So, it's the end of the month and I'm trying very hard to only buy groceries that we absolutely need. Plus, I need to clean out the fridge and freezer every once in a while. So, here's tonight's dinner...
1 jar (16 oz) Corn & Black Bean Salsa (I bought mine at the Pepper Palace at Broadway at the Beach)
1 c chicken broth
1 lb cooked chicken (I cooked mine in a skillet with a little bit of olive oil)
1 can (14.5 oz) stewed tomatoes
1 1/2 c cooked brown rice
Mix all ingredients in slow cooker. Cook on low for about 4 hours.
So, it turned out a little thicker than I would have liked but the girls loved it. More like Taco Stew than Taco Soup. Next time I will probably leave out the brown rice. We added shredded cheddar cheese and crushed tortilla chips. You could also add sour cream, if you wish.
Tomorrow will be "clean out the fridge night" at the Lee house. I think I've cooked every night this week so we have lots to choose from - breakfast casserole, pork tenderloin, taco soup and gnocchi with spinach and sundried tomatoes.
All these leftovers remind me of the time that a child of one of our neighbors told his dad that he liked eating at our house because our leftovers were better than their regular dinners. Makes me smile but what a compliment.
Not sure what this weekend's menu will include but I am sure I'll be posting another recipe soon. The weather is supposed to be beautiful - close to 60 and sunny both Saturday and Sunday. Chances are good that we'll be grilling something. Hmmmm - maybe grilled pizza???
