Second off, more raving on myself, I just decided to start back into Mary Kay Cosmetics. I love Mary Kay products and have been using them for years, I just decided that, in order to get some extra cash flow, I need to start selling it again! I am STOKED! Please, call me for a facial! ;o) Just message me and I'll get you my number.
Thirdsies, I have got a new recipe for YUMMY Crock Pot Chicken Taco Soup.
What you need:
1 tablespoon olive oil
4-5 chicken breasts (I buy the package of frozen breasts from H-E-B)
1 can of Rotel mild **
1 can black beans**
1 cup of rice (I use brown rice because white rice is too starchy and feeds my candida)
about 2 tablespoons of taco seasoning (I use Fiesta brand, made in San Antonio, TX)
about a teaspoon of comino (also Fiesta brand)
salt to taste (I use sea salt)
water (or chicken broth if you can have the yeast and sugar in it)
CROCK POT
**I have since discovered that I am not allowed to eat things from cans, but jarred foods are ok, so I precook my own beans and use a mild salsa that does NOT contain distilled or white vinegar as this is not allowed on candida diet either.)
Directions
pour the olive oil in the pot and coat the bottom, add the chicken, rotel, beans, and rice. fill the pot about 3 quarters full of the water and add the seasonings. You could add bell peppers and onions if you want that extra splash of flavor. Cook on low for 4-6 hours, you'll know it's done when the rice is fully cooked and the chicken shreds easily. NOTE: You may need to periodically add water so it doesn't get stew-y instead of soup-y, but I usually don't need to, I leave it at lunch time and go back to work.
I serve it with Black Bean chips (Beanitos brand, here's a link for a coupon: http://www.couponfactory.com/share/b286c342b0e7a8478d12cddd1dd35fe1ab904223/) fresh cilantro, avocado, and a dash of Tony Chacheres Cajun seasoning for a wee bit of heat. Sometimes I strain a little bit and put the solid stuff on top of a fresh salad with salsa and the cilantro and avocado. I like to use Green Mountain Gringo Salsa since it's organic, there's no sugar, and they use apple cider vinegar instead of white vinegar.
**I have also found Mark's Good Stuff Salsa which is made with apple cider vinegar instead of white and no added sugars. It IS Good Stuff! :)
