I searched high and low for a great chicken fajita recipe that I could make in a slow cooker before I came up with this. The best part for me is that I don't have to defrost the chicken before I throw it in there. Also, this makes a very large batch, so it's good for big families or a crowd of guests.

Oh My Gosh Muffins
These muffins are delicious -- they are my uncle's recipe. Since I was born until I was ten or eleven I would have one of these muffins with breakfast every morning. They have just the perfect amount of everything, light and sweet. Then I learned to bake them myself and have been ever since. It's also a good way to use up bananas that are somewhat past their best days.
