SLOW COOKER SALSA CHICKEN
As warmer weather approaches, lots of folks start thinking of ways to make supper without turning on the oven. Especially if you live in a small house like I do. When you turn on the oven, you also have to crank up the AC because the oven heats up the whole house. Now, I cook nearly everyday of the week, so it’s unavoidable that I’m going to have to turn on the oven in the summer. But I do try to keep it to a minimum. And one of the ways I do that is to use my slow cooker.

I just noticed a comment from someone who only cooks for 2. I live alone and I can tell you it freezes beautifully.
OMG…the crockpot chicken sounds de-lish. Can’t wait to try it. Also, can’t wait to make the Boston cream poke cake for our church potluck. I know they will love it. I’ve made other poke cakes before, experimenting with different flavored cakes and jello. Then using a pudding mix & cool whip combo for icing. It’s always a hit. Thank you Brandie!
So easy and yummy. Made tacos., Taco salad with homemade tortillas chops and burritos. Can’t wait to make enchiladas! Thanks for great recipe!!
