Well blaze of glory I’m posting food.
I’ve got one baby in a body sling and the other hanging from the ceiling fan blades. I’m doing A’IGHT.
So check this out. I actually cooked three nights in a row! THREE. 3! TOIS. I have no idea how and I’m pretty sure a pacifier or 40 have ended up in our food, but I’m cooking. And it feels good. And I even took photos. Mind you, I’m basically showing you the exact same photo four different times, but slightly further out. Just scroll down. Go look.
Yep, same photo.
Well bollocks.
(I’ve been watching a lot of Sherlock lately, so I’m trying “bollocks” on for size. Does it work? Wow, that was quick and resounding no.)
This type of meal was invented for people like me. Postpartum psycho maniacs with a saggy topknot, unbrushed teeth and poopy diapers coming out of her face. You throw a stuff of bunch into a slow day early in the cooker, and then throw together the eat right before you slaw.
Hold on, I have 15 babies crying.
Okay what was I saying?
Right. Crock Pot, chicken tacos, shredded happiness, dinner. The end.
Oh good there’s a pacifier in my bra. Good.
Crock Pot Chicken Tacos:
What it took for 6:
for the chicken mix:
* 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts
* 1 pound chicken thighs
* 1 (16 oz) jar of favorite salsa
* 1 red onion, sliced
* 4 – 5 cloves garlic, chopped
* 1 Tbs. chili powder
* 2 tsp ground cumin
* 1 Tbs. smoked paprika
* salt and pepper to taste
for the cabbage slaw:
* 3 cups finely shredded red cabbage
* 1 cup chopped cilantro
* juice of one lime
* pinch of salt
Throw everything (but not the cabbage slaw) into a slow cooker and cook for 4 to 6 hours. (Or if you’re at work, 8 hours on low) Shred with tongs or a couple of forks and let cook another 30 minutes or so.
Serve in corn or flour tortillas topped with the cabbage slaw. Yes.
And because I can’t help muhself.
Ugh.
chicken, crock pot, slow cooker, tacos,

Bev. You are my hero! How do you do it? I'm right there with you on the saggy topknot (that's falling out by the clump-fulls), poopy diapers, and unbrushed teeth. It's mighty glam. Hope you are well my friend. I think of you daily!

I adore your blog, your recipes, and your babies! My twin girls are now 6 months and looking at pics of your little babes, makes me wish for those early days back. But it just keeps getting better - and so much fun! Enjoy those precious little ones!

The crock pot is a glorious invention, but good recipes for it are hard to come by. This recipe, however, looks perfect. Thanks for sharing-- I can't wait to give it a try.

Slow cooker to the rescue! I could never seem to stock up on prepared freezer meals before baby so the slow cooker came in mighty handy. I am sure these will make a frequent appearance in May after #4 arrives. Plus summer, tacos, and margaritas (how I have missed thee) just work together so well. Love all the baby pictures.

The fan sounds like a fun ride; it might even lull the baby to sleep. I think you're onto something. I happen to be a Sherlock freak, so I love it. These tacos look delicious and your photos are beautiful.

Hey Bev! First of all, the twins = amazing. Love the pics on FB, love the captions, love it all. Second of all, I made these tacos in the crock pot and they came out fab. BUT, I want to make them again for a dinner where I will only have two hours to prepare and no crock pot (girls bach party at the beach). Are there any shortcuts? Can I boil the chicken then shred then toss with salsa and cook a little longer?

Bev Weidner March 3, 2014 at 11:02 pm #
I totally think you could! Just boil the chicken, shred and toss with some salsa. Cook for a bit and voila! Which is everything you just said. Sorry. Let me know how it turns out!
