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.

Gluten-Free Gingersnap Cookies
These gluten-free gingersnaps are the best cookies I've ever made, and I might even go as far as to say they are my new favorite cookies of all time! They are made with nut, oat flour, and pack a serious flavor punch — thanks to tons of spices and fresh ginger! When I think about the perfect cookie, I think it's crispy on the outside and soft inside. These are exactly that!
