Crock Pot Santa Fe Chicken

This is an easy, make ahead the night before, sit in the crockpot making your house smell good all day and come home to a delicious meal kind of recipe. I found it on this blog. It has great recipes and if you are a weight watcher it tells you points.... I have made this 3 times since printing out the recipe about a month ago. It is the perfect recipe if you are having a big group over because it makes a lot of food! Hope you enjoy as much as Sten, Tyler and Julie did when they came of for dinner a few weeks ago :)

Look at this nice group of Seminary Friends! We are thankful for them.
  • 1 lb of boneless skinless chicken
  • 14.4 oz can diced tomatoes with mild green chilies
  • 15 oz can black beans
  • 8 oz frozen corn
  • 14.4 oz can fat free chicken broth
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 3 green onions, chopped
  • 1 tsp: garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, cayenne pepper
  • salt to taste
Combine chicken broth, beans, corn, tomatoes, cilantro, green onions, and spices in the crock pot. Lay chicken on top. Cook on low for 10 hours, or high for 6 hours. Half hour before serving, remove chicken and shred. Return to crock pot, and stir in.
Its recommended to serve over rice. But its SO good in a flour tortilla with rice, salsa, guacamole and jalapenos.

YUM! I hope you make this soon, and tell me how good it is.

I think its time to make a summer goal list. I am going to start thinking of things. Especially since this week we bypassed spring and went straight to summer. NOT complaining though, the heat feels GREAT!

xoxo. Happy Wednesday... AND Survivor night!

back 2 school. back at it. back to reality 2026

We eeeked out every last drop until it was time to head back to school on Wednesday. Annual tradition trip to Lucette after Meet the Teacher is the photo above. Happy to report that everyone did great the first 3 days of school- although I don't know if we're quite ready for a full 5 day week starting tomorrow :) Sten took the boys to Michigan to go to his cousins daughters wedding and they did something that Sten introduced me to when we were dating and on staff together at PLCBC- diving for golf balls! The boys thought it was a blast and I love that they got a bright blue -sunny -skies day to make the water look turquoise and the ball finding easy. While the boys were gone Lucy and I whooped it up! We went to the first Hudson football game... Went to the Glenwood City Rodeo.... AND drove to Iowa to see Josiah Queen at the Iowa State Fair!  Fun is an understatement to describe this little getaway and I feel so lucky we got to do this together. Then it was BACK TO REALITY! holy...

bookends/ teacher things/fall poem

The bookends of my day yesterday was God's way of showing me that I am going to be ok. This picture from my solo run in the morning was absolutely perfect. Cold hands, fast road miles, worship music and a text from a friend right in the middle of it saying that I was top of her prayer list that morning. Then in the evening the boys were outside playing waffle ball and Lucy was walking around the neighborhood with friends and I cranked up my music and cleaned the entire middle/lower level. I stopped at one point and thought-- this is the biggest gift right now.  Other things: I love pens. and there is something so satisfying about having every single color of felt tip/ gel tip at your disposal. lol. Life touch teacher photos--why is my ear showing so much? Is this what I always look like? Haley hosted the Badland Babes for some brunch after our Willow run on Saturday and she made THE most delicious food, didn't know I needed a bonfire until I was sitting in this chair eating thi...

Merry Christmas 2022

I am in complete denial that an entire year has passed! Where did 2022 go?! We celebrated some big milestones, had a lot of fun, and enjoyed our family most. Here are some highlights and lessons learned from 2022.  So. Much. Swimming! Lesson learned: ALWAYS get in the water. You’ll never regret it. Your kids will love you for it and you’ll make way more memories from inside the water than up on the boat. This day was particularly special as we were all together with Uncle Dan and Aunt Pam. We swam, we ate, we boated and we didn’t want the day to end. Having mom and dad move permanently to the Lake has been the BEST.  Midcurrent MOVED! We raised the money, hired the people, decorated and paved the way for more people to get to know Jesus. Before the carpet was laid we wrote prayers on the floor and I am so excited to see what 2023 will bring for Midcurrent. Lesson learned: do the big thing! Give people a chance to show up and see what God can do! Family camp is ALWAYS a highlig...
