Slow Cooker Salsa Chicken

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (frozen is fine)
1 cup salsa (I used homemade salsa but could use jar)
1 can condensed cream of chicken soup
1 packet taco seasoning (I used a scoop or two from a large Costco jar)
1/2 cup sour cream (I used greek yogurt instead)
tortillas


Place chicken in the bottom of your slow cooker. Sprinkle taco seasoning on chicken. In a bowl, combine soup and salsa. Pour over chicken. Cook on high 4 hours. Shred chicken with two forks and stir in sour cream. Serve on tortillas or as desired.

Toffee Dip with Fruit


My friend made a simply delicious fruit dip for our Super Bowl party tonight.

Ingredients:
1 block of cream cheese (light is okay but not fat free)
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 tsp vanilla
1 bag toffee pieces (you can find them by the chocolate chips)

Fresh fruit (in slices or chunks)

Directions:
Mix together and serve with sliced fruit.  She served it with apple slices, strawberries, and pineapple chunks.  When we ran out of fruit I put out some graham crackers with it and that was yummy too.

It is addictive so watch out.
