Crockpot Fajita’s – Recipe

Crockpot Fajitas

Yes I know what you are thinking … how on earth can you make fajita’s in the Crockpot.  Well I tried.  And not to toot my own horn……….B U T ……….I  succeeded!

  • 1lb of boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 2-3 onions sliced
  • 2-3 red, yellow and green peppers
  • 1 package of fajita mix

And that’s all you need. Unless you want to go a step above and beyond and make homemade hard-shell tortillas. Just put about a half a cup of oil in a pan and heat until you see small bubbles on the side. Then using tongs place half the shell in until crispy and then repeat on the other side.

Microwave Chocolate Cake

Microwave Chocolate Cake TORsAdventures

After watching a Snapchat from Ree Drummond, The Pioneer Woman,  I wanted to see if I could make a microwave cake too! I looked online and found a recipe that I thought I could manage. It can’t be too hard right? Well I’m happy that I used a bowl and not a coffee mug like it called for!

Directions
Whisk 1/4 cup flour, 5 tablespoons sugar, 2 tablespoons cocoa powder, 1 egg, 3 tablespoons milk, 3 tablespoons vegetable oil and a dash of vanilla extract and salt in a large mug until smooth. Microwave until puffed, about 2 minutes.

Uva Key West – Wine Tasting

01 Uva Key West Wine Tasting

Last Sunday my friend Erin and I attended a Zonta Fellowship event at Uva a wine shoppe here in Key West. We were able to try 7 different types of wine. 1 rose, 3 whites and 3 reds. I am not a huge fan of red wines but I did find a new white that I liked. I was actually surprised that it was less than $20 a bottle.

They do wine tastings everyday and also offer cheese and meat trays. Mark,  the owner,  was very informational and did a great job trying to wrangle our huge group of ladies. They really put a lot of time and thought into the interior of the shop. Even the counters were made from old wooden wine cases.
