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.

Stuffed Pork Tenderloin
I came up with this stuffed pork tenderloin with spinach and mushrooms one day when looking for something new to do with pork. This dish is very easy to make and assemble and is so pretty to serve to family and guests. I like to serve this with a nice salad and roasted potatoes.
Fiesta Tater Tot Casserole
We invented this recipe one night after one of us wanted Tater Tot casserole for supper, while the other wanted Mexican...It's super easy and super yummy! Baking the Tater Tots before layering may be unnecessary but we wanted to make sure they had a chance to crisp up. The whole family loved this dish! Hope you do too!
French-Style Apple Rhubarb Cake
Made with a very thick vanilla batter, this rustic French dessert cake is simplicity at its best! Chunks of rhubarb are mixed in, and apple slices and sliced almonds are laid right on top. Rhubarb itself is a bit sour, but it makes for the perfect combination with this light and tasty cake. In French, this type of cake is called a 'Gateau Vite Fait' which basically means it can be quickly made!
