Wrap up and start eating!

 

 

 

 

 

SPINACH APPLE SALAD WITH BALSAMIC

Spinach
3 apples, diced (I used Pink Lady)
Sliced almonds
Craisins
Shredded parmesanDressing:
3/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup white balsamic vinegar
juice of 1 lemon (not a huge one)
1 Tbs. honey
salt/pepper to taste

 

 

*Toss the salad using as many toppings as you like.  Mix up the dressing really well and drizzle over salad right before serving.  We don't like a ton of dressing so we didn't use all of it.  Just drizzle to your liking.

 

 

 

CROCK POT CHICKEN TACOS

 

 

 

4-5 chicken breasts (mine were frozen)

salt/pepper/garlic powder

1/2 of an onion, diced

1 (4oz.) can green chilies

2 tomatoes, diced

taco seasoning

 

 

*Put chicken breasts in crockpot and season with salt, pepper and garlic powder.  As much as you like.  Put about an inch of water in the bottom and cook on low for 4-5 hours.  Take out chicken and shred up with a fork.  Drain water out of crockpot and put chicken back in.  Cover chicken with onion, green chilies, tomatoes and a little more garlic powder.  Put a tiny bit of water so the bottom isn't dry.  Sprinkle about a Tablespoon of taco seasoning over the mixture and stir all together.  Cook on low for another couple of hours.  Serve in tortillas with cheese and whatever else you like.
