And I’m back!

How come vacation time goes so much faster than regular time?!

So not fair!

I shouldn’t complain really should I?! Especially considering I just had an absolutely incredible 2 weeks in my all time fave city with my beautiful family.

Blessed doesn’t even begin to describe how I feel.

Blessed. Thankful. Grateful. ← Insert all of the warm and fuzzy, cute and cozy, lovey, dovey feels here.

Also feeling slightly dazed and a little confused and not entire sure where I am or what I’m suppose to be doing . . . Ah I love jet-lag, said no-one ever!

The best way to recover from the dreaded jet-lag is to get straight back into it, business as usual right?!

Right!

Although proceed with caution, we all know how clumsy and accident prone I am and as hungry as I am, I’m not really sure the kitchen is the safest place for this foggy headed lady to be – enter the slow cooker (aka crock pot/).

Oh how I love my slow cooker – what a wonderful little, time/life-saving piece of equipment it is!

It’s time to bust out your beloved slow cooker people because today we are making ourselves some all natural, quick and easy, hearty. healthy, light, fresh, seriously delicious Mexican spiced, chickpea lettuce wraps.
