Weekend of Food, Family and Fun

Our weekend was full of family, food and fun - how about yours?

FOOD

Healthy Crockpot White Chicken Chili. I threw all of the below ingredients in the crockpot and it cooked for about 6 hours. YUM:

• 1 lb chicken breast
• 1 can navy beans
• 1 can kidney beans
• 1/2 large onion
• 1.5 cups frozen corn
• 2 fresh diced zucchini
• 3.5 cups chicken broth - gluten free for us
• 2 tsp dried oregano
• 2 tsp cumin
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp pepper

FAMILY

Just look at that tummy <3  Grammy came to visit and watch the kiddos.  Can you also believe my 2 yr old son took this photo?

FUN

I spent Saturday at an awesome blogging workshop put on by Philly Social Media Moms. It was awesome to meet so many amazing, smart and inspiring mom bloggers. And hey, look at the cool gift bag each of us received from The Walden School where we had the workshop.  Nice!

It's been a busy past month with little time for blogging, but I'd like to get back into posting at least once a week. Little Guy and Girl haven't been sleeping wonderfully...well, since Christmas really.  So, my goal is to get them back on a good schedule so we can all sleep better and I can have a little free time at night - prime blogging time!

So what did you do this weekend?

Crockpot Chicken Fajitas

I'm not a big crockpot cooker, but sometimes it's nice to throw everything in a big pot so it's ready in time for dinner without worrying about having to cook that day.  This is just one version of crockpot chicken fajitas that I threw together the other day.  We've been eating this chicken for the past few days in different forms (in wraps, on salads, with gluten-free spaghetti, etc.!).  So, I'd say it was a successful recipe!

Here are the ingredients I used - all things I had in my cabinet, freezer and fridge!

• 1 bag frozen onion and peppers
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 2 packages organic chicken
• 1 package fajita seasoning 

Directions:

• Add onions and peppers to bottom of crockpot,
• Pour in chicken broth
• Add chicken
• Add fajita seasoning

Here's the chicken right after cooking for a few hours in the crockpot (my crockpot cooks SO fast!).  I always use a meat thermometer to make sure it's the correct temperature.  One of my most used kitchen utensils.

I shredded it, then added salsa, avocado and tomato.  The below photo is my fajita on a regular flour wrap. I used a gluten-free rice based wrap for my son's fajita.

The three of us were REALLY hungry for dinner, so I didn't take time to snap too many pretty photos.  But we all enjoyed these fajitas.  'Mexican' inspired food is always a great meal option for us as it offers a nice well-rounded meal even without the cheese or sour cream.

Let me know if you try this or have other great allergy-friendly fajita recipes!
