Slow Cooker Sweet Spicy and Short Rib Tacos

September 1, 2017

I just started going back to work from maternity leave with Hunter. Man, it’s been a rough week. Oh shoot, it’s just been 3 days. Wahhhh!!

I am thankful that starting on Tuesday has meant that it is a short week for me. Same with next week with Labor Day. Starting off slow is much better than being thrown into the deep end.

Hunter has been great but I have been a useless mess. I have sobbed driving to work every morning.

I even ditched Price on the first day by dropping off Autumn and leaving him standing at the door to Hunter’s classroom with a puzzled look on his face as I ran our through the main doors waving a frantic bye among other kids trying to get out and get on a bus. I then followed that up with a text in the car apologizing but explaining how I couldn’t go in the room. Very much like the post it that Berger left for Carrie in SATC “I’m Sorry. I can’t. Don’t hate me.”

I’m hoping for a better week next week, but lets be real, it will probably suck too. Gotta keep some realistic expectations over here.

Besides that, it’s all about adjusting to the new morning routine and how to get prepped for the day. I already had 1 issue with forgetting nipples for Hunter’s bottles and my neighbor saved the day by dropping off some at his daycare. It takes a village!

One of the things at makes life a bit easier is having dinner ready when I get home. I do love using my Instant Pot Pressure Cooker, but there is something so nice and familiar about using a slow cooker. Plus, it’s awesome to come home to a house that smells so good.

Short Ribs are my go to meat right now. I love them in tacos and in marinara sauce. Last year I shared another short rib taco recipe using a slow cooker, but I swear this one is different! I love finding new-to-me spices and ingredients so I was excited when I grabbed a bag of Chile Guajillo peppers. They are a mild to medium spiced chili that is often used in salsas, sauces, and rubs to flavor meats.

I wanted to try them with the short ribs by allowing them to flavor the meat as it cooked all day. To cut some of the heat, I used some orange juice for sweetness. And the beer is another great way to add some flavor. If you prefer, you can sub our the beer for stock as that is just as flavorful, in a different way. I think it worked out so well. yum!

Hoping you enjoy these tacos just as much as we did!

Slow Cooker Cheeseburgers

December 2, 2016

Cooking cheeseburgers in a slow cooker is an inventive way of preparing cheeseburgers. They are extra cheesy and are a fun, easy way to serve burgers to a crowd!

slow-cooker-cheeseburgers

I am really over due for a haircut. But I don’t want to get it cut.

That’s a lame predicament right there. I need to suck it up and go since my hair is looking stringy and it needs some proper attention.

Pizza Quesadillas

November 1, 2016

pizza-quesadillas

How is it November already?!?!

I can’t believe it.  I just can’t. I can’t even.

pizza-quesadillas_01

I can’t believe that Autumn will be 3 in a few weeks.

I can’t believe Thanksgiving is just a bit after that.

And then Christmas is just a few weeks away!!!! At least I have already done most of the Christmas shopping we need to do.

pizza-quesadillas_02

Being in Florida this year doesn’t make it feel like it’s November. Shoot, it’s still in the 80’s during the days. That is still beach weather. But it’s funny how it does feel cooler and crisp. I guess that is what happens when you go from the hot and humid 90’s to the drier 80’s.

Anyway, here we go with another Taco Tuesday post!

pizza-quesadillas_05 pizza-quesadillas_06

pizza-quesadillas_07 pizza-quesadillas_08

I have made pizza quesadillas for years. I even had made them using just 1 tortilla so they are like thin crust pizzas. So crisp. Regardless, pizza and quesadillas are both awesome so combining them.

Autumn didn’t want pizza quesadillas but instead she wanted plain cheese quesadillas. She then proceeded to open it up and put pepperoni in it and call it a sandwich. Then she refused to dip it in the pizza sauce until she didn’t and she was inhaling it all. #toddlers

pizza-quesadillas_09 pizza-quesadillas_10

Of course you can pick and chose whichever toppings you like best, but I think the salty pepperoni works so well with the crisp peppers and mellower mushrooms. I don’t like olives, but feel free to add them. Hawaiian pizza is my favorite, so if you like that, then give that a try.

The biggest take away from this recipe is the technique on assembling the pizza quesadillas from toasting the tortillas in the oven to filling them, and then returning them to the oven to melt the cheese. It’s super simple so you can easily change up the ingredients for the toppings you prefer. Also, you can easily double or triple this recipe to make a big batch for a large family or a party. Just make sure you have plenty of cheese!

pizza-quesadillas_03

You family will love to personalize them with their favorite pizza toppings. Getting some make something your own is so special and fun. Plus, extra delicious.

Just eat pizza quesadillas. That should just be a rule.

  3. Remove 2 tortillas, set aside for later.
  4. Add the a bit of cheese to each tortilla (approximately 1 ounce of mozzarella and a spoonful of Parmesan cheese). Add 1/4 of the veggie mixture and about 6-7 slices of pepperoni to each tortilla. Add the same amount of cheese on top of the filling.
