Salsa Verde Chicken

The "serving" size and calories for wraps are in my diary. this serves about 6 (or more if they are portion controlled meals)

6 boneless skinless chicken breast in the crock pot. On top, add:
one can of black beans and one can of sweet corn, both drained & rinsed.
1 tsp cumin
a 16oz jar of salsa verde
1 can rotel (or diced tomatos)

cook on low for 8 hours. remove half of the liquid then add 3 ounces of cream cheese. DO NOT use low fat or fat free cream cheese because it will not melt properly.
Cook an additional 30 minutes on low or warm.

serve on wraps, or over rice or even potatos.

Meatless chili! My recipe equals 2.5 ww points+ per cup!

(1) big jar jalapenos, sliced
(3) stalks celery, chopped
(2) sliced carrots
(1) onion, diced
(2) lg cans crushed tomato
(1) red pepper, chopped
(1) yellow pepper, chopped
(2) cans red kidney beans
(2) cans black beans
(1) can garbanzo beans
(4) TBSP oregano
(4) TBSP minced garlic
(1) TBSP sea salt
(1) TSP cumin
(1) TBSP black pepper
(2) roma tomatoes, sliced
(1/2) cup chili powder

put it all in the crock and cook it 8 hrs on low!
top with 75% reduced fat cabot cheese and light sour cream!

if you like meat, add some, I also have made it with tofu which I have pan fried with cooking spray, diced!
steak, sausage, hamburger, whatever would be great in it, too!
Enjoy!
Also, this is my regular recipe, but I play with it depending on who I am feeding, some people do not like so much spice, so I will server jalapenos seperately:)

Also, I made spaghetti sauce in the crock the other day and just added sausage for my husband in the beginning! You can easily use jarred/canned sauce and add yr meat (meatballs, sausage, chicken, etc) in the am and when you come home make some spaghetti and yr done:) If I use store bought sauce I usually cut up a ton of fresh veggies (whatevers on hand) to make it my own


The crock pot has done wonders for us in terms of not being tempted to order take-out! When dinner is cooking while yr at work, you can get excited about it cos you don't have to cook it. lol. and coming home to a delicious smelling dinner cooking is the closest to having a good little housewife my husband and I will ever have;)

My husband loves this!!! It's a little high on sodium, but in moderation not a bad meal.

French Dip Subwiches

-2 packages of sliced roast beef deli meat OR 1 chuck roast (lower sodium content)
-1 can beef consume'
-1 can french onion soup

Throw it all in the slow cooker on low for 3-4 hours OR on high for 6-8 hours if you're using chuck roast.

Serve on hoagie buns w/ swiss cheese slices.

Bump - yum, this is my alltime favorite sandwich
