Slow Cooker Taco Chicken

Ah tacos. So wonderful. So delicious. So not good for the budget if you're always ordering them as take out! (Guilty as charged) So how do we save some dollars? We make our own tacos! And it all starts with the meat. This is an easy recipe for taco style chicken inspired by a coworker but with a few of my own kicks. If you don't have time to make my Mexican spice blend you can use a packet of taco seasoning. Toss it in the slow cooker and let it come together on its own!

Mango Salsa Chicken

I know I've said it before but I'm going to say it again - chicken should never, ever, EVER be boring! A healthy dinner does not equate to a boring dinner. My mango salsa chicken is inspired by the Del Monte recipe for mango salsa - with a few tweaks to give it more of a punch. This dish pulls together delicious and beautiful fruits and veggies for a colorful and fabulous meal. Make it and freeze it for later or have everyone round for dinner! Enjoy!

Naked Chicken Enchiladas

Enchiladas. We all love them. At least I do. And while making them once in a while is fun, the 2 hours spent prepping, chopping, cooking, mixing, wrapping, and baking is not always feasible. And the heavy overload of carbs and cheese is not always feasible either! Since the inside of the enchilada is where all the goodness is happening, this recipe just focuses on that - saving time and calories but never sacrificing flavor (courtesy of my Mexican Spice Blend - link included below). Enjoy!

Berry Walnut Salad

Time for another goodness filled salad to fit your budget! Recently I was out with my cousins picking blueberries...and we went a little overboard! So after freezing a pound, (and snacking on a pound on the plane ride back to the twin cities!), I wanted to experiment with a blueberry vinaigrette - which means I needed a salad to go with it!
