, so that has made the past couple of days go by pretty slow.  Everything I suggest they have already done a million times over or it doesn’t sound like fun.

Come on folding towels doesn’t sound like fun???  Well, what about matching socks??  Oh come on it’s a challenge to find that matching sock, it’ll be a lot of fun I promise!!  Yeah they saw right through it!  Oh well, I tried 🙂

So, tell me what are some fun things you do with your kids when they are bored?

    I made the Southwest Chicken & it was well seasoned & so easy. I didn’t have the black beans or corn on hand so made it with out. We had left overs so the next day I put the chicken on
    tortillas with some grated cheese, rolled it up, heated in microwave, added some salsa on top & it made a great lunch with salad on the side. Thanks, Melinda, for the great recipes!
