SUPER EASY CHICKEN CROCK POT MEAL



 SUPER EASY SANTA FE CHICKEN FOOD PREP 
IDEA ONLY 4 INGREDIENTS



SANTA FE CROCK POT CHICKEN
On any given Sunday I have some type of chicken cooking in my crock pot. I feel it's the easiest way to cook 5 lbs of chicken for the week, set it and forget it. The crock pot has saved me many times and it's essential to Food Prep if you want great results with achieving your goals. 

Before I started my journey it was a lot of fast food and not many home cooked meals. I was just too lazy to cook and wanted food fast ans NOW. A few years back one of my cousins suggested Italian crock pot beef. I decided to try chicken with it instead, I'm not much of a beef eater...but I do enjoy a steak every now and then.

4 INGREDIENTS THAT'S ALL



INGREDIENTS
  • 5 LBS FROZEN CHICKEN BREAST
  • 1 CAN NO SALT ADDED DICED TOMATOES
  • 1 BOTTLE LAWRY'S SANTA FE CHILI MARINADE
  • 1 T. FAT LOUIES GARLIC OLIVE OIL

POUR 1/2 CAN OF TOMATOES IN THE BOTTOM OF THE CROCK POT, WITH 1/2 BOTTLE OF THE MARINADE

PLACE THE FROZEN CHICKEN THE POT ANS POUR THE REMAINDER OF THE TOMATOES ANS MARINADE OVER THE CHICKEN. LASTLY DRIZZLE 1 T. OF GARLIC OIL OVER THE TOP.

COOK ON HIGH 4-5 HRS OR LOW 8-10 HRS. ALWAYS CHECK THE INTERNAL TEMPERATURE WITH A FOOD THERMOMETER, THEY RECOMMEND 165F. 

ONCE IT REACHES THAT TEMPERATURE I DRAIN THE JUICE AND PLACE IT IN A SEPARATE BOWL FOR SHREDDING. I USE 2 FORK TO SHRED THE CHICKEN AFTER IS COOLS DOWN A BIT, THEN STORE IT IN THE SAME BOWL. IT WILL LAST A WEEK BUT SOMETIMES I WILL FREEZE HALF OF IT IF I'M HAVING ANOTHER MEAT THAT WEEK ALSO. 

ENJOY THE FLAVOR IS FANTASTIC.

Banana Pancake Recipe
Pancake Ingredients:
1 Banana
2 Lg eggs
Chocolate topping:
1 T Organic Coconut Oil
2T Organic Dark Chocolate mini chips made with Stevia

Other Toppings:
Vanilla Greek Yogurt, Organic Coconut, and Organic Raspberries
Pancakes:
Cut up the bananas into 1 inch slices, crack 2  eggs into the bowl and mash them with a hand blended. literally takes 1 min. Depending on banana size sometimes I will add 1 heaping T. of organic coconut flour to thicken it up.


Fry them up on medium heat in 1 T. of Organic coconut oil. flip them when you see bubbles around the edges. Remember they are mock pancakes so the texture is different, it takes them a little longer to cook and they're not as fluffy. Set aside.
 
Chocolate topping:
Take 1 T. of chips and oil and add them to  a coffee cup and heat in the microwave for 30 seconds at a time. remove cup and stir chips. Keep doing this until you notice that its starting to melt, then add more chips and repeat. you need to be careful because chocolate burns quickly, so make sure you stir it a lot. Once its melted add it directly to the corner of a sandwich baggie. Squeeze it all to the corner twist the bag and snip the tip off to drizzle the chocolate mix.
What to Do:
The rest is pretty simple. Add a container of vanilla Greek yogurt on top of the pancakes,top with raspberries and coconut. Then Drizzle the Chocolate mix in a back and forth horizontal pattern. Walla! Now you have a breakfast that looks like it stepped out of a Culinary magazine and it tastes totally delicious. Enjoy!

TOP 5 FREE PHOTO EDITING APPS-(REVEALED)



Ever wonder how the HECK does she get her pics to look like that?! It's NO shocker that a lot of my photos are edited, it allows me to express myself and get extremely creative. I've been asked what types of Apps have I been using by so many Coaches and friends that I decided to blog about it and show you exactly what I'm using. Let the fun begin....

MY TOP 5 REVEALED



 
 
The best picture editing Apps that I found are PicsArt, Fotor, Moldiv, Decopic, and Phonto. Most of these are user friendly and offer tutorials to help you along.
 
 
 


PICSART is a little more challenging to operate especially from a small phone....But its the BEST out there for complete photo editing. One shop stop, it does everything! It's very similar to PicMonkey but it doesn't have as many options. It's a little time consuming at first, but once you get the hang of it you can create some very beautiful and inspiring pictures.

SAMPLES OF PICSART




PICSART has a tons of different tools, filters, borders, shape masks, frames, you can add other photos, use clip art, add text, and create virtually anything.

FOTOR is another Awesome App. I mainly use this one for ease of many filter choices. If I'm trying to create a certain look or feel, I will use this one first. I'm a big fan of vintage black and white photos. To me they look timeless and classic.

MOLDIV is my go to App for quick and easy collages. I think I paid $1.99 to receive access to all of them. It's well worth it, I like a large variety of collages. This App is probably the easiest to use, I can knock out a collage in under 2 min. It doesn't have filters, but you can change border colors, text, and adjust the frame. The number one reason why I use this App so much, it has built in stroke options. It will make you text stand out from your pictures. Saaweet!

DECOPIC is a super FUN App. I get my BLING from here lol. A girl has to have some bling in her life =). This App has a lot fun stamps to add to your photos. It also has frames, skin whitening, and many built in templates to choose from incase you don't feel like being that creative. The templates are pretty cool, you just add your pic and WALLA.

PHONTO is a great App that offers many, many styles of fonts. The FAMILY Vacation image below was edited with a Fotor filter, fonts with Phonto and I added sparkles with Decopic. The Red Velvet Shake is an example of the fonts they have.
 I'm a very visual person and have utilized all of these Apps to create one picture. Time consuming YES.. but I will take the extra time to create that look that I have envisioned in my head. I'm kind of a perfectionist that way. I know BAD right?! Not at all, it means I take pride in my work and I'm not going to post something just to post it.. If you cant see it (too dark or blurry), it's not visually appealing or doesn't add value, this girl WON'T post it. No way!

I would say that a majority  of my pictures comes from mobile Apps, I hope this sheds some light on the many photos that I create and you find this helpful. If you have any questions please comment below and I will try to answer them the best that I can. I'm very excited to see what everyone comes up with. Please feel free to tag me in your posts or use #TOPSECRET so I can find them. LETS GO!! EXPRESS YOURSELF!!!
