I'm sure you're all extremely busy with summer activities.  I know we are.  My husband and I are both teachers and we're "off" for the summer, but we're still managing to keep ourselves occupied with lots of outings and what not with our kids.  Knowing dinner is ready when you come home and not playing the "So, what should we make for dinner?" or "Should we just go out?" game is wonderful! 

This Southwestern Shredded Chicken is extremely easy to make and packs lots and lots of flavor!  Best of all, you can use it many different ways.  You can put the chicken on top of nachos, you can put it in tacos, make burritos, or even make some cute walking tacos with it for your kids (small bags of doritos, crushed up, with all the taco toppings in the bag. Shake it up, voila!)

With the HOT weather we've been having, you'll thank yourself for not warming up your kitchen! Utililize those slow cookers!

1 cup frozen corn
