Burrito/Taco/Salad Crock Pot Meat

Ingredients
1 lb grass-fed beef
1 can black beans (drained)
1/2 cup corn
1 small chopped onion
1/2 cup favorite salsa
1 lime
1 teaspoon cumin
Salt
Pepper

Method
Put everything in the crock pot, squeeze in lime, mix together, and set on low for 4 hours. Serve in burritos, in tacos, or on salads with avocado, sour cream, salsa, and cheese. My, oh my.

Note: I put all the ingredients in a big plastic bag the night before because that's when I had time. The next day I put everything in the crock pot around noon. Easy as pie. Easier, in fact.

Almost-Gone Hot Coco

Ingredients
2 cups any milk you like (I used 1 cup almond milk, 1 cup whole cow's milk. YUM.)
1 Tablespoon cacao powder
Sweeten with agave to taste

Method
Put everything in a small saucepan and stir the dickens out of it. The cacao powder will want to sit on the top, but a good stir will put it in its place.
Heat until hot.

Serve with socks on a cold day.

Turkey Meatball & Peppers - Crock Pot

Ingredients
1 lb Ground turkey
1 yellow bell pepper, 1 red bell pepper
1 small onion
1 can diced tomatoes
1/2 tomato sauce
1 egg
Garlic
Oregano
Salt
Pepper

Method
-MEATBALLS-
Place ground turkey in mixing bowl. Add 1 egg. Add garlic, oregano, salt and pepper. Form meatballs with hands and place in baking dish. They can either go right into the crock pot raw OR you can bake them at 375 for about 20 minutes if you want to get them cooked faster (plus they won't break as easily in the crock pot if they're cooked a bit first). I suggest baking them first.

When meatballs are cooking, chop peppers and onions- add to crock pot. Add canned tomatoes and tomato sauce to crock pot. Add some salt, pepper, oregano, and garlic. When meatballs are baked a bit on the outside, take them out of the oven and place them on top of pepper mixture in crock pot. Set on high and ignore for 4 hours.

Serve over pasta or on yummy roles with parmesan or mozzarella or both!

This will make your house smell like an Italian oasis.
I'm actually eating this as I type and it is really, really good.
