Slow Cooker Salsa Chicken

I do not like Mondays!! It never fails that by Sunday night my tummy is in knots!

I am one that likes to plan out the week in my mind, the good..the bad..and the ugly! I worry that it won't run smoothly or that I don't have enough time or strength to get through another week. I know that God has His hands on me and my life and I know that He directs my path...so it's strange that I even let worry interfere with my thoughts at all. However, I am human and have a bad case of the worry warts!

So, I've decided that Mondays are going to be slow cooker days! I won't have to worry about dinner on Mondays! Today I am  making Salsa Chicken! I'm going to share this very very very easy recipe.

I started mine this morning and I can only imagine how my house must be smelling right now. YUM!

If you'd like to try it, here's the recipe. (in my words :-))

Ingredients:

6 boneless skinless chicken breasts

24 ounce medium salsa

1 pack of taco seasonings

1 lime

few jalapeno peppers

Mix salsa, taco seasoning pack, lime juice, and chopped jalapeno peppers and pour onto chicken breasts inside the slow cooker....and cook for 6-8 hours. Time varies due to crock pot temperatures and size of breasts! (the chickens, not yours! ;-))

ENJOY!

More about my frazzled life......

I'm so excited to be back to writing again! No, I'm not really a writer...I'm more of a "woman with something to say" :-) (most of us do, right?)

When I started out writing, I was a 35 year old single mom of 3, just recently saved and living in my FEMA trailer after hurricane Katrina. I am now almost 42 and a married mom of 3. It has been an adventure to say the least. The storm took away everything we had except my FAITH! I had great faith and on fire for Jesus. Since then I still have faith...sometimes it's so small that I can barely find it but Jesus said....

 "Because you have so little faith. I tell you the truth, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, Move from here to there and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you" Matthew 17:20

NOTHING will be impossible for me (you)! Then why am I struggling on most days with hectic schedules, chaos, overload of the brain, worry, fear, anxiety? I'm a woman of FAITH and I feel so funky!

It's because I'm focusing on the what if's...the why me..the it's not fair...etc. Our minds can be such a terrible thing sometimes...well at least mine is. I'm so far from getting it "right" and having that great peace that I see other Christian women have...or do they? I think that they have more than me but do they struggle on some days too?

God never promised us that we'd have an easy life but he did promise to never leave us or forsake us. Deut 31:6 " Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you."

Every day is a learning experience, a time to grow, a time to fall, a time to get up, and every day that I wake up, I know that I have a new day to draw closer to Jesus. It's my choice what I do with the day.

I love inspiration! I crave it! I hope that somehow the info I pass on can help inspire you!

Blessings,
