Name the meal…

 

Every one in a while I create a meal…… That I have no name for… It might be a soup or a stew or even a stoup.

Could just be something Fantabalous Just thrown together as fajitas or with a roast.  I never know.   I don’t usually plan a meal,  it is more of a spontaneous thing with me. spur of the moment.  Or what I just feel like sounds good to me at that time…… (go figure with the pregnancy hormones at the moment!)

So…… This is what is for dinner tonight.. It is already looking and smelling Delicious!

(4) Boiled Chicken breast (no skin no bone[always boiled in water with garlic salt and pepper])

Then it will be shredded, and tossed in with.

(1 pkg) frozen Peas ,carrots ,corn (mix that I got at my local H.e.b.)

(1 can) Diced tomatoes with green chilies,

(1 can) Diced tomatoes with onion and celery

(2 cans)black beans

Salt, pepper, Garlic, cumin and Chili powder (sorry ya’ll you know I hardly ever measure!)

and four cups of water.

The chicken is boiling right now. the stoup like substance is smelling totally delicious and mouth watering at the moment.

It' has come to my attention finally………….. That I just can not seem to blog enough!

 

So, Here I am now.  Finally trying to get back into this.  This round is for a different reason, The reason being that My hubby ,K, and I just found out we are expecting again.  With the Twins, G & Z, being 15 months come this Monday.  I’m realizing I need to be held accountable.  I need to Get back to home cooking.  To Not eating out unless its just about once a month!  Yes, you just heard that right,  I’m planning on a once a month “date” with my husband.  So that Once a month I can take a break from the cooking , the cleaning, the chores, and just sit back and enjoy some quality time with the love of my life!

Which brings us back to cooking……. and this cooking with twinspirations blog!  If I hold my self accountable here, On this blog, I will have to stay focused.  No more unnecessary  carbs,  More freggies (that’s fruit and veggies) .  All this Plus walking every afternoon as a family.  I am hoping and praying this will lead to a healthy uncomplicated pregnancy! So, Diner tonight is nothing fancy, But it is healthy Oven baked Chicken breast with broccoli, carrots, cauliflower, red peppers and Corn.  Might have to figure out a Snack for afterwards but So far I have been doing swell at eating healthy snacks too!

 

Now what I did with the meal………………………..

Baked Chicken and  Veggies

took a 9X13 pan Sprayed with cooking spray, then I laid 6 boneless skinless chicken breast on bottom.

Topped with the  veggies sprinkled with salt pepper garlic and Tony’s More spice seasonings

(update 5/8/12  Note to self: Tony’s More spice seasoning is Amazing Very very spicy! the boys Could not eat this and I had to warm them up something different. Either use a lot less of it when testing the waters again or… skip it and move on! =) )

So, Lets get on this journey and Lets do this! Shoot me a message about anything you would love tried either just on adults on the 15month olds or even if it’s the picky ages of 6&11! =) we have a house full and I can have a ton of testers!  I love new and inventive ideas and am always willing to try something at least once!
