Garden Soup

I made this soup for dinner tonight and it was so easy and delicious I had to share! This is one of those meals you can count on when the kids are crying and the house is a mess. There is little prep and you don't need to sit and watch the meat cook (I ran to the pet store while my chicken cooked)! 
Add your frozen chicken breasts with 2 cans chicken broth to the crock pot. Cook on low for about 90 minutes or until chicken is easy to cut. Cut chicken into small pieces, season and return to your pot! Add your uncooked noodles, frozen peas, frozen green beans and bell peppers. Really you can add any veggies in your fridge. Zucchini, onion, corn, etc. 
This soup is a clean your fridge out kinda soup! 
Once your noodles are soft, add seasonings and voila! Your soup is deliciously hot and ready for dinner. 
Healthy tips: Use whole wheat noodles and low sodium chicken broth.

Easiest Enchiladas (And Healthy....Shhhh)

This recipe is so tasty and easy, it is one of my go- to weeknight recipes. I tweaked my mother's recipe to make it a tad bit more healthy and my style. One of the first secrets to this recipe is I throw the chicken in the crock pot for a few hours while I go about my daily chores. After a few hours my chicken is prepped and ready for the enchiladas. Score! So here are the ingredients you need. 

I choose to boil my own black beans. I freeze them and use them when needed. I find them fresher, tastier and less preservatives than canned. But that is up to you! 

Preparation of these enchiladas is simple. Throw it all in the tortilla! But make sure your corn tortillas are warmed up, otherwise they will break when rolled (lesson learned)! 

Place your rolled tortillas in a casserole dish. Top with enchilada sauce, olives and cheese. Bake at 350 for 25-30 minutes. Just long enough to make sure you enchilada insides are warm. Yum! 

Top with sour cream, cilantro, salsa, avocado, etc. Seriously this recipe is so easy and delicious! We always finish the dish!
