Chicken Tacos (Croc Pot Recipe)

I tried a new chicken taco recipe late last week and we totally loved it and it was super easy.

Ok, I don't have a picture of this. I thought the recipe would be online but its not the same as what they (Taste of Home) has in their cookbook. It's from their kids pleasers cookbook if you wanted to know.

Ingredients:
2.5 lbs chicken breast (ish)
1 jar of salsa (I use meijer)
1 can of corn (or frozen) drained
1 can of black beans drained

Directions:
Mix the corn and black beans together
Layer 2/3 of the above mixture, 1/2 the salsa, chicken, then remaining 1/3 mixture and 1/2 jar of salsa in your slow cooker.
Cook on high for 3-4 hours.
Shred the chicken and cook for another hour or just keep it warm.
Serve with: tortilla shells, sour cream, lettuce, shredded cheese, and whatever other taco toppings you prefer.

As for the 2.5 lbs of chicken, I used 2 think large chicken breasts, cut them in half, and it made 1 layer of chicken in the crock pot.

This was a HUGE hit here that everyone loved it made a TON too. We had leftovers for quite a while and that was eating it all the time. :)

Found a picture that it kind of looks like but keep in mind, this is NOT top notch photography! :P

Egg Free Pancakes!

Okay, so you all may not be as excited as I am but I tried a new recipe tonight for pancakes without egg. And, for those of you who are not aware, my son can not have egg therefore I've been trying to figure out breakfast foods he can have. So, here we have it....

Ingredients: 
slightly adapted for us conversions and my taste
2 cup all purpose flour
1/3 cup sugar
1 tsp baking soda
2 cups milk
3 tbsp butter (melted)
4 tsp white vinegar
2 tsp vanilla extract

Directions:
Combine flour, sugar, and baking soda.
Create well and pour milk, butter, vinegar, and vanilla in.
Mix together (I left a couple clumps)
Pour into pan, flip when they bubble and then serve.

The original recipe was 1/2 of this and called for 1/4 cup of sugar. Some of the reviews stated that the pancakes were a bit on the sweet side so when I doubled it I went with 1/3 instead of 1/2 cup. They came out plenty sweet.

As soon as Andrew tasted these he said he loved them. I have to say (along with many of the reviews at taste.come/au) that these taste better than a lot of the pancake recipes I've tried with egg so they are definitely going to become the pancake of choice here.
