Prosecco Jelly Shots

I am the queen of jelly shots and every time someone has a party I am always asked to bring some along.  So when Jane asked me to make a batch for her New Year party I could not resist making prosecco jelly shots - could any thing say 'its party time' better than boozy jelly shots!

Prosecco Jelly Shots

Ingredients

1 pack of pineapple jelly

1/2 bottle of prosecco or cava

Sliced straberries

Edible gold glitter

Mini clear shot glasses

Instructions

Put the jelly cubes and a small amount of prosecco into a jug and microwave until the jelly has dissolved - leave to cool.

Once cooled top up with Prosecco and carefully pour into the shot glasses and drop in a few strawberry slices.

Refrigerate overnight.

Before serving dust with some edible glitter!

Makes about 20 jelly shots - I highly recommend doubling the recipe!

Slow Cooker Chicken Fajitas

As a working mum I find when I get home from work I have very little time to get dinner on the table and my slow cooker makes my life so much easier! - our dinner is cooking whilst I work and is ready to serve when we get home!

We love Mexican food in our house, especially fajitas but I find they can be quite time consuming to prepare so slow cooker chicken fajitas have become a favourite and they are so easy to make.

Slow Cooker Chicken Fajitas

Ingredients:
3 or 4 chicken breasts
1 red onion
2 peppers
1 lime
Fajita Kit

Directions:
Chop your red onion and peppers into strips and place half of them in the bottom of your slow cooker

On top of that place your chicken breasts and sprinkle half of the fajita season mix together with the juice of half the lime

Turn over your chicken and add the rest of the fajita mix and remaining half lime.

Add the rest of the peppers and onions

Cook on high for 3 hours or low for 6 hours.

Take out your chicken breast and dice them up

Put them back into the slow cooker and stir.  Then turn the slow cooker to the warm setting until you are ready to serve

We like to serve ours with grated cheese, salsa, guacamole and sour cream but you could add any topping you like.

And fajitas are on the table in super quick time and so easy to prepare!

What do you cook in your slow cooker? I would love to hear about your recipes.
