Ranch Chicken Tacos in the Crockpot

The last two days I have woken up about an hour and a half before I needed to which is rather different for me but there has been a lot on my mind. Between moving in 30 days, finding out where to move to, applying, packing, homeschooling, and working, life has been nothing short of stressful.

We put our 30 day notice in today, we are almost done applying for an apartment in Hesperia, and I still have a full list of things that have to get done. Being in quarantine doesn't help, wearing masks everywhere we go is the new normal.Yesterday was probably the worst for me. I haven't been that stressed out in a very long time. I went out and did some essential errands, went out on the porch several times to get some fresh air, life is definitely changing. Is anyone else feeling it? I'm not pregnant but it feels like it with all of my mood swings and stress lately. And I am one to eat so much food, in case you didn't know, but last night I hardly ate anything. In fact, I made these Ranch Chicken Tacos in the Crockpot and only ended up eating one. They were good so of course there is a blog post, but there weren't as many glamorous photos this time. The original recipe was found HERE. A few things were different from the original recipe. I did 2 large chicken breasts instead of 3-4, I did a whole taco seasoning packet instead of 2 tablespoons, and didn't add red onion or cilantro. If you make this, let me know how you liked it!

Ingredients:
2 large boneless skinless chicken breasts
1/2 cup water
1 packet of taco seasoning
1 packet ranch seasoning
flour tortillas, as many as you need
1/4 cup ranch dressing
coleslaw, as much as you need

Optional: cheese, avocado, tomato, cilantro

Directions:
Place chicken breasts in a slow cooker. Pour in water then sprinkle the chicken with taco and ranch seasoning packets. Cover and cook on high for 4 hours.


Shred chicken with two forks or tongs. Add 1/4 cup ranch dressing and cook for 20 more minutes. When ready to serve, fill tortillas with chicken. Top with slaw, avocado, cheese, cilantro and tomatoes or whatever ingredients you prefer. Enjoy!

Book Review and Summary - Prince Harry - "Spare"

Image
I may be one of the few, but I was intrigued by Prince Harrys' story, which prompted me to pick up his book "Spare." I have to say, as I first started reading, I couldn't put it down, I think I read 50+ pages the first day. I was aware of Prince Harry but knew very little about his life. I remember negative things in the news, all of the negative stories of him. He sounded to me like the "troubled" brother, and, unfortunately, he and everyone else believed he was. I also now understand the meaning behind the book title. The name "Spare" is a name that is described as the one that isn't important. Think of a spare tire, you are kind of pushed to the side until you are needed. As Prince Harry said, his brother was the "Heir" and he was the "Spare" and it was very unfortunate events throughout  the book that describe how and why he felt like this. He mentioned Willy (Prince William) and him were, "The Heir and the Spare. I

10 Ways to Make Parenting a Middle Schooler a Little Bit Easier

Image
My cousin and I were spending some time together a few days ago and she asked about Jace and how he was doing in school. After a few minutes, she suggested that I blog about it. Initially, I wasn't too keen on the idea, but after doing some research, I realized that parenting a middle schooler can be tough for a lot of parents (I got lucky and he is probably one of the easiest ones) at times so I decided to write down what I do to make our days better. Having a middle schooler is so different than having a child in elementary, to me. Here are 10 things that I/we have done that has really made our days easier and better together.  1. Be consistent - every morning I ask my son how he slept and when he comes home, I ask him how his day was. When we eat together as a family (2-3X per week), we each go around the table discussing our highlight of the day. If I somehow miss or forget the questions, he asks me what my highlight was or how my day was which I absolutely love.  On the same t
