Ughghg you know I how I feel about the crock pot. Set it and forget it – yes not the right tag line, but it works. I love being able to prepare my meals in the morning before work, throw it in the crock pot, let it slow cook all day while we’re at work, and come home and dinner is ready. We made these delicious slow cooker tacos last week and fell in love.
When Fatima’s mom stays with us, she makes a delicious peanut butter sauce. Sweet peppers, spices, and a whole lotta peanut butter over some chicken. Delicious! We modified her recipe and used turkey as our main meat. One bite of these slow cooker tacos and your heart will melt.
