{Food Fix} Crock Pot Pork Fajitas

Lovin my Crock Pot lately.

The other day I made Pork Fajitas.

And you know me, my recipes are less like recipes and more like "a little bit of this, a little bit of that, hmm, a little more of this"

So this is how it went.

4 - 1/2 inch, bone-in Pork Chops
1/2 of an onion, chopped
1/2 of a fajita seasoning packet
 & some water
All in the Pot.
Set on High.
For about 5 hours.

In a lightly oiled sauce pan,
I sauteed,

1 green bell pepper,
a handful of sliced mushrooms and
the other 1/2 of the onion.

(It's best to sautee the veg instead of adding them to the pot so they dont become mush)

I also heated up some fat free refried beans in a separate pan.
(Adds ff volume, flavor and fiber... mmm fiber.)

Layered like so,
tortilla,
beans,
pork,
veggies,
rf sour cream.




Roll it up and take a bite!

So easy, so good!

And we even had leftovers for the next day.

{Food Fix} Sticky Buns - Take 1

I usually keep a roll of refrigerated flaky buns on hand to add to weekend breakfasts' for the kiddos or to have with din din.
But the other day I decided to try something new with them.

Sticky Buns.

So, I placed them in a zig zag pattern in a glass loaf pan that I sprinkled with a bit of brown sugar and cinnamon.



Then sprinkled more sugar, cinnamon and chopped walnuts on top.  Along with a couple very small pieces of butter. Oh, and I also drizzled some syrup on top too.

I then baked them at 350 for about 25 mins.

Sounds fool proof right?
 

Well, they didn't come out exactly how I had pictured in my head.  I was expecting them to be ooey and gooey, sweet and delish.
Instead they were only a little ooey and gooey with some sweet and some delish.

I think where I went wrong was not layering the biscuits with the sugar mixture in between them.
Had I done it that way, the "ooey gooey" I was looking for would have gone all through the biscuits making them more moist and sugary.  It probably also would've helped them cook faster preventing the dry edges that I got.

I am definitely going to try this again, in a few weeks.  Would like to have it perfect for Christmas morning.
