Let me preface this post by saying that *normally* I meal plan by the month, so that I don't have to worry about it being 3pm and I still have no idea what to make for dinner. But I've gotten a bit off track with the pregnancy and getting ready to move, so meal planning has taken a bit of a backseat. Every once in a while when I'm not feeling inspired, I turn to Pinterest to find something that sounds good. I've made this recipe before and everyone loves it. I just throw four chicken breasts, a can of corn, a can of black beans, a can of Rotel (or diced tomatoes), and a whole block of cream cheese into the Crockpot with cumin, garlic, and onion powders and let it cook for six hours on low. I shred the chicken and let it cook for another 15-30 minutes.
I served it over brown rice with all the burrito fixin's: tortillas, cheese, tomatoes, avocado, and sour cream. Yummy and filling!
For dessert, I had some grapes and bananas that were getting towards the end of their useful life, so I decided to make a fruit salsa and cinnamon-sugar tortilla chips, which I also found on Pinterest. I diced up some grapes, strawberries, bananas, and a pear and added three tbsp. of homemade strawberry jam to make the salsa. For the tortillas, I cut the tortillas with a pizza cutter into fourths and brushed melted butter across them. I then sprinkled cinnamon sugar across the tops and baked them at 350 for about 8 minutes. They were delicious and the kids loved them!
A yummy dessert using ingredients I already had on hand.
