It’s time to get back to cooking for me. My family has been eating way too much fast food and pizza! It’s easy to get out of the habit of cooking on a regular basis when you’re busy, isn’t it?
Well, since I’m the girl who’s halfheartedly trying to stay on a diet, I figured I should find some low carb recipes to try. I’m half-hearted after my trip to Colorado this month. I had a great time living it up, and now I’m having a horrible time finding the “want-to” again. I’m pulling out My Weight Loss Success Plan again this week and reading through all those quotes and Scripture cards to hopefully get my butt back into gear. Also, I’m going to be using my goal worksheets and my meal planning worksheets, too.
About this recipe. I love chicken fajitas, so I thought this would be a fun one to try. The house smelled AMAZING while it was cooking! If your kids don’t like green, red or orange peppers, it won’t be a kid pleaser. Most of mine do like them though…so we were good! I think one of them made a ham sandwich, and I was OK with that. It gave me more to eat, LOL. And, yes, our crockpot was empty by the end of the night. Some people went back for seconds…. (shhh…not mentioning any names).
