a recipe and a mohawk

We're back from vacation and trying to get back into the swing of things!  I want to blog about our fabulous time in San Diego, but need to finish editing my photos first.  Kason has adjusted back to Indiana time and has been catching up on all of the sleep he missed last week.  Those 3-4 hour naps are a nice break for this mama!

One of my goals once we returned was to get back to cooking.  Remember..I used to cook and have aspirations of becoming a gourmet chef.  Ok, maybe that's an exaggeration but I did want to cook more.  I did cook a lot after Kason was born but then I went back to work.  I rarely cooked anything that deserved to be blogged.  Now that I'm staying home, I'm trying to get better at planning new meals.  I'm getting together with friends next week to make a meal planning board and I'm really excited about that.  I'll be sure to share! :)

I did try a new crock pot recipe last night and it was so good.  I thought I'd share it with you!  I made this:

Slow cooker salso chicken.  It is oh so good and oh so easy!  All you need are the following ingredients:

 

You can make them into tacos but I just put the chicken on chips.  It took about 4 hours to cook and made my house smell so good!  To find the specific directions, go here!

On another note, after dinner last night Kason was a mess.  I started wiping him off and realized he had animal cracker icing all in his hair. I started to wipe it out and put his sweet blond hair into a mohawk.  I used to do it all the time when he was littler, but I haven't done it in a while.  I actually gelled it this time and can I just say...he looked so cute!  Obviously this isn't a new do by any means but I still had to share some pics!  Please ignore the giant scab on his nose.  He fell down the concrete steps on our back porch and I didn't feel the need to photoshop it out! :)

Happy Wednesday! :)
