crock pot Red beans and rice

I was on the hunt to find something to make with rice, my wonderful brother was kind enough to send me a gift card to bed bath and beyond for my birthday and I purchased a rice cooker! This one here

Digital Simplicity Deluxe Rice Cooker/Steamer I make the worst rice on earth, every time it would come out soggy or burnt. This gadget is AMAZING, the perfect cooked rice. Plus it steams vegis!   So I found this simple yet yummy looking recipe here and it turned out great! Only warning it is a little on the spicy side [which hubby preferred]

Crock Pot Chicken Fajitas

 Crock Pot Chicken Fajitas

These were so yummy!! I'm really starting to warm up to my crock pot and found another fantastic recipe here, easy to make and yum!

 

Look at those Red peppers, they were HUGE and so colorful and healthy! Love sprouts farmers market, perfect place for produce. Moving on..

Combine sliced onion and peppers in the bottom of a greased crock pot. Lay chicken on top of veggies. Pour chicken broth over top. Something I learned from this - use the broth sparingly you add to much the chicken will be a little soggy, less is better for this one!
 

  Sprinkle everything with cumin, salt, and chili powder. Give a nice quirt of lime juice over the top.  Cover and cook on low for 8 hours (or on High for 4-6 hours). When meat is done, shred with two forks and stir back into juices. Serve meat mixture with slotted spoon on tortillas with your choice of fixings.
