I love Mexican food. I am half hispanic on my dad's side and so I grew up with this food. My grandma always had her homemade tortillas fresh off the cast iron burner when we went to visit. One snack I loved to have was a roasted Anaheim Chile pepper folded inside a tortilla. I grow those peppers in my garden just for that snack. These enchiladas are made with corn tortillas and shredded beef. I just cook the roast in my slow cooker and the rest is fast and simple. And cheesy. Also, if … [Read more...]

Slow Cooked Chicken Alfredo
I make this dish on Sundays all the time. I stick it all in the slow cooker when I get up and then it's ready to eat when we get home from church at 1 pm. All I need to do is whip up some mashed potatoes or cook some noodles to go with it. I also love cooking this in the summer when I don't want to heat up my kitchen with the oven. I put it in the slow cooker around 11 am on low and it's ready to eat by 6 pm. Serve it over mashed potatoes, egg noodles, or fettuccine noodles. … [Read more...]

Finally, I have the recipe to make my own. I've tweaked it a little to suit my taste and love making it anytime I want. Slow Cooker Chile Verde … [Read more...]
