This slow cooker\u00a0favorite produces steak\u00a0fajitas that are fall-apart tender and packed with Mexican flavor!<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Slow<\/p>\n

The last five days have been:<\/p>\n

Crispy bacon cheeseburgers with frizzled onions, the size of a full\u00a0moon<\/p>\n

Ancho chili dusted fries, dipped in chipotle aioli<\/p>\n

Cupcakes in flavors like\u00a0s\u2019mores and carrot cake and red velvet<\/p>\n

Buttered buttermilk pancakes<\/p>\n

Pumpkin custard pancakes swimming in molasses caramel<\/p>\n

Lasagna<\/p>\n

\"Slow<\/p>\n

Fresca<\/p>\n

Porchetta with white beans and caramelized leeks<\/p>\n

The most sincere of Philly cheesesteaks<\/p>\n

Chocolate cake wedges, four layers tall and teetering<\/p>\n

Berry pie, lattice-topped<\/p>\n

Apple pie, double-crusted<\/p>\n

anything, everything a la mode<\/p>\n

We\u2019re eccentric, my mother and I. Apart and especially together.<\/p>\n

This morning she flew from Seattle and headed back home to Boston. It feels as if she stayed only a day. In fact, I can almost still hear her whispering in my ear as we hugged a ferocious \u2018hello\u2019 outside of baggage claim, assuring me,<\/p>\n

\u201cFrancie, we\u2019ll just relax this week. Me and you. Okay, luv luvs?\u201d<\/p>\n

And just after she bleached my bathtub, replaced all my light bulbs to a new, more lovable wattage, disinfected and de-dust bunnied the surface above my fridge, insisted on higher quality, softer toilet paper, and asked me when I was going to transition to better jewelry,<\/p>\n

the sun began to dry the sidewalks and<\/p>\n

we did relax.<\/p>\n

I clung to her, 5\u20199\u201d of me glomming onto 5\u20197\u201d of her.<\/p>\n

We laughed.<\/p>\n

We ate.<\/p>\n

And ate.<\/p>\n

And so\u2026<\/p>\n

I\u2019m full.<\/p>\n

Happy and full and still digesting the deliciousness that was, and always is, my mother.<\/p>\n

Without a moment of lamenting just how much food we loved and just how much we adored every sticky finger, every stain and stomach ache,<\/p>\n

I\u2019m going back to simple and wholesome and<\/p>\n

shacking up with my slow cooker and every vegetable I know and love.<\/p>\n

These fajitas are super easy, soft and tender, and perfectly spiced. They make for a fresh, filling dinner without any fuss or fancy.<\/p>\n

Two of them made my first day without her sweet Boston accent more bearable.<\/p>\n
