Mexican Chicken

Since Marley's about to start kindergarten and life is getting back into a routine I've started making more dinners instead of just heating something up at the last minute.  This recipe turned out pretty good, and probably would of been really good on some taco shells too.


1 pound boneless chicken breasts 
1 teaspoon taco seasoning mix
Salt, to taste 
1/2 cup enchilada sauce 
4 ounces cheddar cheese, shredded 

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Sprinkle the chicken on both sides with taco seasoning. Cut the chicken into cubes and place in a bowl. Add the enchilada sauce and toss to coat the chicken. Pour into square baking dish. Sprinkle the cheese over the chicken and bake at 350ยบ for 25-30 minutes, until hot and bubbly and chicken is no longer pink.

Back for another week of InstaFriday hosted by Life Rearranged

I'm growingto4 if you want to follow me


Mason has been brushing his hair lately, it's so cute. 

We went to Jak's Warehouse the other night. It was a lot of fun and we didn't even do 
everything they had there. 

He's also been doing this lately too.

Cotton Candy Salad

This past weekend we had a small family get together with my cousins from my dad's side of the family.  I made veggie pizza which I've made before and tried out a new recipe for cotton candy salad.



1 can eagle brand milk
2 cups crushed pineapple, drained well
1 can strawberry pie filling
1 can cherry pie filling
12 oz. tub cool whip


Fold/Mix all ingredients together in a bowl. Chill and serve. 



It didn't taste like cotton candy really, but it was still pretty good. I wonder if you could add those frosting cotton candy flavor packets to give it the right flavor?

Crock pot Italian Lemon Chicken

I've had this recipe on my pinterest board for a while, but it just got thrown together at the last minute one night. It was pretty good too so that's always good. 


4-6 chicken breasts, boneless & skinless
1 packet of italian dressing mix
butter
lemon juice


Put cube of butter in bottom of crock pot.  Lay chicken in and sprinkle with italian dressing packet.  Drizzle lemon juice over top. Cover and cook on high 4-5 hours or low 6-8 hours. 



This was pretty good. It had a lot of italian dressing flavor though.  Perhaps next time, I'll mix the lemon juice and italian dressing powder together then pour over the chicken.
