Justin worked on this glorious Sunday afternoon and what better way to surprise my handsome guy after work (especially since he has been battling this nasty flu/cold/cough thing that has been making its way around)? Food! What guy doesn't love food? Tonight's endeavor: cilantro lime slow cooker chicken with roasted jalapenos and salsa! (If you want the recipe, send me an e-mail. It's A-MAZING!)
Justin grew up in rural Indiana where hearty, fattening meals with perfectly delicious desserts were prepared nightly by his mom. Then, he met me and the very best I could do for him was provide him with an array of takeout menus and the closest fast food joint. After some failed attempts at various meals and two very happy dogs, I decided to take matters into my own hands. It has been slow, but I'm learning, and I better learn quickly because well, Justin is starting to fade away! I need to put some meat on his bones quick!
I happened upon Crockin' Girls, a website completely devoted to making meals in crock pots, on Facebook one day and have been trying recipe after recipe ever since. What a genius website! And it just so happens that Justin has loved every single thing I've made.
So, no, I am not the next Top Chef or Julia Child but I am definitely the Slow Cooker Queen because I swear, no matter what you put in that thing, every meal comes out tasting delicious!
