Add the chopped onion and the diced jalapeno. Cook until the onion is tender. Add the cilantro, tomatoes, water and taco seasoning. Cook for about 7 minutes covered. Serve in the tortillas. They can be a tad spicy so I serve with fat free ranch...or you could use sour cream :) <BR/><BR/><BR/>Chicken Pepper Pasta<BR/>3 boneless skinless chicken breasts<BR/>1 yellow pepper<BR/>1 red pepper<BR/>1 can black olives<BR/>2 tsp. Italian Seasoning<BR/>2-3 tbls Chicken Bouillon<BR/>1pkg. thin spaghetti<BR/><BR/>Dice the chicken, peppers and olives into small peices and put into deep skillet. Add water, bouillon and italian seasoning. Cook until chicken is done and peppers are tender. When done, take out most of the sauce and put into blender with one tablespoon of flour to thicken. Add sauce back to chicken mixture. Serve over thin Spaghetti. (This is always a crowd favorite)<BR/><BR/>Chicken Salsa & Black Beans<BR/>3 boneless skinless chicken breasts<BR/>2 cans black beans<BR/>1 24 oz. jar chunky salsa<BR/>1 tbls. chili powder<BR/><BR/>Put all ingredients into your crockpot on low for 5 hours. Serve over white rice.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Chicken, Spinach Sundried tomato Pasta<BR/><BR/>3 boneless skinless chicken breasts<BR/>6 cups fresh spinach<BR/>1 small jar sundried tomatoes<BR/>1 pkg sliced mushrooms<BR/>1 tbls. flour<BR/>1 can chicken broth<BR/>1 pkg. Mini Penne<BR/><BR/>Cut the chicken into small peices and cook in a deep skillet (preheated with a little olive oil). While the chicken is cooking place the sundried tomatoes into a bowl and pour in chicken broth, place this in microwave for 3 minutes. When chicken is cooked add the mushrooms and half the flour. Cook for a few minutes until liqiud is released from mushrooms. Add the tomatoes and chicken broth - and remainder of flour. Cook for about 5 minutes and add spinach. Cook until spinach is wilted. Pour cooked penne into skillet and stir together. Serve....<BR/><BR/><BR/>There is a taste of what I can do beyond the realm of lemon pepper chicken. Let me know if you need more ideas. You know me and my love for cooking healthy :)Chelseahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13288687015056701477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24619880.post-15905397535189765212008-01-23T13:27:00.000-07:002008-01-23T13:27:00.000-07:00Steph,I have a few crockpot recipes...

I love to read your blog, because it's so much fun! I have three little people running around my house, and I feel like you've totally got a great handle on things at your house. Whatever you're not a great photographer! I think you do awesome -- and it probably helps a ton that you have such a cute subject! I wish I was that photogenic... I'm always blinking, which makes me look like I've been drinking (which I DON'T), which was really bad on my wedding day... oops. <BR/><BR/>Anyway, I have an awesome easy recipe that I sort of made my own, so here goes. It's the easiest lasagna you can make!<BR/><BR/>You will need:<BR/>- an 8x8 pan<BR/>- 6 lasagna noodles (just regular, cheap old lasagna noodles -- you don't need anything special or oven-ready)<BR/>- 1/2 of a 26-oz. can of spaghetti sauce (I really like Hunt's, and they have a ton of different kinds, and you can freeze the other half of the can for spaghetti or lasagna for another night -- plus, we usually add 1/2 pound of browned hamburger to make it a little more homemade-tasting)<BR/>- whatever cheese you like (we like mostly mozzarella with a littel bit of colby jack), shredded<BR/>- 3/4 c. water<BR/><BR/>Take the lasagna noodles and break them at the 2/3 point (so you have two sections for each noodle - one long one, and one short one). Place 3 long sections into an 8x8 pan. Spoon enough spaghetti sauce to cover the noodles. Sprinkle on as much cheese as you like. Next, put the 6 short sections on top of the cheese. Spoon the spaghetti sauce & sprinkle the cheese. Put the last layer of 3 long noodles on top, and then slowly pour the water over the top (this helps you make the last layer nice & even, but gets the water in there, too). Spoon the last bit of spaghetti sauce & top it off with the prettiest assortment of cheese (this is where our colby jack comes in). Cover tightly with foil and bake for one hour at 350 degrees. <BR/><BR/>That's it! If you go to the store that day, you can pick up some garlic bread, and we usually like to have a salad (we try to imitate Olive Garden and have a green salad with Caesar dressing and olives) or some corn on the cob, if it's in season. It takes about 5 minutes to assemble, it's fast, and delicious. Plus, if you're getting a sitter, it's really great for them, too, because they're sick of macaroni & cheese.<BR/><BR/>Okay, sorry for the forever-long post. I hope it helps, though. Have a great day!smileynannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15579164753158611160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24619880.post-13669441866630384042008-01-21T15:25:00.000-07:002008-01-21T15:25:00.000-07:00well i hope you take up seriously take up cooking ...well i hope you take up seriously take up cooking soon!

Haven't tried any recipes yet but I've got a ton bookmarked. Let me know which ones you have success with.<BR/><BR/>I love getting cooking magazines because they focus on what's in season and give you new ideas for the month. <BR/><BR/>I'm also starting a cooking journal for this year. We are always trying new recipes but then forget where we found them or what we liked/disliked. This way I can makes notes about what we try and when I'm in need of an idea I can look back through the year to see what worked well.<BR/><BR/>Good luck!Beazerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07410018445518313703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24619880.post-5649544646007420092008-01-20T22:52:00.000-07:002008-01-20T22:52:00.000-07:00I don't know, Steph, this Charity person sounds li...I don't know, Steph, this Charity person sounds like some kind of stalker to me ;)Britainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06480556038257701122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24619880.post-27113570921086276142008-01-20T22:16:00.000-07:002008-01-20T22:16:00.000-07:00Ok...after I posted I got a little concerned that ...Ok...after I posted I got a little concerned that you would think I was some kind of psycho wanting your address and such so I could send you some great cooking magazines....so I searched and finally figured out where I stumbled across your blog from...it's Britian, that's the link we have in common...so anyway....good luck with your cooking situation.<BR/><BR/>CharityCharityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05469857402162857525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24619880.post-71518584778960719182008-01-20T22:03:00.000-07:002008-01-20T22:03:00.000-07:00HiI don't know you...and don't know exactly how I ...Hi<BR/><BR/>I don't know you...and don't know exactly how I stumbled upon your blog, I think you are a link on someone I know...maybe someone from BYU....however, I absolutely LOVE all your ideas...especially your chenille blanket, which I bookmarked...I have SEVERAL quick cooking magazines that I would like to send you to help with your cooking situation....please e-mail me charity.manwaring@gmail.com and I will be happy to send them to you...<BR/><BR/>CharityCharityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05469857402162857525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24619880.post-75695661794778202272008-01-20T20:13:00.000-07:002008-01-20T20:13:00.000-07:00Festive Black Bean Chili2 cups chopped onions2 gar...Festive Black Bean Chili<BR/><BR/>2 cups chopped onions<BR/>2 garlic cloves, minced or pressed<BR/>1/2 cup water<BR/>1 T ground cumin<BR/>1 T ground coriander<BR/>1 cup prepared Mexican-style red salsa<BR/>2 red and/or green bell peppers, chopped<BR/>3 cups black beans (two 15-ounce cans, drained and rinsed)<BR/>3 cups canned whole tomatoes, with juice (28-ounce can)<BR/>2 cups fresh or frozen corn kernels (11-ounce package)<BR/>salt to taste<BR/>Tabasco or other hot pepper sauce to taste<BR/>1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro, or to taste (optional)<BR/><BR/>In a covered soup pot, cook the onions and garlic in the water on high heat, stirring frequently, for about 5 minutes.
