Chicken Taco Soup

Found this recipe online and tweaked it to be lower calorie, and family friendly. It is so delicious! Scarlett inhaled her bowl, so even your kids will love it! This is a slow cooker recipe.

3 6 to 8 Oz chicken breast(boneless skinless)
1 can chilli beans
1 can whole kernel corn (drained)
1 can tomato sauce
2 cans diced tomatoes
1 12 Oz beer
1 package of taco seasoning

In crock pot mix chilli beans, corn, tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, beer and taco seasoning well. Place chicken breast on top and push down lightly until covered by mix. Cook on low for 5 hours. Remove chicken, allow to cool and shred. Then mix the shredded chicken back into the crock and cook an additional 2 hours. Serve and enjoy.

Makes 8 (1 3/4 cups) servings
245 calories
26 grams protein

I also added 2 tablespoons of sour cream, and 1/4 cup shredded cheese. Totaled
360 calories and was super yum! Also dipped a few veggie chips in it!

Enjoy!

    I cooked it on low for 7 hours. At about 5 hours I pulled the chicken out and shredded it, then let it cook an additional 2 hours. And you're very welcome!

Feelings Never Change

It has been almost 2 years since we held you last. The reality hit me like a truck this afternoon... I miss you just as much right now as I did 2 years ago. My body aches to feel you again. To see your smile. To kiss your fat face. They ache just as strongly now as they did 2 years ago. The pain hasn't lessened, the longing hasn't passed...and I still think it is not fair that I can't leave work and pick you up for a fun filled weekend. Time hasn't healed any of our wounds. They still seep with longing, pain, and emptiness. I can still envision the nightmare facing us at the end of the hallway at the hospital. Your tiny frame in a massive bed hooked to so many life saving devices. The incredible high of hearing your heart was beating; they'd revived you. Thinking there was a chance; only to be told that there wasn't. She had hurt you more than they could fix. That incredible low of knowing you wouldn't get to go home with us ever again. I can s

Chobani, Bondi Bands, Allergies ...Oh My!

So recently I have had the amazing privilege and joy of trying out a couple of awesome products. I cannot wait to share either! GIVEAWAY TIME! I received a case of Chobani Flips to review...and as we all know yogurt is a staple in most healthy diets...especially mine. I have been a Chobani nut for over a year now. It is one of my favorite and most filling snacks, not to mention the protein ! It is a quick and easy breakfast if needed, or an awesome post-workout snack. And now that it is summertime it is super refreshing on a hot summer day! There were so many yummy types to try...and I could not wait to dig in! There were two of each, so 12 in total! They are fair in calories, low in sugar, and taste great. The day I got the case I did a little jig, and then hunted down a spoon. The first flip I sampled was the Almond Coco Loco ...                           IT WAS DIVINE!!!...and my favorite! Second to that was the Key Lime Crumble ! I have eaten all of them but

Tax (Heart) Break

It's tax season again, and I sat down tonight and began working on my taxes. As I was working through the dependents questions, one hit me right in the heart. The question asks if you had a child die the year before. You don't give that question much thought if you have never been to a child's funeral. That question made me stop and think about how fortunate I am to select no. And how not all of us are quite so lucky. The guilt that ate as me, when I selected no, knowing that a year ago my sister had to select yes. It has been almost a year since Nora was arrested for the 1st Degree murder of my nephew John. If you know us, you know all too well what happened to our baby. If not, you can scan back through several of my other blogs and get a pretty good representation of the nightmare our family has been living in.
