Crockpot Chicken Tacos

The first few months of motherhood have been about easy meals for me and Farmer Doc. The crockpot has featured prominently in our meal planning (or lack thereof) since October. These Crockpot Chicken Tacos are the perfect recipe – it takes less than 5 minutes to prep, and then you can walk away and forget about it until you’re ready to eat! (Thanks to my good friend Dani for this easy meal idea!)

Verizon Wireless G’zOne Phone

Farmer Doc had the chance to test drive this Casio G’zOne phone from Verizon Wireless. This is a rugged, nearly indestructible phone as-is, without an extra case. Because it doesn’t need a protective case to keep it safe from the occasional drop, Farmer Doc was much happier with the size of this phone.

Crockpot Chicken Pot Pie

Are you looking for some easy comfort food to keep you warm and toasty during this arctic cold snap? Who isn’t? This crockpot chicken pot pie definitely fits the bill!

This recipe is slightly adapted from a recipe in one of my all-time favorite crockpot cookbooks – Gooseberry Patch’s “Slow Cooking All Year ‘Round”.

Baby Doc has no snooze button

Seriously. I’ve been looking for one!


At one month old, Baby Doc was still pretty floppy. We plunked him down for this picture, and then had to worry about him toppling over. In November, he was still getting up 2-3 times a night. Ick. Luckily for me, Farmer Doc was helping out. We alternated middle-of-the night Baby Doc duty, so neither of us got too ridiculously exhausted.
