Mmm! Lunch!

Yesterday morning I got a text from my friend's daughter telling me that she and TJ thought we should have chimichangas for dinner that night.  At first I groaned.  Ugh!  There's not time.  Then I realized that it was 7:30 in the morning and I had plenty of time to put meat in the crock pot. Having dinner decided ahead of time is a magical thing!  It saves me so much stress.

I ran downstairs and grabbed the beef roast and a bag of frozen chicken breasts from the freezer and set about putting the ingredients needed into the pots.  Once finished I set the temperature and let it do its work.

A few hours later the wonderful aroma filled the wall of our home.  Mmmm!  I couldn't wait to eat dinner!

Dinner was, not only delicious, but fun.  We enjoyed good company, yummy food, and tasty warm cookies...compliment of Lauren ;).

I always get stumped when trying to come up with something for lunch.  Meals...ugh.  I remembered my leftover chimichanga meat and an idea popped into my head.  I cooked up a bag of frozen mixed veggies, sprinkled in a bit of salt and pepper and some southwestern seasoning.  Then added the chicken to the pan.  I kept trying to think of s o m e t h i n g that would make this dish somehow better.  Light bulb!  I sprinkled in a bit of taco seasoning, placed the veggie/meat mixture onto the brown rice and topped it with a little salsa.  Yummy, spicy, satisfying meal.  Success!
