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!

Dan and Pam +

 One of our favorite weeks of summer came and went: When Dan and Pam visit. This means lots of family time at Big C. Everything is a game and there are lots of laughs-- never ending fun. It always goes by so fast and it’s sad to see them go.  This year we did something super different and took a 24 hour trip to show off Duluth to Pam. J is the best trip planner and when she sent me the itinerary I knew it was going to be a good time.  Here we are in our little hostel room. I slept like a rock thanks to half a sleeping pill. Seriously. I slept over 9 hours and didn’t even wake up to go to the bathroom!  Found just a couple rocks to skip 😂  Here we are at split rock lighthouse. We were too cheap to go into the actual park and get the tour so we listened to a podcast on the way home instead haha  The fog hadn't burned off yet and it made for the most beautiful backdrop.  Perhaps the highlight for me: burrata and wine on the rocks of gooseberry falls. We ...

We had a good day with these lifetime friends of mine. PHS class of ‘04.  Linds is so good at getting everyone together. She planned this whole day and then everyone took the day off work/ got kids out of activities and sports and made the effort to see one another.  Friendship of 35 years is a true gift. I feel like these girls watched me grow up. From playing boxcar children in the basement to jr high shenanigans/ all the trips to Treasure Island to studying abroad together in Italy to visiting each others first homes/ attending weddings /welcoming in motherhood and most recently keeping up on Marco Polo I am thankful for these gals.     Recreating a picture from 7 yrs ago 😂  As we were saying our goodbyes we looked down and BURST into laughter. Must be a 40 yr old thing.  Memories upon memories with this crew.  xo. edc.   

goodbye summer 2026

I headed back to BHP today after what may have been the best summer ever. If you would have asked me a week ago if I was ready to go back I would have said no, but I think God does a good job of preparing our hearts for big changes if we allow him to, and I truly felt prepared walking into school today.  My classroom has a ways to go to be ready to welcome in students to meet the teacher night on Wednesday-- but I know I'll get there.  Routine is good, and I packed my lunch last night, laid out my clothes and after work today headed to the grocery before grilling up some chicken for dinner. I needed something to remind me that I love feeding my family well, being somewhat organized and nights at home after a day away. Here are some summer lasts: Mornings on the front porch with coffee + 1 kid + a game?!?!? THE BEST Also a LOT of Rummikub lately a Friday morning of cinnamon chip scones might be the best way to start the day family bike ride on the Brown's Creek Trail 12 miles w...
