Do you celebrate Cinco De Mayo? Well, it’s on a Sunday this year, so if you happen to be wondering what to bring to that fiesta you’ve been invited to this weekend, here you go! At the same time, if you’re looking for a quiet night at home, and don’t feel like joining in on the party… ALSO, HERE YOU GO! Don’t you just love crockpot recipes? You really can’t go wrong.

Cilantro is wonderful for helping the body detox, it also helps with heavy metal chelating! Black beans are packed with protein, fibre. Bone broth has protein, proline, and glycine to help strengthen the gut lining. Tomatoes contain potassium, vitamin C and vitamin A.

It’s also really easy to package all ingredients except broth and cream, and freeze for a really quick crockpot freezer meal!
