Ladies Who Link-March: Go-to crockpot recipe




With my family's busy schedules, my crockpot is definitely one of my favorite kitchen appliances!  I love being able to come home to a hot meal after a long day.  One of my favorite go-to meals is my chicken tortilla soup.  My girls call it "chicken chili".  


Chicken Tortilla Soup

1 pkg. of raw, boneless chicken tenderloins
1 15 oz. can of diced tomatoes
1 10 oz. can of enchilada sauce
1 medium onion, chopped
1 4 oz. can of green chile peppers
3 cloves of garlic
2-3 cans of chicken broth (depending on how much liquid you want)
1 pkg. taco seasoning

1 oz. bag of frozen corn

First, I lay the chicken tenderloins on the bottom of the slow cooker.  (I used tenderloins because they are smaller and easier to shred at the end, but boneless chicken breast works too.)  Then, I open everything else and pour it on top.  It is truly that easy!! Honestly, my 8 year old did most of the work with the can opener.



Cook it on high for 4-6 hours or on low for 6-8 hours.  About 30 minutes before serving, take the chicken out using a slotted spoon and shred it with 2 forks.  The chicken is so tender that this does not take long.  Serve with shredded cheese and sour cream.  My girls like to eat tortilla chips or corn chips with their soup.  It is delicious!

  1. Sounds good! I usually make mine on the stove, but this is a great time saver, especially with the tenderloins.

Stranded! September 14: Movies

This month's Stranded Linkup hosted by Shay at Mix & Match Mama and Erika at A Little Bit of Everything is all about Movies!! I don't know about you, but this is a tough one! I love so many movies! I think these three I could watch over and over and over. I think that I have to go with my all-time favorite movie as a child for the first pick. 1st Pick Oh my gosh, you guys! I LOVED this movie SO much when I was little! Hayley Mills is my favorite! This version was the only one in existence when I was young, so I am biased and think this one is MUCH better than the Lindsay Lohan remake. 2nd Pick I mean, who doesn't love Will Ferrell and his crazy antics?! And in a holiday movie!?! We have watched this so many times during Christmastime and every other time of the year! My kids can quote many favorite lines! 3rd Pick I think this one needs to be a newer comedy that my husband and I have watched so many times. I LOVE Paul Rud...

It's the 3rd Thursday of the month! That means it is time for Ladies Who Link with these lovely ladies! Allie at A Gal Named Al ,  Lisa at Coast to Coast ,  Tara at Mommy In A Nutshell , &  Holly at Pink Lady We would love for you to add your thoughts to our linkup! At the bottom of the post, add your link so we can check out your Memorial Day Plans and how you are planning to kick off Summer! Every Memorial Day for the last several years, our closest group of friends comes over with their kids to celebrate! We hang out by and in the pool, have some drinks, eat some food, roast marshmallows and make s'mores by the fire pit! And this year will be no different!  Last week, I went to Target (where else?!) to stock up on some fun party things for the kids. Because let's be honest...if the kids are having fun and occupied, the adults are having fun too! I love to have these around for parties! They are so convenient! I got them from Par...

Happy Memorial Day!

Grab a cup of coffee and get comfy! Here is mine below! I felt like I needed my coffee to take the preparation for this project on! On Saturday, my family and I had over 3 other families for a pool party and cookout. Here are some of the things we did! My homemade cold brew iced coffee! On Friday, I ran errands collecting supplies for the party. I came across these cute paper platters at Target! They were great for holding the hamburgers, hot dogs and buns. I also picked up some bubbles for the little kids, some juice boxes and water bottles, and of course, some pool floats and noodles, it was a pool party after all! Is there anything Target doesn't have?! Here are a few of the decorations I put up just to make it a bit more festive. These would be great for a 4th of July or Labor Day party too!
