FABULOUS Chicken Tacos



So I was searching for a recipe and came across this one for really great crock-pot chicken tacos! You should try it!
  • 1 pkg of chicken taco seasoning
  • 4 frozen chicken breasts
  • 1 can rotel
  • 1 sliced onion
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup water
I made it with bell peppers, but probably won't again. Put the seasoning in the crock-pot, then place your frozen chicken breast side by side. Pour over the rotel, olive oil and water. Put in the onions and set on high for 4 hrs. After 4 hours, take out chicken, shred it with a fork and put it back in to cook for 30 minutes.
Cook and prepare accompanying taco items. EAT and enjoy!

So at AWANA every year, there is a snowman contest. Leaders are decked out for each club. 3rd and 4th grade boys did a great job!

Bright White


You can't really tell from the picture, but this is a bright white keyboard! When we first got our MacBooks we were disappointed at how dirty the keyboard gets. We try to use alcohol and/or a magic eraser to clean them, but it never looks new. Well due to the flaw the area near the track pad cracks, so they've started replacing the keyboard. I just had little sliver cracks at the edge, but was on the list to get a new keyboard. I got it today! Bright White again! It won't last long and this picture doesn't do it justice!

ENERGY PLEASE!


There's a strong possibility that my body isn't using energy correctly. Desperate for any resolve for my current lack of energy, I've decided a low carb change might be worth it.
It seems great until you realize that everything I eat either has lots of carbs...or require a carb partner!
Even grapes and pineapple are supposed to be avoided! Those are my favorite fruits and the only in the school cafeteria.

For ONLY 1 Cat


Litter for Multiple Cats has been a common "selling" feature for several years now. It's the big bag that I've bought for years. Just the other day I was changing the litter when it hit me that I no longer have "multiple" cats.
I never set out to be a "CRAZY CAT LADY" but still had my childhood cat
and one that was born in Mom & Dad's garage while I was in college. But a single woman with 2 cats does qualify as a crazy cat lady in most people's eyes....but at least I'm not dressing up a dog which seems crazier than owning cats!
Anyway life does require a little adjustment when you've lost a cat that lived to be almost 19 years old. I guess blogging about it just makes the case for crazy cat lady stronger!

Hands UP



At school we had students participate in the Hope International-Hands Up for Poverty. Students were to write a message of hope for Earthquake victims in Haiti. For every photo uploaded to Shutterfly $5 will be donated to Hope International.
I think the students did a great job!
