Apparently I’m on a chicken tender kick. They are so fun and easy to customize. It is a toss up to which flavor I like better, these pizza chicken tenders or my taco chicken tenders. The chicken tender recipes could have something to do with having a two year old, too. She of course loves [...]

I’m starting with these Taco Chicken Tenders that are actually perfect for any day. My family loved these and I [...]

  I love taking an old favorite and turning it into something that is a little healthier for my family. It isn’t only good for us, but it’s a fun challenge too. And you know what? I think I like this healthier version of Chicken Cordon Bleu even better than the original fried version. Although, [...]

You all know that I believe in the mantra “everything in moderation,” and I believe in balance. In other words, you gotta have a little CHEESE with your kale. Can I get an “Amen?” This chicken and kale casserole fulfills that requirement. Plenty of cheese, plenty of pasta, but plenty of kale and lean protein too. [...]

When Kim asked me to participate in an event to raise awareness for heart disease, I knew it was something I wanted to take part in. Kim does this every year on the anniversary of her mom’s passing and I think it is such a great way to not only remember and honor her mom, but [...]

We get Lebanese carry-out a lot. More than I care to admit. We’re talking once a week, people. Usually on Sundays. But we’re working on cutting down on the carry-out to save money and be more conscientious about what we eat. Besides, now that cooking doesn’t make me want to lose my cookies, I actually [...]

I love my slow cooker. Especially since I started cleaning it in the dishwasher. HELLO. Why was I not doing that all along?!? These days, I run out of energy around 3:00. That’s assuming I start the day with any energy, which is rare. Enter reason #2 why I love my slow cooker: Dinner is [...]

I should begin by saying I never, ever, ever make chili the same way twice. I’m not one of those people who has a “tried and true” recipe or one I’m known for. My white chili? Different story. Don’t get me wrong–it’s always good (if I do say so myself), it’s just not one of [...]

I love summer and everything that goes with it, especially corn on the cob, watermelon and burgers. And potato salad. And baked beans. And everything else. I love making turkey burgers because they are healthier than their beef counterpart (don’t get me wrong–love those too!) and they are so fun to add different flavors to. [...]

Slow Cooker Salsa Chicken {Taco Slop}

March 28, 2012

My husband affectionately (?) named this dish “Taco Slop.” That’s kinda his thing. White chicken chili? Slop. 16 bean soup? Slop. Split pea soup? Green slop. Oatmeal? Slop. And this my friends, is taco slop. Perhaps it is his military background. Perhaps it is because he’s a dude. I know it sounds like he probably [...]
