Shredded Chicken/Pork Tacos w/ Cilantro Dressing


Summer is a time for quick and simple meals. My good friend Katie passed this yummy recipe on to me last year and it has become one of our favorites. I love to add avocados to any dish possible so I serve an avocado and tomato salsa along with this dish (which I have included). The combination of cilantro dressing, avocados, tomatoes and chicken is amazing, you must give it a try!





Crock pot:
Pork Roast (I get a boneless one) or chicken (I usually cook 4 breasts)
Chicken broth (enough to cover about 1/4-1/2 of the roast or chicken)
Let cook on high for 6-7 hours, until will shred really easy.
Shred and pour in bottle of Salsa Verde. Keep warm in crock pot.

Cilantro Dressing:Put into blender & blend until smooth:
2 cups mayo
1 bunch of cilantro
1 jalapeno (with out seeds)
2 cloves garlic
2 TBS white vinegar

Warm the tortillas. Spoon on the shredded chicken or pork mixture, add the dressing, Monterey Jack cheese, shredded lettuce and salsa. You can also squirt a little lime on top.
Roll tortilla and enjoy!

Asian Chicken Lettuce Wraps

I am always looking for fast, easy and nutritious meals for my busy weeknight meals.  These wraps have become one of our family favorites.  We serve these with a side of wontons or potstickers to complete the meal. The filling can be made ahead of time and reheated if your day is extra busy. Bibb lettuce is our favorite, but feel free to use iceberg or even romaine for this dish. I hope you enjoy these as much as we do!

Bakery style Strawberry Muffins

New recipe! Can you even believe it?! Kirsti and I decided we need to get back in the habit of sharing our favorite recipes by sharing at least one a month so here you go:   I’m starting off with these scrumptious strawberry muffins. Extra large and fluffy, these muffins are bursting with strawberry bits and topped with the most delicious strawberry glaze. If you end up with extra glaze, go ahead and drizzle some extra.  No judgement here :)   Even if you already love the previous strawberry muffins on our blog, you need to try these- they are the only ones I'll be making from here on out.  They're that good!

Scrumptious Sugar Cookies

Sugar cookies are one of my favorite things to make with the kids! It's tradition to make them for a few different Holidays including Valentine's Day. While decorating is the usually the main purpose in making these, over the years I have tweaked the cookie recipe and frosting to make them absolutely scrumptious as well! So much yummier that buying a store-bought mix and canned frosting.  I would even be so bold as to say I think they are every bit as good, if not better, than Swig and Crumble! Give them a try and see if you agree.   My Scrumptious Sugar Cookie Frosting is an ultra creamy, cream cheese frosting with a few extra additions that put it over the top! Sour Cream adds to the creaminess and takes the sweetness down a notch.  The frosting is still plenty sweet but not sickeningly so.  Butter Vanilla Emulsion is my other secret weapon that really elevates the flavor of this frosting! It can be found on Amazon, or in a craft store like Michaels,  but...
