Salsa Verde Chicken

Sten and I have been busy these last couple weeks. Sten with Fall kick off at church and me with getting everything ready for baby. I have been trying new and easy recipes lately and have been trying to post the good ones so I remember to make them again when sleep is at a minimum.

This recipe I found on one of my favorite blogs Always Seeking Balance. I don't know where Sue got the recipe from originally, but it is a winner and a keeper for sure! Sten and I LOVED this. Sten always jokes when he likes a recipe he snaps and points his finger in the air and says- "add it to the rotation!". Then we laugh. Needless to say, I will definitely be "adding this to the rotation" because it was probably the easiest thing I've ever made.

Salsa Verde Crock pot Chicken

1 jar Salsa Verde
1 can (4oz) chopped green chiles
1/2 onion- sliced in rings
2 lbs boneless skinless chicken
___
Grease Crock pot
Pour a thin layer of salsa on the bottom of crock pot, add chicken, pour remaining salsa, onion and green chiles on top.
Cook on high 3 1/2 hours, shred chicken- return to crock pot, turn on low for remaining 30 minutes.
Serve over rice, or in tortillas.




I know this doesn't really look that appetizing, but it has SO much flavor and is really delicious. Last night we put it over rice with some cheese on top, today we put it in tortillas with sour cream. Both options were very tasty!

In other news, we found out last week our little girl is breech. It was a complete shock when the Dr. told me. I was very bummed. I really wanted to have a natural birth and I had an idea in my head of what the experience was going to be like- so I was pretty emotional. All week I have been doing all these home remedies to try to flip her around, but at our last appointment she hadn't flipped- SO we scheduled a c-section for next Friday. We are extremely excited to meet our little one no matter how she comes into the world. It was a little like God was saying, my plans are always better than yours. And I truly believe that. I feel peace about everything and can't believe in 9 days she will be in our arms. I'm so grateful for all of the friends and family who have encouraged and prayed for us this past week. Means more to me than you'll ever know.

I really hope you make this recipe! You will LOVE it!

  1. The chicken sounds tasty!
    Sorry to hear that the baby is breech. I will still be hoping that she flips around for you, but if she doesn't--it's kind of nice to know when she'll be arriving. Nolan was 9 days late, and then I had to be induced--which wasn't really ideal. I'm hoping that won't happen this time! :) Enjoy these last few days of just Erica & Sten time!

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...
