Crock Pot Chicken Taco Chili


Crock Pot Chicken Taco Chili

This recipe was easy, but we expected it to have a lot more flavor.

I was actually concerned that it would be too spicy as I used both the taco blend that you make (I actually use this for all taco seasoning needs) as well as the chili powder and cumin as I was in a rush to get this into the crock pot before I left for work this morning and did not pay full attention to the instruction that advised to use one or the other.

I think that when I have as a leftover, I'll add some plain Greek yogurt for creaminess and some sliced jalapeƱos for spice.

It was easy, though.















































Enjoy with a nice glass of Rodney.

Skillet Chicken Bulgogi

To be totally honest, Meredyth did not cook tonight. Meredyth measured and prepped, but Tony cooked while I sipped a nice glass of Pinot Noir (go ahead and picture TItus Andromeda dancing around).

Tony chose this recipe which turned out to be really tasty.

We served with White Basmati Rice (Mahatma brand).

We followed the recipe closely- my guess is that he used more onion than the recipe called for but otherwise, I was in charge of measuring, so I can attest to the accuracy of the measurements.

I will say that we added a very non-specifically measured 2 handfuls of matchstick carrots in the final 3-5 minutes.

Otherwise, I didn't even double the sauce. What is going on here?

Enjoy with a nice Pinot Noir.

Crawfish Monica

A few weeks ago, somebody I know posted on her Facebook page that she was making Crawfish Monica. My mouth has been watering since then.



So, I found this recipe...





Crawfish Monica



Note, this ingredient list does not mention that you need green onions. You do. Interesting tidbit, there is a shortage at this time. None to be found at the 2 grocery stores closest to me. So, I improvised with a yellow onion.































































































































































Perfection.



Enjoy with a nice white wine. Dry, not sweet.











Update: I would recommend using half a pound of pasta instead of a full pound. This way you get more crawfish and more sauce in each bite.

Roasted Rosemary Chicken with Potatoes

We made this recipe a few weeks ago. It is so easy and the calories are low.

Roasted Rosemary Chicken with Potatoes

The recipe calls for 4 chicken breasts. I found only really large ones at the local grocery store, so I opted for two. I added 5 minutes to the cooking time.

As with the first time, this tasted great AND yielded more than enough chicken and potatoes for lunch tomorrow.
