Finally...I cooked again!!

Well it's been almost a week since my last post. It's not that I haven't cooked but between soccer practices (I'm coaching again) packing for our trip, working, & lots of leftovers... I just haven't made a full "meal" in awhile. 

Anyway.. Yesterday was yet another  crazy day between work, dr's appointment, and soccer practice, BUT I wanted to make something especially since Dave was leaving Tuesday for the week & headed to a very small town in North Dakota & who knows what kind of food he'll find there. So out came the handy dandy crock pot - I seriously love that thing. I wasn't sure what I wanted to make but I knew I didn't have much time in between work & the doctor, so I settled on salsa chicken. It was super tasty & a little spicy too - just the way I like it! :) you can tone the spice down by using a mild salsa & either omitting the jalapeños or replacing with a green or red pepper. I served it over spaghetti squash and had a sweet potato & steamed green beans on the side. Delish! Hope you enjoy 😀
