What's For Dinner Sunday...

Pictured My Famous (ha) Spaghetti and Meatballs

I have found so many benefits to these Sunday menu's...cooking has become fun again,, grocery shopping is easier and is actually saving us money, we are trying lots of new fun meals.  Last weeks favorite meal was the Asian Marinated Flank Steak...it was so, so good...and easy.  It will be making lots of repeat performances in our weekly menus!!:)

This week on our menu...

Monday: Herb Stuffed Pork Loin and Sweet Potatoes...(this was on our menu a couple weeks ago but never got made)

Tuesday: Chipolte Chicken (Thanks for my Friend Jennifer) Recipe below...

Wednesday: Crock Pot Chicken Breasts A'L Orange

Thursday:  Triplet Mama Thursday!!  Leftovers for the family...

Friday: Asian Roll Lettuce Wraps

Saturday: We're having some friends over for dinner...I"m thinking Mexican....Fajitas and Margaritas!!

Sunday: Beef and Noodles


Chipolte Chicken

14 oz can Rotel
15 oz can kidney or black beans (rinsed and drained. Since I doubled recipe, I used one can of each.)
1/2 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp dried, crushed oregano
1/4 tsp black pepper (or to taste)
1 pound boneless skinless chicken breast
3/4 cup canned chicken broth
tortillas
Reduced fat shredded Mexican style cheese (or your choice cheese)

Put rotel, beans, chili powder, salt, oregano, and pepper in crock pot. Stir well. Add chicken and broth. Cover and cook on low all day. Late in day, when chicken is done, take chicken out and shred with forks then put back in crock pot. Before serving, scoop out most of liquid from crock pot. (I left just a little but not too much or else your burrito is runny.)

Get low calorie large size tortillas and make some white rice. Fill warm tortilla with rice, then chicken mixture, and add salsa, sour cream or guacamole, and salt/pepper to taste. Yummy!
