Rustic Ridge Mama’s Crockpot Chicken Tacos

Tuesdays are always taco night. We get a little bored with the same beef tacos on tortillas so we like to mix things up a bit. This crockpot chicken taco recipe is so easy and quick and is so yummy!

As always I aim to use all locally grown products so our chicken is from a local farm!

You can change up how you serve this too. We usually like to serve it over rice and top with avocado, corn, tomatoes, cheese, and some taco sauce. Or you can just place it in a tortilla and add your own favorite taco toppings. Either way is it a great addition to your Taco Tuesdays!

Rustic Ridge Mama’s Meatloaf

Meatloaf is one of my all time favorite comfort foods. This is my own favorite recipe I have used for years! Of course, along with everything else you’ll see on this page I aim for simplicity and supporting local. In this recipe I use all locally owned and raised meat and eggs.

If you too want to use local meats, check with some of your local farmers or at your local farmers markets.
