Why I Love Crock Pot dinners... Put chopped onion, cans of beans, rotel, corn, chicken broth, and spices in crock pot and stir to mix. Place the chicken on top and make sure the chicken is covered partially with liquid,(add water if needed). Cook on high for 6-7 hours or low 8-9 hours. Before serving remove the chicken and shred, then return to crock pot sir to combine.

To serve place a few tortilla chips on the bottom of the bowl, ladle soup over the chips, top with topping of choice.

Enjoy!

It's whats for dinner tonight!

Chicken Ceasar Salad Burrito This is a quick and easy weeknight meal your whole family will like. First you need to grill chicken breasts. I do this on my inside stovetop griddle. Second you need Ceasar Salad. You can buy the bag of ready to go caesar salad, or as in my case use fresh romaine lettuce with a bottled Ceasar Dressing with your favorite croutons. I used white flour tortillas from Trader Joes, (my family prefers them to the whole wheat), use what your family likes. Layer the Ceasar Salad in the tortilla, top with sliced chicken breast. Roll the tortilla around the salad and chicken. Enjoy! My daughter calls these green burritos.

This is amazing and makes everything you do for the rest of the day a bit more functional. How functional can you be if you spend the majority of the day sitting? It wasn't long ago in our history of humans that our survival was determined by our ability to move. As humans we are designed to move; we can walk, run, jump, climb, carry heavy objects etc... In the past we did not have to think about it movement was built into our day. Today our modern life dictates that we sit.
