Slow Cooker Steak Fajitas #MultiCookerMonday

These steak fajitas are cooked in the slow cooker and then do a quick broil for color and texture before being sliced and returned to the pot for serving.  It is a great way to free up time, especially if having a fiesta and feeding a crowd.

It's time for Multi-Cooker Monday.......

Lots of Family Time, Pork Fajitas and the Weekly Menu

We were blessed to have our second daughter, Nicole, over for lunch on Tuesday to celebrate her birthday.  Her birthday isn't until Sunday but she is the manager of a popular restaurant and since Michigan has been allowed to partially re-open, she is going to be busy.  We were pleased that she spent her only day off with us this past week.

Since it was Taco Tuesday I cooked up some Pulled Pork Fajitas that I am sharing with you today.  They were delicious.  The fresh mango topping was a breath of the tropics in February.  We normally are on a dive trip during February so I am craving and cooking foods that take me away.......

On Sunday we are having Jessica, Julien and Melody over for dinner.  Jessica has an early appointment on Monday so Melody is going to spend the night here. 

On Friday we are celebrating Chinese New Year.   2021 is the Year of the Ox.  That includes 1973, the year of Amy's birth, so the celebration is extra special this year.  Here is our Menu for this fun feast......

And here is the menu for the week....Do you celebrate Chinese New Year?  What is your favorite dish to serve?   You will find the Pulled Pork Fajita recipe following the Weekly Menu.......
