Anyway, that's not the point of this post. The point is I am going to be really busy this fall (9 hours of class, working 30+ hours a week and studying for a comprehensive exam to graduate) and I need more easy, quick recipes.
So that is where you come in. My readers. My thousands of readers :) Do you have any awesome, quick, staple recipes that you make? I have a few that I want to share, but I want to know more that I could possibly make this fall. Do you have any quick or easy recipes you swear by?
I will leave you with an easy recipe Eric and I recently tried for the first time:
Fiesta Chicken
6-ish frozen chicken breasts
1 can rotel
1 can black beans
1 can corn
8oz cream cheese
Throw it all together in a crock pot and cook 6-8 hours, stirring occasionally. Chicken will easily shred and combine with other ingredients.
Fiesta chicken can be served a variety of ways. Over chips with extra cheese for nachos. Over rice. In a tortilla for a burrito. All are delicious.

You know we are crock pot fans!!! Really takes the work out of fixing a big meal! Can't wait to try your recipe... sounds great! Roast, soups, and any meat cooked along w/veggies, an assortment of spices, cream of chicken,mushroom, or celery will always turn out great as well!

Very similar recipe (cut down for us with leftovers to freeze) :)
ReplyDelete2 frozen chicken breasts
1 can salsa
1 can diced green chilis
Crock pot on low all day. Can be served in tacos, burritos, quesadillas. I then freeze the leftovers and one day when I don't feel like cooking throw it back into the crock pot on low for about 2 hours to thaw. Two fast meals in one :)
I also love love love this cookbook for quick, healthy meals:

and by can of salsa I meant jar
ReplyDeleteWe must be reading each other's minds! That's why I've been posting those 'simple/easy/cheap recipes' ... so I'd get a collection going for myself. I'm thinking with a new baby, they will be necessary. :) I can't wait to try this one!
ReplyDeleteHere's a really great, easy recipe:
ReplyDeleteOpen a can of tuna, drain, scrape into a bowl.
Dollop some mayo and pickle relish into the tuna.
Stir.
Serve with wheat thins.
People always rave when I serve this at dinner parties.
