ALL OF THESE SOUND GREAT! GOING TO GIVE SOME OF THEM A TRY THIS WEEKEND.

IM JUST A GRANNY, WHAT DOES " BUMP " MEAN?
AND IS THERE SOMEPLACE ON MFP THAT I CAN STORE RECIPES? BESIDES ON MY FOOD DIARY RECIPES LIST, LIKE COPY TO?

THANK YOU ONE AND ALL FOR SHARING

Hi, Bump just means that we read it and would like to refer to it later. Once you write on a wall you can see it in your My Topics. You can use any word or reply but if you just want to keep it then "Bump" is the most common.
I hope that helps. It took a while for me to figure it out.

I just invented this one tonight. All it needs is some fresh cilantro and that would make it perfect. I call it Tex Mex Chicken.

Tex Mex Chicken

ingredients:
2 boneless skinless chicken breasts (mine were 28 oz altogether, and is what I base the nutrition content on)
1 cup your favorite salsa (I used Pace chunky medium salsa)
2.25 cups black beans (I had leftover black beans from cooking them the other day, so I measured and tossed them in)
1 cup frozen corn (not thawed)
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
salt (to taste)
pepper (to taste)

Place chicken breasts in crock pot and pour salsa on top. Cover crock pot. Set on low and cook for 2 to 3 hours, or however long you need them to. Shred chicken, add beans and corn and spices to shredded chicken and salsa. Stir until mixed, then cover and cook on low in crock pot. Serve over rice or in soft taco shells. Garnish with diced fresh tomatoes. Shredded cheese and low fat sour cream would be good. I will use the leftovers to make burritos and freeze them for a future meal.

Makes 5 cups.

Only my really picky 17 yr old son wasn't thrilled about the dish.

This sounds like heaven! Thank you!!!
