    Stuffed peppers with ground turkey,. Add rice seasoning and veggies like grated onion, garlic and carrot to keep meat moist. Cover with tomato sauce and cook on low for about 6 hours. Yum!

    New to MFP. What does bump mean, please?

    Someone told me that "BUMP" stands for "Bring Up My Post", so that it'll show up in your message board history and you can find it later. :)

    Made Shredded Chicken Tacos last night!

    5 boneless-skinless chicken breast
    12 oz. jar of salsa
    2 TBS ground Cumin
    1 small can diced jalapeños (desired temp)
    1 small can green chilies

    Directions:
    Lay chicken breast in bottom of slow cooker-mix together rest of ingredients and pour over chicken. If chicken breast are frozen, cook on high for 4 hours-then low for 4 hours (or low for 8 hours) ; for thawed chicken breast cook on high for 4.
    Remove the chicken & shred; fill hard or soft shell tortilla with desired amount.
    With slotted spoon (to drain excess water) dish salsa/chilies/jalapeño mixture onto chicken-follow with desired toppings & enjoy!

    THESE ROCK & are about 200-250 cals each depending on what tortillas/toppings you use!

    *NOTE: you can skip the tortillas and make a taco salad using a bed of lettuce--saves you an easy 100 cals!

    Super Easy Chicken
    4-5 Frozen skinless boneless chicken breast
    1 package dry italian dressing mix
    1 cup warm water or fat free chicken broth

    place chicken in bottom of crockpot, sprinkle dressing mix over chicken then pour water or broth over chicken. Cover and cook on low 8-10 hours.

    Well crap - I grabbed ranch mix, rather than Italian. I knew it didn't sound right, but I couldn't remember. I hope it tastes ok tonight . . .
