Chasing truth, beauty, goodness, and all things naturally wholistic.

Faith over fear.

Ephesians 2:8-10

 

I’ve been married to my high school sweetheart since 2003. Together, we have four amazing children, by birth and adoption. When I am not homeschooling my favorite students, I spend my days on our 7-acre property where I try my best to love my family well and experiment with hobby homesteading. My favorite things to do are cultivate my ever-expanding gardens, wrangle chickens, ferment all the things, sourdough bake with einkorn flour, and figure out new ways to use herbs and essential oils. I believe God has tasked us to be good stewards of our spaces in the world, and I guide my children to do the same.


I am a board member of The Sparrow Fund and an Empowered to Connect Facilitator. I love to dig in the dirt, cook nourishing food, capture beauty through my camera lens, watch the sunrise on the beach, and spend time with good literature on my porch while sipping on a hot cup of coffee.

Slow Cooker Creamy Jalapeno Chicken

Jump to recipe

This current school season has ushered in so many activities and sports events, I actually cannot believe how busy we’ve been given all of this Covid mess!  Truly thankful, though, for the opportunity and privilege to keep my kiddos active with social groups and sports teams.  They need  it so badly.  What a gift!  Of course, all of the commitments require a little extra planning and creativity to get dinner on the table, but it’s 100% worth the effort.

Creamy Jalapeno Chicken is one of our favorite meals, but it requires stove top cooking.  When I’m often arriving home after 6pm, it’s an issue to get this meal served at a reasonable time.  After a couple tries though, I finally converted it to a slow cooker recipe so we can enjoy it on our busy days, too.  It’s easy peasy, and truly one of our favorites.  Lots of flavor and so, so yummy served over brown or white rice.  The kids often ask for seconds.

I typically use chicken thighs, but really breast meat would work beautifully, too.  The recipe is forgiving on the amount of chicken – use what you need to feed your family.  Though if you have more than six people, I’d suggest doubling the sauce ingredients (though maybe not the dry spices, depending on how much spice your crew prefers).

Here’s how I’m preparing it in the slow cooker … hope your family enjoys it as much as mine!
