CrockPot Black Bean Chicken

16oz jar of Salsa

2 large chicken breast

1 can pinto beans, drained

1 can black beans, drained

1 can corn, drained

1 can Rotel, undrained

Spray a large crock-pot for easy clean-up. Put the black beans, corn and half of the salsa in the bottom of the pot. Put the chicken in next (frozen is fine). Top with pinto beans, Rotel and rest of salsa. Cook on low all day or high for 3-4 hours. When chicken is cooked, remove from crock-pot and shred with two forks. Put shredded chicken back into crock-pot and mix with other ingredient thoroughly.

Serve over chopped lettuce with tomatoes, sour cream, cheese and tortilla chips. This can also be served over rice or rolled up in tortillas. Yields about 8 cups.

( I used frozen corn and I don’t like to use can beans, so I prepare my beans first and then use in the recipe.)

I also double this recipe for my family and to have left overs  for the next days lunch.

Don't you love that picture? Just a simple way of life.....

That is what I have been up to. Just a simple way of life. I have been here at HSB visiting around and checking on friends, old and new, but just had nothing to post about here on my blog.

We are some-what on our way to a summer break, but really, what is a "summer break" ? DO you feel like you are on "break"?  We don't. There is so much to do, work or fun alike. But, for what the world calls it, we are on a "small Summer break" !!  There I said it...........

As far as homeschooling, we homeschool all year round. We don't have to, but it just works out that way. We like it and so, why change it. SO that brings us to where we are right now. We are doing some school work, but on a very relaxed schedule. If we do not have somewhere to go, I let the girls sleep in and then we do a little bit of school work. I mean, there is not need to just sit around and stare at each other.

We are already having some HOT temps around here !! This whole week we will be above 90 !! So, we have a lot of time in the house in the middle of the day. What is good is that around late afternoon, early evening, there is still some wind blowing, and we are able to go outside to find something to do.

Well this is enough about nothing for now. I have a few other things to post about that I will take time to do later today.
