I will not claim to be the best in anything, especially cooking and baking. I am just your average person with a passion to cook, bake and do crafts. I call it, "Going to my happy place!" There's nothing more enjoyable than making an awesome meal or dessert or card for friends and family. So that is what I will do: post recipes and how-tos for crafts. I hope you enjoy!

Easy Mexican!
I LOVE Mexican food and I love trying other's recipes. While a recipe may sound good on paper, it doesn't always turn out that way. One of my favorite things to do is try and tweak others recipes. Tonight I made Slow Cooker Cilantro Lime Chicken and Chipotle's Cilantro Lime Rice. The flavor in the chicken in bold and delicious. The rice seemed to balance the meal perfectly.
I tweaked the rice just a bit by adding one tablespoon butter to the oil mixture. It tasted fairly similar to Chipotle's. My boyfriend and I were thinking the type of rice makes a huge difference because the texture was off but the flavor was just right. All in all, it's a good recipe and I would probably make it again. It cooked the rice perfectly! I put shredded Monterey Jack and Sour Cream on top of my chicken as well.
