Baby Quilt and A Recipe

Ta da!! It's totally finished now. Does this mean the baby will come out now?

Without looking at the bad pic of me on top - this picture is meant to show how big the quilt really is. 8 x 10 - 6 inch squares.

I was really unsure whether to use this rainbow binding I had left over from another baby quilt but in the end I decided to use it. I'm so glad I did. As usual, the binding just brings everything together and looks so different once it's all stitched in. I especially like the blue and yellow corners - more leftovers from another quilt.

I really want to share an awesome slowcooker recipe I tried out this week. I have been looking for a economically priced HUGE slow cooker for quite some time and the opportunity came!!

Can. Tire had a sale on a simple but HUGE (8 quart) crockpot for 60% off. It went from $75 to $25 and THEN I had a scatch and save and recieved the $80 item for just over $20 with taxes. Yippee!! You may see some more great recipes to try out here as I enjoy it.

Tex Mex Chicken

1.5 lb of chicken pieces - whatever you prefer

2 tbsp flour

2 tbsp taco seasoning

2 peppers (can add other veggies too) - cut into strips

1 cup of corn

1.5 cups of salsa

1 cup of cheese

Mix the flour and taco seasoning together and roll chicken pieces in mixture. Place on bottom of cooker. Place pepper strips on top. Add corn and salsa. Cook on low for 10-12 hours or high for 5-6 hours. Add cheese for last half an hour or until melted.

Serve with rice or on tortillas.

Notes: I added kidney beans for extra volume and I did increase some of the increments to feed our whole family. Next time I will double the recipe - that way you have two meals in one. One night - rice and chicken, fajitas the next!! Enjoy!!
