By now you’ve probably heard of (and tried) the recipe for what we call “crockpot chicken.” If not, I’ll tell you it below. And instead of using that chicken to make tacos or burritos, I like to use it to make chicken and black bean nachos. What You Need: -3 large chicken breasts -2 tbsp taco seasoning -2 cups salsa -Tortilla chips -1 cup black beans (drained) -1 cup shredded cheese (I like Colby Jack) -sour cream, extra salsa, cilantro for topping (optional) What To Do: 1.

Weekend Recap

30 Minute Shepard’s Pie
I feel like casseroles do a pretty good job of dividing people. They either love them or hate them and I happen to love them. Except tater tot casserole. Ugh. Here’s the thing, even if you don’t like casseroles, this Shepard’s Pie is delicious and it’s just as great if not better the next day. Besides being delicious, the other great thing about this dish is that there are only 7 ingredients and it takes 30 minutes to make from prep time to on the table. This is a huge when you’re short on time or you have a one year old crying at your ankles. What You Need: -1 can…
