Minneapolis taverns are famous for serving a sandwich called the Jucy Lucy, a moist beef burger stuffed with American cheese. Now, learn how to make it.

This looks just delightful.

In Boston…

Until Friday for a wonderful professional conference.  I even had the opportunity to showcase my research tonight, which was very exciting. Plus, I love Boston and had so much fun when I was here last summer with Slip. Perhaps more important than the conference? My tasty to-do list (short and sweet):

Gotta love Philadelphia for: urban gardens and around town murals. This one snapped today next to one of my favorite locales for coffee and a treat, Cake and the Beanstalk, on Locust Street.

Really craving a cupcake. I had a sweet potato cupcake with cinnamon cream cheese frosting today from Brown Betty and it was soooo good. Reminded me of the last time I had a yummy cupcake from there…

I’m so excited to go to a Night Market for the first time tomorrow! With over 40 vendors, there will be offerings of tasty foods for under 5 bucks a pop.  Luckily I’ll be with friends which means I can increase my tastings!
Night Market has taken place in different neighborhoods all over Philly, and tomorrow night will be in Northern Liberties, on 2nd Street stretching from Fairmount St. to George St. I can’t wait!

Crock Pot Winner: Chicken Tacos

Today I tossed a few things in the crock pot— 5 ingredients to be exact— and made the easiest, and one of the tastiest, dinners we’ve had in a while. I found this recipe on Pinterest and have seen it circling some of the food blogs. My schedule has been crazy busy lately (hence the lack of posting), but this could be easily made any night of the week.  I highly recommend it!

Crock Pot Chicken Tacos

Add ingredients to the crock pot.  Fill empty salsa jar halfway with water and add to crock pot.  Give a little stir to mix in taco seasoning.  Cook 4-6 hours on high or 6-8 hours on low. When chicken is done it will shred easily with 2 forks.

How easy was that?!

When chicken is done, create your tacos with some cheese, sour cream, lettuce, guacamole, etc. You could also use this chicken for enchiladas, burritos, or just eat it plain— it is that delicious!
