Taco Chicken in the Crockpot

Had someone ask for the recipe for this so thought I would post it as well. Its super easy to make and super good to eat!

1lb. chicken, raw
1 packet of taco seasoning
1 container of fresh salsa
1 can black beans
1 can of corn, drained

In the crockpot, layer chicken then taco seasoning, salsa, black beans and corn. Let cook on high for about 2 hours until the chicken is cooked through and tender.

Then:
Shred the chicken and add back to the crockpot and mix everything together.

Then add:
1 8oz. cream cheese
1 cup of cheddar cheese

Stir well and cook on low until cheese is melted in well.

Serve with nachos, over rice or with tortillas.

I was blessed!

I had a birthday this past week! They are coming to fast now days...... but look what someone got me! I was SO VERY excited! I have wanted one of those willow tree nativity sets for a very long time but it seems there is always something else to spend your money on. But this week I was blessed :)
Here is hoping you have a blessed week as well!

Oreo Truffles!

Yum! The whole family loved the Oreo Truffles, they went super fast! But then again, sweets don't last to long in this household.

How about the recipe:

1 pkg. (1 lb. 2 oz.) OREO Cookies, finely crushed, divided

1 pkg. (8 oz.) PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese, softened

2 pkg. (8 squares each) BAKER'S Semi-Sweet Chocolate, melted

MIX 3 cups of the cookie crumbs and the cream cheese until well blended. Shape into 42 (1-inch) balls.

DIP balls in melted chocolate; place on waxed paper-covered baking sheet. (Any leftover melted chocolate can be stored in tightly covered container at room temperature and saved for another use.) Sprinkle with remaining cookie crumbs.

REFRIGERATE 1 hour or until firm. Store any leftover truffles in tightly covered container in refrigerator.

I used Mint Oreo Cookies and semi- sweet chocolate chips instead of the Bakers Chocolate but it achieved the same results :)

Blessings to all!

The Rag Quilt

Well thought I would hop on the bandwagon and try one of these lovely "rag quilts" not quite as easy as I thought it would be. I am very new the art of sewing and not quite mastered the sewing machine even though I have owned one for over 20+ years.

It, took about two days to finish and lots of patience! And a very good problem solver (my ds) to work on the sewing machine when I got it in a mess.

And it doesnt show all of your mistakes which is very good!

Blessings all,

Lisa
