Slow Cooker Chicken Taco Chili

I must thank Pinterest for this recipe, as I often do. I love getting recipes off there. Slow cookers make life so much easier and keep my husband happy. This recipe was no exception. I will definitely be doing it again.


I added sour cream and cheese to the top, and it was incredible!


Slow Cooker Chicken Taco Chili
Servings: 10

1 onion, chopped
1 16-oz can black beans
1 16-oz can kidney beans
1 8-oz can tomato sauce
2 cans whole kernal corn
2 14.5-oz cans diced tomatoes w/chilies
1 packet taco seasoning
1 tbsp cumin
1 tbsp chili powder
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
chopped fresh cilantro

Combine first 9 ingredients in your slow cooker. Place chicken on top and cover. Cook on low for 10 hours or on high for 6 hours. Half an hour before serving, remove chicken and shred. Return chicken to slow cooker and stir in. Top with fresh cilantro. For added flavor (but also added calories) top with sour cream and cheese. It may be more fattening, but it tastes so good!

Breakfast Banana Split

This has become one of my favorite breakfasts. It is so quick and easy to make, it tastes really good, and it's good for you!

Ingredients:
1 ~ Banana
1/2 cup-ish ~ Cottage Cheese
2 tbsp.-ish ~ Strawberry Preserves (or any preserves of your choice)
Dash of Sea Salt
2 tbsp.-ish ~ Peanuts
2 tsp.-ish ~ Flax seeds

Take one banana and slice it in two lengthwise. Put the pieces in a dish as shown. Drop a couple of dobs of cottage cheese on it (the amount may vary depending on your taste). Dabble some preserves of your choice on top of the cottage cheese. My favorite is strawberry. Grind a bit of sea salt on top. Sprinkle a few peanuts and flax seeds on the top.

Super yummy, easy, healthy, and the flax seeds add some much needed fiber. Enjoy!

Tilapia Roll-Ups

I found this recipe in a magazine (unfortunately I cannot remember which one) that specializes in natural, whole, organic foods. My husband and stepson both used to eat very healthy, but they had gotten into a rut of eating very unhealthy. I decided I needed to find some recipes that would be healthy, yet taste good enough to make them want the healthy meal over the unhealthy one. This was the perfect recipe for that! They both loved it!

If you're seeing this shortly after I originally post it, I will not have the recipe on here yet. I am redoing my office, and some of my recipes are under a pile of things that need to be refiled. I'll get it on here soon, though. For now, here's the picture to wet your whistle.
