Slow Cooker Steak Fajitas | Simmer & Sew

If you have been following me on Instagram, you know that a few weeks ago I did something out of the ordinary, I skipped out on my weekday chores and headed out of town to visit a sewing friend for the day. That’s right, I totally played hooky and it felt so good!! Now granted I was able to toss my Slow Cooker Steak Fajitas recipe into the pot before leaving which meant dinner was all set.

Fast forward to the following week and I did it again. Only instead of heading out of dodge, I spent the day sewing and it was heaven! Having dinner options like this allow me to sew up a storm guilt free no matter what day of the week it is.

So, I thought that maybe you would like a few new recipes to add to your line up and we could sew together.  I’ll do my best to share a new slow cooker recipe each month along with a few project sneak peeks on my cutting table and we can stitch the day away without a care in the world.
